Improvable Skills
by Zeith
With Improvable Skills, players spend experience and Book of Skills items to raise abilities that change how tools, armor and crafting blocks behave.
What it does
Each skill is a separate upgrade a player can level with experience and Book of Skills items. Skills cover working speed for a furnace, a brewing stand and a cutting axe, attack speed for weapons, extra armor points, durability for tools and armor, and a lower enchanting level requirement. The mod is a rewrite of the older PlayerStats and PlayerStats 2 mods, rebuilt on HammerLib.
HammerLib is required, so it must be installed alongside the mod. Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional and adds its item and recipe views when present. Improvable Skills runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.10.2 – 1.21.1, under All rights reserved, and the source code is public. More Improvable Skills [Addon] depends on this mod.
