RPG_SkillPower
by Nora5
RPG_SkillPower adds a SkillPower resource with its own regeneration and attributes, so spells can draw on SP alone or on both SP and Mana.
What it does
SkillPower, abbreviated SP, is a separate resource that players spend when casting spells from the Spell Engine. Its regeneration is tied to attacks: each attack restores SP, and the amount is set by an attribute value that works like the regeneration attribute in RPGMana. Most of the content lives in the attribute system rather than in new items or blocks, and the mechanic is the central addition.
Each spell can be given a dedicated SP cost, assigned in the rpgsp/server.json5 configuration file by listing the spell and its value. Spells that should consume only SP instead of Mana can be placed on a blacklist in the same file, which takes a regex array matching the spell identifiers. The mod requires RPGMana, which lets a spell consume both Mana and SP at the same time. The mod was developed from RPGMana's code with credit to its author, and it has been tested alongside RPGMana with further features planned.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code publicly available. The current file is 1.0.4 for 1.20.1, dated 2025-03-20, after a first release on 2025-02-27.

What the author says
Similar to the RPGMana,This mod adds a bunch of attributes related to SkillPower, including "SkillPower Regen", "SkillPower Cost" and "Sp regen per attack". Compared to RPGMana,This mod doesn't have much content, with its core mechanic being that players can restore SP equal to the "Sp regen per attack" attribute…
