Fretux's Skill Engine

# **Skill Engine** **Skill Engine** is **not** a standalone progression mod. It does **not** add gameplay, attributes, or abilities by itself. Instead, **Skill Engine is a framework** designed to let other mods create their own **highly customizable skill trees**, complete with: * Node unlocking * Attribute requirements * Custom icons * Skill point handling * Server synchronization * Requirements & tooltips * Interaction with other progression systems (like Ascend) If you're looking for a mod that _adds_ skills, this is **not** it. *** ## **Features** ### JSON-driven Skill Tree System Mods can register their own skill nodes simply by adding JSON files under: ``` data/<yourmodid>/skillnodes/*.json ``` ### Automatic Node Rendering Nodes are positioned, displayed, zoomed, panned, and drawn automatically in the Skill Tree GUI. ### Icons Support Use **your own textures** or **vanilla item textures** as node icons. ### Requirements System Nodes can specify: * Linked nodes * Prerequisite attributes * Skill costs * Custom tags The UI automatically displays requirements in tooltips and overlays. ### Unlock Logic & Sync Unlocking is fully handled server-side and synced to the client. ### Full API Support Skill Engine includes a public API class that allows other mods to: * Give skill points * Unlock skill nodes * Check unlock state * Access player skill data * Register or reference nodes *** ## **How to Use Skill Engine in Your Mod** Skill Engine is designed to be extremely easy to integrate. **1\. Add Skill Engine as a Dependency** In your `mods.toml`: ```toml ] modId="skillengine" type="required" versionRange=", "tags": , "icons": "minecraft:textures/item/iron_sword.png", "prerequisites": { "strength": 10, "agility": 5 } } ``` Place this in: ``` data/yourmodid/skillnodes/basic_strength.json ``` Skill Engine will automatically detect it and add it to the tree. *** **3\. Use the API in Your Code** Skill Engine exposes a simple API: ```java SkillEngineAPI.unlockNode(player, SkillEngineAPI.rl("yourmodid", "basic_strength")); SkillEngineAPI.addSkillPoints(player, 3); boolean unlocked = SkillEngineAPI.isUnlocked(player, SkillEngineAPI.id("welcome")); ``` You can interact with the system without touching internal classes. *** Skill Engine **does nothing by itself**. It does _not_ add a skill tree or abilities on its own. You only need this mod if: * A mod you play **depends** on Skill Engine * You want to install addons that create skill trees
