Respec Skill
Respec Skill lets server players reset, reallocate and prestige their skill points through a menu, a craftable scroll or a skill altar.
What it does
Respec Skill runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. A player types a respec command to open a clickable menu listing the server's skill categories. Choosing one resets its points, returns some experience, and lets the player spend the points again. Requirements are configurable: a minimum total of skill points, a minimum level in the category, a cooldown between uses, and an item cost taken from the inventory.
Prestige moves a category into another one in a one-way step. The source category is erased and its experience carries over to the target at a configured factor. Prestige paths are set in the same configuration file, and the menu shows them as clickable links at the bottom of the output. Categories are discovered automatically once they load, so new skill trees appear in the respec menu without extra setup.
Respec Skill requires Fabric API and Pufferfish's Skills. Files are published for Fabric only, with builds covering 1.21 – 26.1.2. The latest file, 2.0.0, targets 26.1.2 and was published on 2026-05-28. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source. Public links to the source and the issue tracker exist.

Server-side mod. Players type /respec to open a clickable menu of every Puffish skill category on the server; each costs a configurable item. Categories are auto-discovered, so no setup is needed to support new skill trees. If all pass, the item is consumed, the category is erased, and a fraction of the previous XP…
