Player Skills

Other mods build on it, such as Item Skills, Block Skills, Mob Skills, Dimension Skills and Fluid Skills, which all require it. The library supplies a baseline implementation of player-specific skills and is kept deliberately unopinionated, so a pack can shape the system to its own purposes. Skills come in several kinds: basic skills are simple true or false flags, numeric skills hold integer values such as 0, 1 or 2, and tiered or specialized skills use numeric strings. A specialization skill lets a player choose one or more specializations from a list, for example a magic type.

Each skill is tracked as data attached to a player and is saved in the player's NBT data, so skill values persist across sessions. A skill type handles the logic for managing the skills tied to it, including how the skill is serialized into a persistent format and what threshold counts as sufficient for an action. Architectury API is required. CraftTweaker, Just Enough Items (JEI), KubeJS and Roughly Enough Items (REI) are optional, and skills are exposed through KubeJS so modpack authors can read and change them. Player Skills runs on client and server, and its source code is available under the MIT License, so it is open source.
