PeakSkills

A server-side RPG progression system for Fabric 1.21.1 — no client mod required.

Level up 16 skills through normal gameplay, unlock permanent stat bonuses, complete collections, and raise pets — all without touching your clients. Everything runs on the server. Players connect with vanilla.

⚔️ Skills

Gain XP in 16 skills just by playing. No grind spots, no minigames — just do what you already do in Minecraft.

Excavating	Shovel dirt, sand, gravel	Strength, Toughness
Farming	Harvest mature crops	Health, Luck
Fishing	Catch fish	Luck, Health

Each skill levels from 1 to 99, granting permanent stat bonuses every level. Every skill also has two abilities — unlocked at Lv.50 and Lv.99 — that provide meaningful passive effects (double XP chances, healing on hit, pet XP multipliers, and more).

Milestone item rewards drop at Lv.25, 50, 75, and 99 — ranging from useful tools early on to legendary items like the Elytra, Trident, and Nether Star at max level.

📊 Stats

Six stats grow permanently as you level skills, complete collections, and level pets. They map directly to vanilla attributes — no custom systems, no compatibility issues.

Stat	Effect
❤ Health	Increases max HP
⚔ Strength	Increases melee damage
🛡 Defense	Reduces incoming damage
🔩 Toughness	Reduces armor penetration
🍀 Luck	Improves loot tables and fishing drops
⚡ Swiftness	Increases movement speed

Hearts always display as 2 rows regardless of how much HP you have. Your real effective HP and defense are shown live in the action bar above your hearts.

📦 Collections

Break blocks and collect mob drops to fill out your collections. There are 65 collection types spanning mining, woodcutting, farming, fishing, and combat — each with 9 tiers and increasing thresholds.

Rewards are weighted toward permanent stat bonuses, with meaningful item rewards at mid and late tiers calibrated to difficulty:

Common resources (cobblestone, dirt, wood): steady stat gains, Golden Apple at tier 9
Mid-tier resources (iron, gold, obsidian): XP bottles, diamonds, Netherite Scrap at tier 9
Rare resources (ancient debris, wither skeleton, nautilus shell): Netherite Ingot or Nether Star at tier 9

Overall progress is tracked across all 585 tiers combined.

🐾 Pets

Craft pet eggs via the Pet Breeder in the /pets menu using mob drops. Hatch one, activate your pet, and it passively earns XP alongside you — scaling off whatever skill you're currently leveling.

18 pet types — one for every major mob type
5 rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary
Each pet has unique abilities — XP multipliers, stat boosts, and more
Higher rarity = stronger abilities and higher stat caps
Pet abilities unlock at level milestones and grow stronger at max level
Only one pet can be active at a time — swap anytime via /pets

🌱 Replenish Enchantment

A custom enchantment for hoes. When you harvest a fully grown crop, it is automatically replanted — one seed is consumed from the drop. Works on Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, Beetroot, Nether Wart and Cocoa Beans.

Unlocked at Farming Lv.30.

🎣 Fishing

Fishing uses a custom loot table with multiple rarity tiers — from common fish to rare treasure. Luck stat and Fishing level both influence what you catch. XP scales with catch rarity.
