Epiphany - Modular Skill Tree

# Epiphany - Modular Skill Tree !(https://s41.ax1x.com/2026/07/13/pmsOPf0.png) > 夫尽小者大，积微者著。 > Greatness is built from the smallest deeds; distinction from the smallest gains. > *<p align="right">Xunzi · General Principles</p>* **Epiphany** is a **data-driven**, modular skill tree mod for Minecraft, inspired by the Tradition mechanics of the classic sci-fi strategy game *Stellaris*. As an API mod designed for developers, it does not include any built-in skill tree content or attribute modifications. Instead, it provides a highly flexible character building framework for modpack and mod authors. > **Requires (https://github.com/LDLib-MC/LDLib-Mod) as a dependency.** ## Quick Start - Press the **K** key to open the Build System GUI. - Check out the (https://github.com/HaooooZhang/Epiphany/blob/main/ExamplePack.zip) and the (https://docs.myumoon.ink/Epiphany/Overview.html) to dive deeper into Epiphany and quickly create your own skill trees. ## Features - **Modular Building**: Say goodbye to massive, monolithic skill trees. Players freely mix and match modules to craft their own unique progression path. - **Fully Data-Driven**: All modules, insights, epiphanies, and paths are defined through datapacks. Create a vast RPG skill system without writing a single line of Java. - **Rich Built-in Presets**: The mod ships with an extensive set of conditions and rewards ready to use out of the box: 1. **30+ Condition Types**: Dynamically evaluate player attributes, current structure, statistics, and more to auto-unlock modules and epiphanies. Includes logical and relational operators for complex expressions. 2. **14+ Reward Types**: Vanilla attribute modifiers, command execution, item granting, status effects, and much more. 3. **16 Aptitude Sources**: Mining blocks, exploring biomes, slaying mobs... and what's more — aptitude gain is fully customizable! - **Highly Configurable**: Through the config file, authors can easily adjust the aptitude level-up formula, player slot limits, experience gain multipliers, and notification toggles, blending seamlessly into any modpack's progression balance. - **Strong Compatibility & Mod Support**: Integrates with FTB Quests, KubeJS, and other mainstream modpack development tools. Provides an open API, custom events, and supports KubeJS scripting for both event listening and API calls. - **Polished GUI**: Built on LDLib, Epiphany features a carefully crafted UI with smooth node connections, draggable insight trees, and dynamic layout adjustments for a refined player experience. ## Mod Architecture - **Module**: An independent, self-contained skill tree unit. Developers can configure selection costs, module caps, and more. - **Insight**: The smallest unit within a module — incremental upgrade nodes. Their effects tend toward quantitative changes (minor stat adjustments, etc.). Insights within a module automatically form a tree structure based on depth; an insight can only be unlocked once all of its parent nodes are lit. - **Epiphany**: When a player fully unlocks every insight within a module, the module is completed and grants **+1 Epiphany Slot**. The player can then use this slot to freely activate an Epiphany. Epiphany effects tend toward qualitative changes (new mechanics, powerful passives). Developers can set the maximum epiphany slot count. - **Path**: An optional categorization label for epiphanies. Epiphanies without a specified path fall into the default group. - **Aptitude**: The player's experience reservoir, earned by performing behaviors defined in datapacks. The formula for required aptitude per level is configurable. - **Insight Point**: Each time the aptitude bar fills, it automatically converts into 1 Insight Point. Players spend Insight Points to select modules and unlock insights. ## Advanced Development & Future Plans Want to go beyond the built-in presets? Epiphany offers comprehensive extension channels: - Rich custom events and APIs - KubeJS scripting support for event listening and data management - Conditions, rewards, and aptitude sources are all registered through the registry system — developers are welcome to build advanced gameplay addons on top of Epiphany The author is also planning a series of addon packs that integrate with more mainstream mods for expanded data and behavior compatibility.
