Archetypes

Players choose between the Brawler, Cutpurse and Seeker archetypes, and can preview some abilities of each before committing. Each archetype has a skill tree of 60 levels, made of a 15-level sub-tree and a 5-level epic sub-tree, and the trees add active and passive abilities. Archetype experience mirrors vanilla experience: whatever drops experience orbs grants archetype experience, and vanilla advancements permanently raise the rate at which it is gained.

The Brawler's Bladestorm Slayer tree is built around greatswords, which have seven tiers and are strictly two-handed, so off-hand items cannot be used while one is held. The Cutpurse's Shadow Step Assassin tree is built around daggers, which have seven tiers, swing faster and deal less damage than a regular sword, and includes an opener that blinks behind a target. The Seeker's Meteorite Elementalist tree uses five tiers of wands to cast spells that spend mana. Potion of Amnesia resets tree nodes or, in its stronger form, the archetype choice itself.

Archetypes requires Fabric API and Player Animation Library, and Skill Proficiencies is an optional dependency. Gameplay logic runs on the server, and the mod works in both singleplayer and multiplayer. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge in 8 release versions, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 26.2, and the code is under the MIT License and open source.
