Player: Level UP skills
by Wekston
Player: Level UP skills adds a leveling menu that lets a player spend experience on upgrades, with movement and dodge mechanics tied to the chosen levels.
What it does
A leveling menu in the mod lists the upgrades a player can buy. The cost of each upgrade depends on the player's current level, so an upgrade gets more expensive as the level rises. Each upgrade has minimum and maximum values, and the maximum level of 200 is tied to an upgrade maximum of 50.
The mod changes movement and combat. Dodging is a beta mechanic: the more often a player dodges, the more likely the player is to take damage. Players who use the menu can shape how the character moves and fights over the course of a survival, adventure or multiplayer world.
The mod is for Forge only. Its files cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and both the server and every player need it, because the leveling and movement rules run on both sides. The code is open source under the MIT License, and public source code is available.
Key features
Leveling menu
A menu screen shows the upgrades and lets the player spend experience on them.
Level-based upgrade cost
The experience needed for an upgrade grows with the player's level, so higher upgrades take more effort.
Minimum and maximum values
Each upgrade has a defined minimum and maximum, with the maximum level set at 200 and the upgrade maximum at 50.
Movement and dodging
New movement rules apply, and dodging raises the chance of taking damage. The dodging mechanic is still in beta.

Use cases
Survival progression
Players who want a reason to keep gathering experience can use the upgrades as long-term goals in a survival world.
Multiplayer servers
Server owners can run the leveling system for every player, since the server and each client both need the mod.
Who it’s for: Players who want a skill system with upgrade costs that scale with level, and server owners who want the same progression rules for all players on Forge.
How it compares
More Skills is also a Forge mod for 1.20.1, with client and server environment and the MIT License, but it is not open source. DALeveling - Solo Leveling Mod is client-side only for 1.20.1 and released under All rights reserved, so it changes nothing on a server. RPGSlk is another Forge option for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, and it needs the client and server like this mod.
