Skill Tree

Turn your Experience into Permanent Power.

Skill Tree (by JammingDino) completely overhauls how you view Experience Points in Minecraft. Instead of hoarding levels only to lose them in a lava pit, use them to unlock permanent passive abilities, stat boosts, and unique game-changing mechanics.

To get started, simply craft and place a Skill Altar, then right-click it to open the radial skill menu. From there, you can spend your collected Experience Points to unlock permanent passive abilities that persist even after death. These upgrades range from basic stat boosts and faster mining speed to unique mechanics like moving swiftly through lava or pulling enemies towards you with every hit. To access more powerful, higher-tier skills, you will simply need to upgrade your Altar to better materials like Iron, Diamond, or Obsidian.

Key Features

Radial Skill System: A beautiful, easy-to-navigate circular skill tree interface.
Skill Altars: Craft tiered Altars (Iron, Diamond, Emerald, Obsidian) to access the skill tree. Higher tiers unlock more advanced skills.
Permanent Progression: Unlocked skills remain with you even after death.
XP Points System: Costs are calculated in raw XP points, allowing for fine-tuned balancing.

For Mod Developers: Built-in Editor

Skill Tree is 100% Data-Driven. What does that mean? If you want to create your own skills you don't even need to learn JSON, you can simply use the built in developer skill altar block to start building out custom skills in real time inside of minecraft.

Place a Developer Skill Altar. Open the GUI to access the In-Game Skill Editor. Design your skill (Name, Icon, Cost, Prerequisites, and Effects). Click Export. The mod handles the rest, generating the JSON files needed for your modpack or datapack.

If you're a developer, make sure to correctly mark Skill Tree (Fabric) as either an optional or required dependency in your files here on CurseForge

Report Bugs: Please report any issues on the GitHub Issues page.
The mod is still in active development, expect features to be completly reworked or changed without warning. If you have any ideas of features that you would like to see implemented please head to the github and create an issue outlining your idea with the label: "enhancement", or just leave a comment on the curseforge page. At the moment the mod is being built around specific modpacks, or specific projects in mind, eventually I will expand the set of default skills to be generic and useful across all manner of minecraft modpacks.
