Perk Up

Stats in Perk Up grow as the player eats food. Each food progress bar fills while eating, and when it is full one contributing stat is picked by chance, with higher contributors more likely, and raised by one level. The bar then resets, and its capacity depends on the highest stat, so raising stats evenly keeps the system balanced. The Character screen gathers stats, skills and passive effects in one place, with a Stats panel, a Skills panel where XP is spent to raise each skill, and a Perks panel for buying and equipping perks.

Perks are bought with XP and then equipped. At the start of a game only one perk can be equipped, and the perk capacity grows as the Constitution and Insight stats improve. Equipped perks can be swapped at any time by clicking them. Dying costs the player a small share of each stat and skill, which is mild early on and can be severe at higher levels. The XP cost of skills and the food stat properties can be changed through the config file.

Perk Up is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.1, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
