Lukas' Weapon Leveling

by GekidoLukas

Lukas' Weapon Leveling lets weapons and armor gain levels from combat and anvil use, and keeps items from disappearing when they break.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.18.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

Weapons and armor gain levels by killing monsters and bosses, and by repairing them at an anvil with their material. Bows, crossbows and tridents are included. The mod can be configured through datapacks, the config file, or the LevelingAPI for other mods that want to hook into it.

Two commands are provided: /itemlevel sets or adds levels and points for a player's held item, and /print tag list lists the tags of an item or entity. Built-in support for some weapon types was removed in favour of addons, which the author says allows faster and more precise updates. The mod requires Architectury API and Fabric API on Fabric, and runs on client and server. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, under All rights reserved and not open source.

Key features

  1. Combat-based leveling

    Weapons and armor gain experience from defeating monsters and bosses during play.

  2. Anvil progression

    Items can be leveled at an anvil using their own material as the input.

  3. Unbreakable items

    Items do not disappear when they break, so progress on a weapon is kept.

  4. Ranged weapon support

    Bows, crossbows and tridents take part in the leveling system like melee weapons.

  5. Level commands

    /itemlevel changes a player's item level, and /print tag list shows the tags on an item or entity.

Questions

Which loader does Lukas' Weapon Leveling need for NeoForge?

The NeoForge build for 1.21.1 is a beta file published on 2026-09-12. Forge has its own file for 1.20.1, so the two loaders do not share one build.

Does the mod need to be installed on the server?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Which dependencies must be installed with it?

Architectury API and Fabric API are required. Both must be present for the mod to load on Fabric.
