Description

GroundZero Skills — Character Progression & Specialization

GroundZero Skills is a configurable RPG progression mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge, featuring character leveling, branching skill trees, specialized abilities, crafting restrictions, and medical gameplay.

Develop your character by earning XP through survival activities, unlocking new skills, and specializing in different professions. Server owners can customize progression, skill costs, rewards, prerequisites, and gameplay restrictions through JSON configuration files.

Server Setup

Install GroundZero Skills on both the server and connecting clients.

The following configuration files are automatically generated on first launch:

Progression and balancing:

Skill trees and unlocks:

config/groundzero-skills/skills/trees.json

The configuration files are generated automatically, and progression is managed locally through Minecraft's integrated server.

The mod is designed to provide flexible RPG progression for both standalone modded worlds and larger multiplayer survival communities.
