NavNeit Engine
by NavNeit
NavNeit Engine is a Fabric RPG expansion that adds stats, skills, jobs and mob scaling to survival play, for 1.21.1.
What it does
A character can be developed through a dedicated stats system, so later progression lets a player build a stronger, more specialized style for surviving and exploring. A separate skills system adds a second layer of progression beyond vanilla, giving players long-term goals and a reason to keep developing the character.
Jobs are chosen by the activities a player performs and steer development toward different playstyles. Mob scaling raises the strength of monsters as progression increases, so combat stays challenging and the game does not become trivial once a player grows strong. Several systems work together, aiming for a deeper survival experience than better equipment alone provides.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, with a single 1.0.0 build in the alpha channel. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License.
