Skill Proficiencies

Do things, get better at them. Fifteen skills level from 0 to 100 through ordinary vanilla play — mine, chop, fight, brew, enchant — and every level passively makes you better at that same activity. mcMMO spirit, vanilla-plus rules: no new ores, no gated gear, and every bonus stacks additively with your enchantments (a Fortune II pickaxe at Mining 60 digs like Fortune V).

No wiki needed — every skill tells you exactly what trains it and what it currently gives you:

Details

• Multiplayer-ready — all skill logic is server-authoritative; progress is per-player and survives death and restarts.
• Configurable — skill modifiers are editable (Mod Menu + Cloth Config supported, plain JSON without them).
• Feedback during gameplay — a skill XP bar above the vanilla XP bar for your held tool, advancement-style level-up notifications.
• For mod developers — register your own skills through the specialities:skills entrypoint and the engine gives them the same XP curve, HUD and skills-screen row as built-ins. See the architecture docs.
