Skillheim

Passive Character Growth for Minecraft

Mod Version Fabric

Bring the satisfying mastery system of Valheim to Minecraft. Run faster, jump higher, and hit harder—simply by doing it.

🌲 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 Valheim: You get better at what you do.

  • Want to run faster? Start sprinting.
  • Want to deal more damage? Start swinging.
  • Want to lose that progress? Die.

This mod is designed to fit naturally into vanilla gameplay, rewarding you for the time you spend surviving and building your world.

⚔️ Skills & Progression

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

🏃 Movement & Agility

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

🔨 Combat & Gathering

  • Fists: Punch mobs to increase your unarmed damage (starts with a 10x XP multiplier for quick early gains!).
  • Woodcutting & Mining: Chop trees and break ores to level up your gathering speed.
  • Swords / Axes / Bows: Dealing damage with specific weapons grants small damage bonuses.
  • Blocking: Successfully shielding attacks improves your damage reduction.

💀 The Consequences

Just like its inspiration, Skillheim makes death meaningful.

  • The Death Tax: Dying isn't free. You lose 5% of your levels (configurable) upon death.
  • Feedback: Upon respawning, you will see a chat message detailing exactly which skills suffered amnesia (e.g., "You feel your memories fade... Run -1, Jump -1").
  • Level Cap: All skills are capped at Level 100, with XP requirements scaling exponentially as you progress.

🖥️ The Interface

Skillheim features a clean, unobtrusive UI designed to feel native to the game.

  • Inventory Integration: A reactive Skill Button sits neatly in your inventory. Hover over the sword icon then click to view your stats.
  • The "K" Menu: Alternatively, press K (default keybind) to open the scrollable skill list directly.
  • Visual Clarity: See your exact level (0-100), XP progress bars, and active/inactive skill states at a glance.
  • Instant Feedback: Receive "Level Up" advancements immediately when you improve a skill.

⚙️ Configuration

Server owners and modpack makers have full control via skills.json or the in-game Mod Menu config screen.

  • XP Multipliers: Adjust the learning speed for every individual skill. Want players to learn Swimming 5x faster? You can do that.
  • Death Penalty: Change the percentage of levels lost on death (Default: 0.05). Set it to 0.0 for a casual experience, or 1.0 for hardcore pain.
  • Commands: Admins can reload the config instantly in-game using /skills reload.

🔌 Compatibility & Future Plans

Skillheim is built to be lightweight and compatible with most Fabric mods.

Current Support:

  • ✔ Better Combat: Placeholder skills (Clubs, Knives, Spears) are already registered for future integration.

Roadmap:

  • [ ] Clubs & Spears: specific skills for modded weapons.
