Level and Compass Craft
by zeroshot
Level and Compass Craft adds a leveling system to the player, where spending experience points grants powers and a compass that locates structures.
What it does
Leveling up in Level and Compass Craft grants a set of powers, and each power has a maximum level. Some powers add effects such as extra reach, fall damage reduction, bonus experience, faster mining, extra drops, added attack damage, chain-breaking of connected ores, improved luck in fishing and villager trades, and igniting nearby mobs. The compass is a craftable item that can be upgraded with experience so it locates structures, and the mod also adds a power list and a structure compass display.
The mod runs on both Fabric and Forge and is published for game versions 1.12.2 – 26.2, with 24 release versions in total. Because it changes gameplay on the server, the server and every player need it, and the code is not open source. The license is All rights reserved, and source code is publicly available.
