Epiphany - Modular Skill Tree
by HaooooZhang
Epiphany is a NeoForge skill tree mod for 1.21.1 in which progression is assembled from modules, insights and paths defined through datapacks.
What it does
Epiphany replaces one large fixed skill tree with a set of modules that players combine into a personal progression route. A pack author can shape the content in datapacks, so a skill system can be built without writing Java. The mod ships with built-in presets covering conditions, rewards and aptitude sources that work out of the box.
The mod requires LDLib, and players open the Build System screen with the K key. Epiphany is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. KubeJS is optional. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Modpack authors and server owners who want a configurable skill system, and players who prefer assembling their own progression over a single fixed tree.
