Linceros LevelTools
Linceros LevelTools is an RPG-style progression mod for NeoForge 1.21.1 that completely transforms how you interact with your gear. Originally inspired by a Hytale mod concept, it breathes life into your tools, weapons, and armors by allowing them to gain Experience, level up, and even evolve into better materials!
Features
Tool & Armor Leveling
Your gear is no longer static! Every block you mine, every mob you hit, and every time you take damage, your equipped gear gains XP. As you gain XP, your items will level up.
- Polynomial Scaling: Each level requires more XP than the last, creating a balanced and rewarding RPG progression curve that doesn't become impossible in the end-game.
- Armor Scaling: Taking damage happens less frequently than mining stone. Armors have a configurable XP multiplier (5x by default) so they level up alongside your tools naturally!
- Full Repair: By default, leveling up fully repairs your item!
- Visual & Audio Feedback: Enjoy satisfying sound effects and particle bursts when leveling up, culminating in a spectacular Totem-like particle explosion when an item evolves!
Dynamic Stat Bonuses
As your gear levels up, it becomes inherently stronger:
- Max Durability: Increases by a percentage with every level, making your favorite gear last much longer.
- Mining Speed: Pickaxes, axes, and shovels become noticeably faster.
- Attack Damage: Swords and weapons strike harder with each new tier.
- Damage Reduction: Worn armors provide a percentage-based incoming damage reduction per level (capped at 80% to prevent invincibility).
Tool & Armor Evolutions
Why throw away a wooden pickaxe or a leather tunic when they can evolve? Every 5 levels (configurable), your gear will Evolve into the next material tier!
Sleek User Interface
- Dynamic HUD: A clean, unobtrusive XP bar appears on your screen when you switch to a tool or gain XP. It automatically fades out after 3 seconds of inactivity to keep your screen clear!
- Tooltips: Hover over any leveled tool or armor in your inventory to see its exact XP, Level, and active Stat Bonuses.
Highly Configurable
Almost everything can be tweaked in the mod's configuration file (run/config/leveltools-common.toml):
- Base XP required for Level 1.
- Polynomial XP multiplier.
- Percentage bonuses for Speed, Damage, Durability, and Armor Reduction.
- Armor XP Gain Multipliers.
- Evolution interval (e.g., evolve every 5 levels, 10 levels, or disable entirely).
- HUD Position (Top Left, Bottom Right, Center, etc.).
For Modpack Makers & Modders
Linceros LevelTools includes a built-in Java API that allows you to register custom evolutions for your own modded items in just one line of code!
// Example: Make a Lead Pickaxe evolve into a Silver Pickaxe
LevelToolsAPI.registerEvolution(ModItems.LEAD_PICKAXE.get(), ModItems.SILVER_PICKAXE.get());
Commands
Server admins and mapmakers can use the /leveltools command to manage progression:
/leveltools addxp <amount>: Instantly grants XP to the held tool./leveltools setlevel <level>: Forces a tool to a specific level and applies stats instantly.
