Skillheim adds a new layer of character growth to your survival experience without touching the vanilla XP or Enchanting systems. **You keep your green XP orbs for enchanting; Skillheim handles your physical stats.** It operates on a simple philosophy inspired by **Valheim**: *You get better at what you do.* - Want to run faster? **Start sprinting.** - Want to deal more damage with a spear? **Start stabbing.** - Want to lose that progress? **Die.** This mod fits naturally into vanilla gameplay, rewarding you for the time you spend surviving, fighting, and exploring. --- ## Skills & Progression Skillheim tracks your actions and automatically levels up specific stats. All bonuses are passive and stack with your existing gear. ### Movement & Agility * **Run:** Sprinting gradually increases your base movement speed. * **Jump:** Leaping increases your jump height. * **Swim:** Spending time in water increases your swim speed. * **Sneak:** Crouching improves your stealth capabilities. ### Combat & Gathering * **Fists:** Punch mobs to increase your unarmed damage (starts with a 10x XP multiplier for quick early gains!). * **Woodcutting & Mining:** Chop trees and break ores to level up your gathering speed. * **Blocking:** Successfully shielding attacks improves your damage reduction. ### Weapon Mastery Skillheim now supports vanilla weapons **and** modded weapons (like *Simply Swords*) out of the box. * **Standard Weapons:** Swords, Axes, and Bows. * **Light Weapons:** Fast, agile weapons (Daggers, Rapiers, etc). * **Heavy Weapons:** Massive, slow-hitting tools (Claymores, Greataxes). * **Specialized:** Clubs and Spears. ### Consequences Just like its inspiration, Skillheim makes death meaningful. * **The Death Tax:** Dying isn't free. You lose **5% of your levels** (configurable) upon death. * **Feedback:** Upon respawning, you will see a chat message detailing exactly which skills suffered amnesia (e.g., *"You feel your memories fade... Run -1, Heavy Weapons -1"*). * **Level Cap:** All skills are capped at **Level 100**, with XP requirements scaling exponentially as you progress. --- ## Interface Skillheim features a freshly redesigned UI that is clean, intuitive, and beautiful. * **Inventory Integration:** A button sits neatly in your inventory. Just look for the **"Skillheim!"** tooltip. * **The Grid System:** Gone is the scrolling list. The new UI features a comprehensive **4x4 Grid**, allowing you to see every single skill, its level, and its progress bar at a glance. * **Instant Feedback:** Receive "Level Up" advancements immediately when you improve a skill. * **Keybind:** Press **`K`** (default) to open the skills menu directly. --- ## Compatibility Skillheim is now available for **Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge**. | Version | Fabric | Forge | NeoForge | | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | | **1.20.1** | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | | **1.21.1** | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ | --- ## ⚙️ Configuration Server owners and modpack makers have full control via `skills.json` or the in-game **Mod Menu** config screen. * **XP Multipliers:** Adjust the learning speed for every individual skill. * **Death Penalty:** Change the percentage of levels lost on death (Default: `0.05`).
