Progressive RPG

Hello everyone! This is my first project.

What started as a simple mod to play with friends eventually grew into something much bigger. I spent around 6 months working on it while learning Java from scratch, coming from a JavaScript background.

This project is far from perfect, but it represents the prototype and foundation of what I want to continue building in the future.

Please note that everything listed below is only a small part of what the mod currently contains.

Recommended Modpack

The intended way to play Progressive RPG is through the official modpack:

The modpack includes the required datapacks, configs, balance changes, and compatible mod versions.

It also modifies various aspects of progression to better fit the overall design of Progressive RPG.

Some of the changes included are:

Enchantment fixes and adjustments.
Progression tweaks.
Balance changes for certain mechanics.
Compatibility improvements.
Additional gameplay changes.

The datapack has already been submitted to CurseForge.

Once it gets approved, I will add the download link here.

Using the datapack is highly recommended, as some mechanics and balance changes were designed with it in mind.

Important

Progressive RPG is mainly designed for multiplayer servers.

It can be played in singleplayer, but the intended experience is cooperative and multiplayer-oriented.

This mod was built around the RPG Series ecosystem and many other RPG mods. We love the work done by Daedelus Dev, and many mechanics were designed specifically to integrate with those mods and create a deeper RPG experience.

The full modpack is now available on CurseForge:

RPG Horizons Modpack

For the best experience, I strongly recommend downloading the modpack instead of installing the mod alone, since Progressive RPG was designed around the full RPG Horizons setup, including configs, datapacks, integrations, and balance changes.

Please use only CurseForge links and respect the recommended versions.

Main Features

Anti Mob-Farm System

Configurable through JSON.

Detects excessive mob farming and can apply penalties, including sending players to jail.

New Attributes

Progressive RPG adds and modifies many attributes, including:

Energy Shield
Block Chance
Accuracy
Armor Penetration
Life Regeneration
Magic Resistance
Critical mechanics
And much more

Auction House

Available mainly in the spawn area.

Players can buy and sell mod items, as well as many vanilla items.

Resources such as diamonds and ores can have levels, increasing their value depending on the danger of the zone where they were obtained.

Land Core

A custom protection block designed to secure player territories.

Since the pack uses harder mobs and mods where enemies can destroy blocks, I created this system to give players safe areas.

Combat Rework

Physical armor and magical resistance formulas have been completely redesigned.

Several vanilla and modded effects have also been adjusted.

For example:

Wither
Poison
Burn

These effects scale with the zone level or the attacker's level.

Mechanics such as Witcher RPG's Adrenaline have also been rebalanced to reward character progression rather than simple spamming.

Extended Inventory

Backpack mods are intentionally unsupported.

Instead, the mod provides two additional inventory pages that can be unlocked using the mod currency.

Death Penalty

You no longer drop all your items when dying.

Instead, players may lose:

Mod experience
Currency
Some inventory items

Your hotbar, off-hand, armor, and accessory slots are protected.

Currency System

Currency is connected to almost every progression mechanic:

Equipment upgrades
RPG item repairs
Land Core upgrades
Inventory unlocks
Auction House trading
And much more

RPG Chests

Chests have internal levels from 1 to 100 and five rarities:

Normal
Magic
Rare
Elite
Boss

Higher rarity and level mean better rewards.

Night Bonuses

Certain nights provide experience bonuses.

Special potions can also increase experience gain.

Equipment Progression

The mod includes upgrade materials for:

Item levels
Rarity upgrades
Affix rerolls
Socket opening
Refinement
Gems
And much more

RPG Durability

RPG items never disappear when broken.

Instead, they become damaged and must be repaired using materials and currency.

Unused items can be sold through the Auction House.

Scaled Mobs

Mobs have their own:

Levels
Rarities
Increased stats
Better rewards

Creating a more RPG-oriented progression system.

Mount and Pet System

Mounts and companions have their own progression systems and special mechanics.

Party System and Automatic Loot Distribution

No more arguing about loot.

The party system automatically distributes rewards between players.

Attribute System

Players receive 3 attribute points per level, allowing full character customization.

Vigor System

The longer you survive without dying, the stronger the bonuses become.

Benefits include:

More currency
Better drop rates
Improved loot quality
Additional experience
And more

Nights Cannot Be Skipped

Sleeping no longer skips the night.

The server can also freeze when no players are online to preserve time progression.

Admin Protection Zones

Admins can create as many protected areas as needed.

Perfect for:

Spawn areas
Safe zones
Cities
Event locations

Mod Integrations

Progressive RPG integrates with many other mods.

For example:

Waystones

Indestructible.
Can be purchased through the shop.
Have their own rarity system.
Cannot be placed beyond their allowed level zones.

Many other mods have custom integrations and balance adjustments.

And Much More…

This page only covers a fraction of the systems currently available.

Progressive RPG also includes:

Zone-based leveling system
Zone progression from level 1 to 100
Custom item rarity system
Affixes and item rolls
Socket and gem system
Refinement system
Safe slots
Mount binding
Improved mob AI support
