New Features

Skill System

• Each skill has its own XP pool and level (1–20)
• All skills start at level 1

• Levels 15–19 use hardcoded XP values for a smoother late-game progression:
  • 15→16: 1,458 XP
  • 16→17: 1,958 XP
  • 17→18: 2,458 XP
  • 18→19: 2,958 XP
  • 19→20: 3,458 XP

Mining

• Grants XP for breaking stone, ores and minerals with a pickaxe
• XP scales with ore rarity (coal → diamond/emerald)
• Ancient Debris grants the highest mining XP (30)
• Restricts pickaxe tier by level (wood/stone/iron/diamond/netherite)

Farming

• Grants XP for breaking crops, soil, dirt and farmland with a hoe or shovel
• Passive global XP multiplier bonus for all skills:
  • Level 5: +6.25%

  • Level 15: +18.75%
  • Level 20: +25%

Foraging

• Logs grant more XP than leaves and planks
• Restricts axe tier by level

Strength

• Grants XP for dealing melee damage with swords and axes
• Axes used as weapons require Strength (same tier as swords)

Archery

• Grants XP for hitting mobs with arrows
• Normal arrows always usable
• Spectral arrows require Archery level 10

UI

Skill Screen (K)

• Press K to open the skill progress screen
• Shows all 7 skills with current level, XP progress bar and XP needed for next level
• Gold bar and "Mastered!" text when a skill reaches level 20
• Screen requests a fresh sync from the server every time it opens

Item Tooltips

• All restricted items show their skill requirements in the tooltip
• Green ✔ if you meet the requirement, red ✘ if you do not

Technical

• Skill data saved to player NBT — persists across restarts and rejoins
• Server syncs skill data to client on join and after every skill change
• Client requests a fresh sync every time the skill screen is opened
• Fully server-side enforced — mod required on both client and server in multiplayer
• Compatible with Fabric API 0.153.0+ for MC 26.1.2

Known Limitations

• Copper armor support depends on whether a copper armor mod is installed
• No config file — all values are hardcoded in this version
• MC 26.1.2 only — no support for older versions in this release
