Frostveil

[0.0.2] - 2026-07-29

Added

• Skill Tree: a full 3-branch progression system (Combat / Mining / Vitality), opened with the K keybind.
  • 4 main nodes per branch, plus 2 optional side nodes each (cheaper stat bumps branching off node 2 and the capstone).
  • Combat: flat + percent Attack Damage, Looting on swords, Frostbite (chance to slow on melee hit), plus side nodes for Crit Chance and Attack Knockback.
  • Mining: Mining Speed, Bonus Ore Chance, Frostveil Prospector (bonus Raw Frostveil), Auto-Smelt capstone, plus side nodes for Luck and Underwater Mining Speed.
  • Vitality: Max Health, Armor Toughness, Frost Ward (freeze immunity), Second Wind (regen burst below 25% HP), plus side nodes for Armor and Knockback Resistance.
  • Points are earned via a dedicated XP bar that fills from regular vanilla XP gains (kills, mining, smelting, breeding, fishing, etc.) - not a separate grind.
  • Screen supports scroll-to-zoom and click-drag panning, scoped to just the node area (UI chrome stays fixed).
  • New "Bonuses" screen summarizing every unlocked node across all 3 branches at a glance.
  • Visuals use vanilla's actual button sprites (tinted per branch/state) and a classic beveled panel, matching native Minecraft menu styling.
• Advancements: Land a Critical Hit, Harvest Winter Berries, Make a Winter Berry Salad, Upgrade a Skill Tree Node.
• Tooltips: Alt-hold reveals active buff bonuses (Crit Chance/Damage potions) on weapon tooltips instead of always showing them; Attack Damage line now reflects Combat skill tree bonuses; armor pieces now show a Durability line.
• JEI compatibility: added as an optional compile-time dependency (no hard requirement to install/launch).
• Cross-mod compatibility: Frostveil Bar registered into the shared c:ingots tag so other mods' "any ingot" recipes accept it.
• Frost Iron: a new material tier between Iron/Gold and Diamond (same mining level as Iron, better durability/speed/damage). Crafted from an Iron Ingot + Snowball. Comes with a Frost Sword, Frost Pickaxe, and Frost Axe.
• Skill Scroll: a rare, non-craftable item with a 2% chance to drop from any mob kill and a 1.5% chance to drop from mining any ore. Right-click to instantly gain 1 skill point (bypasses the XP bar).

Changed

• Winter Berry Bush and Frostveil Ore now drop Fortune-scaled Raw Frostveil (loot table bonus function), and Fortune levels can be granted virtually via the Mining skill tree.
• Skill tree nodes now turn green once unlocked (previously turned the branch's accent color), on both the tree screen and the Bonuses screen. Accent colors are still used for connecting lines, headers, and the "next available" highlight.
• Eating a Winter Berry Salad now returns a Bowl, matching vanilla stew items.
• Weapon tooltips now show active buffs (Crit Chance/Damage potions) by default; holding Alt now hides them to show base stats instead (previously the reverse).
