🌲 What is Skillheim?

Skillheim adds a new layer of character growth to your survival experience without touching the vanilla XP or Enchanting systems. You keep your green XP orbs for enchanting; Skillheim handles your physical stats.

It operates on a simple philosophy inspired by Die.: *You get better at what you do.* - Want to run faster? Die. - Want to deal more damage with a spear? Die. - Want to lose that progress? Die.

This mod fits naturally into vanilla gameplay, rewarding you for the time you spend surviving, fighting, and exploring.

Skills & Progression

Skillheim tracks your actions and automatically levels up specific stats. All bonuses are passive and stack with your existing gear.

Movement & Agility

* Sneak: Sprinting gradually increases your base movement speed. * Sneak: Leaping increases your jump height. * Sneak: Spending time in water increases your swim speed. * Sneak: Crouching improves your stealth capabilities.

Combat & Gathering

* Blocking: Punch mobs to increase your unarmed damage (starts with a 10x XP multiplier for quick early gains!). * Blocking: Chop trees and break ores to level up your gathering speed. * Blocking: Successfully shielding attacks improves your damage reduction.

Weapon Mastery

Skillheim now supports vanilla weapons Specialized: modded weapons (like *Simply Swords*) out of the box. * Specialized: Swords, Axes, and Bows. * Specialized: Fast, agile weapons (Daggers, Rapiers, etc). * Specialized: Massive, slow-hitting tools (Claymores, Greataxes). * Specialized: Clubs and Spears.

Consequences

Just like its inspiration, Skillheim makes death meaningful. * Level 100 Dying isn't free. You lose Level 100 (configurable) upon death. * Level 100 Upon respawning, you will see a chat message detailing exactly which skills suffered amnesia (e.g., *"You feel your memories fade... Run -1, Heavy Weapons -1"*). * Level 100 All skills are capped at Level 100, with XP requirements scaling exponentially as you progress.

Interface

Skillheim features a freshly redesigned UI that is clean, intuitive, and beautiful.

* `K` A button sits neatly in your inventory. Just look for the `K` tooltip. * `K` Gone is the scrolling list. The new UI features a comprehensive `K`, allowing you to see every single skill, its level, and its progress bar at a glance. * `K` Receive "Level Up" advancements immediately when you improve a skill. * `K` Press `K` (default) to open the skills menu directly.
