What it does

Skillable is a continuation of the Reskillable and Skillable mods for newer Minecraft versions. Players gain experience and spend it on eight skills, and each skill level opens or restricts what the player can do. Locks can cover breaking and placing blocks, using items and wearing Curios, mounting entities, attacking entities and crafting items. Each lock is defined in a list, and the same format is used for attack and craft locks, so a server owner can gate a specific item or entity until a given skill requirement is met.

Levelling up can change what becomes available, depending on the config. Lock lists are read from the config files, and the skill lock setup is only noticed after a game restart, so changes made while the game is running need a restart before they take effect. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.18, 1.18.1 and 1.18.2, with 1.4.5 for 1.18.2 as the latest file. Skillable needs no other mod, and it is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Eight skills

    Experience points are spent to raise one of eight skills, and each level grants access to different content.

  2. Lock lists in config

    Skill locks are defined as entries in config lists, and a new one is registered by putting a string into the skillLocks list.

  3. Attack and craft locks

    Separate attackSkillLocks and craftSkillLocks lists restrict which entities can be attacked and which items can be crafted until a requirement is met.

  4. Block, item and mount locks

    Locks can gate breaking and placing blocks, using items, wearing Curios and mounting entities, with examples such as an ender pearl requiring magic level 5.

Use cases

Progression on a server

A server owner can require players to level a skill before using certain items or entering a fight, which sets a pace for progression.

Who it’s for: Server owners and modpack authors who want to control progression through skill levels, and players who want skill-based restrictions in a survival world.

Questions

Does the server need Skillable?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Do config changes apply without a restart?

No. Skill lock changes are only noticed after the game restarts, so the game has to be restarted after editing the lock lists.
