Skillbound-RPG
Skillbound-RPG turns Minecraft into a Runescape-inspired progression game, with level 1 to 99 skills that advance through combat, gathering and crafting.
What it does
Skillbound-RPG gives each player skills that persist across play and climb from level 1 to 99 on an RPG-style experience curve, with progress saved along the way. Players earn experience by gathering, crafting and fighting, and skill levels gate stronger equipment, recipes, abilities and enemies. Melee combat is split across three independently trained skills, and each player picks a combat style that sets how combat experience is distributed. Attack, for example, improves accuracy.
The mod also brings Slayer assignments issued by Slayer masters, which build a streak and award Slayer points, along with a glyph-based magic system drawing on Runic Essence, and a prayer ability system with its own interface. Gathering and crafting gain new progression tiers, and equipment requirements, new resources and bosses connect these systems together.
Installation requires Fabric. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric only, across six game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and the latest file is 0.5.0 for 1.20.6. The code is released under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
