SkillsMod
SkillsMod gives players upgradeable skills that raise or lower individual player attributes, such as attack damage, movement speed and max health.
What it does
Each skill is a separate attribute that a player can level up. Skills cover combat, movement, mining and survival, and the list includes damage dealt in melee, the force of a hit, how fast strikes land, and how quickly blocks break. A player sees the current value of each skill and the effect it has on play.
The mod is built on Fabric and works in Minecraft 1.21.5 – 1.21.8. Its files are released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so the code is open source and can be read in its public repository. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
Key features
Upgradeable skills
Skills can be raised over time, so a player's character develops as the world is played.
Combat and movement attributes
Attack damage, attack speed, knockback resistance, movement speed and sneaking speed can each be adjusted.
Mining and interaction range
Block break speed, submerged mining speed, block interaction range and entity interaction range are all upgradeable.
Survival attributes
Max health, fall damage protection, safe fall distance, oxygen bonus and reduced burning time are included.
Current skill display
A player can check the current skills and their values at any time, so progress is visible without a command.

How it compares
AttributeRPGfied is a Fabric mod for 1.21.4 – 1.21.5 with the same client and server environment, but it is not open source and is released under the MIT License. Attack Range Attribute is an open source Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that also runs on client and server and is released under the MIT License. No Knockback Resistance is server-side only and covers 1.21 – 26.3, so players join without installing it.
