Description

Kindlewood Races lets every player pick a race when they first join. It is part of the Kindlewood RPG mods and needs Kindlewood Core and Kindlewood Levels.

The races

Every race nets the same four stat points, so none is simply better: most trade a strength for a weakness.

Race Stats Trait Size Racial ability (B)
Human +1 Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence and Vitality +5% XP 100% Rally: Speed and Strength for nearby players
High Elf +4 Intelligence, +1 Dexterity, -1 Strength +10% max mana 105% Arcane Blink: blink 8 blocks
Wood Elf +4 Dexterity, +1 Intelligence, -1 Vitality +5% movement speed 100% Nature's Grace: regeneration and cleanse
Dwarf +3 Vitality, +2 Strength, -1 Dexterity +10% fire resistance, +20% knockback resistance 85% Stoneform: Resistance II, slower
Halfling +3 Dexterity, +1 Intelligence, +1 Vitality, -1 Strength +1 luck 70% Lucky Escape: vanish, run, shake off mobs
Orc +4 Strength, +2 Vitality, -2 Intelligence +1 attack knockback 110% Bloodrage: Strength II for some health

Size uses Minecraft's own scale attribute, so Halflings really are small and Orcs tall.

For server owners and pack makers

  • Races are datapack files in data/<namespace>/kindlewood_races/race/: change the numbers, or add races of your own with any attributes, a size, an XP bonus and one of the racial abilities.
  • config/kindlewood_races-server.toml: whether players can change race, whether the picker opens on first join, a start point per race (players are sent there and respawn there until they set a bed), and ability cooldowns.
  • Commands: /race opens the picker. Operators have /kwraces set, /kwraces reset and /kwraces get.

Compatibility

Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge 21.1. Needed on both the client and the server. Requires Kindlewood Core and Kindlewood Levels (0.1.1 or newer).

Modpacks

You may include Kindlewood mods in any modpack, as long as the pack downloads them from this page (or Modrinth). No need to ask.

All the Kindlewood mods come together in the Kindlewood modpack, a public development build: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/kindlewood
