Pufferfish's Skills InventoryWeight

Pufferfish's Skills InventoryWeight is a server-side add-on that connects MT Inventory Weight with Pufferfish's Skills.

It lets a player's skill progression increase their maximum inventory weight capacity, in two ways:

1. Attribute reward (data-driven) — a skill node grants the Inventory Weight attribute directly. No Java needed; this is how the bundled "Carrying" tree works.
2. Java event connector — the add-on reads a skill category's experience level and modifies max weight through MT Inventory Weight's event.

It also ships an optional, built-in "Carrying" skill tree you can enable per world.

This mod is not standalone.

Required Dependencies

• MT Inventory Weight — provides com.megatrex4.api.v1
• Pufferfish's Skills (puffish_skills)
• fzzy_config (config)
• Fabric API + Fabric Loader

Pufferfish's Skills is server-authoritative for skill levels, so this add-on runs on the server. It works for both an integrated server (single player / Open to LAN) and a dedicated server.

The Inventory Weight attribute

MT Inventory Weight registers a vanilla-style attribute:

inventoryweight:generic.max_weight

Pufferfish's Skills can grant any registered attribute via its puffish_skills:attribute reward, so a skill node can grant max weight directly.

1. Attribute reward (data-driven, no Java)

In a category's definitions.json, a skill definition lists rewards. Point a puffish_skills:attribute reward at inventoryweight:generic.max_weight:

{
    "type": "puffish_skills:attribute",
    "data": {
        "attribute": "inventoryweight:generic.max_weight",
        "value": 200.0,
        "operation": "addition"
    }
}

Prefer addition. If the attribute base is 0, multiply_* operations may have little or no effect.

2. Java event connector (level-based scaling)

The add-on listens to MT Inventory Weight's max-weight event:

InventoryWeightEvents.MODIFY_MAX_WEIGHT

and scales capacity by a skill category's experience level, read via Pufferfish's SkillsAPI (Category.getExperience().getLevel(player)). See the config below.

If a node grants the attribute (path 1) AND you scale the same value by level (path 2), the bonuses stack.

Built-in "Carrying" skill tree

The mod bundles an optional Pufferfish category, carrying:

• Registered as a Fabric built-in datapack at resourcepacks/carrying/ in the jar, so it shows up in the world-creation Data Packs screen, disabled by default.
• Nodes grant inventoryweight:generic.max_weight (flat and percent), with a small movement-speed node and a capstone.
• Earns experience from mining blocks and crafting items.
• The strong percent/mobility nodes are placed deeper in the tree, gated behind several flat nodes.

Enable it:

• New world → Create World → Data Packs → move "Carrying Skill Tree" to the active side, or
• Existing world → /datapack list, then /datapack enable "<id>".

Open the skills screen (default key K) to see the Carrying category.

Default pack vs. your own pack (modpack devs / server admins)

You are not locked into the bundled tree:

1. Use the default — enable the built-in "Carrying Skill Tree" pack. No files needed.
2. Override it — ship a datapack that redefines the carrying category under the puffish_skills namespace. A later-loaded pack overrides the built-in files (last pack wins per file). Keep the built-in pack disabled to avoid mixing.
3. Add a separate tree — define a NEW category with a different id (and your own namespace) and leave the built-in carrying off. Cleanest for modpacks: no conflicts.

Whichever pack's config.json wins must list every category you want loaded.

Configuration (Java event path)

Synced server config via fzzy_config:

config/pufferfishs-skills-inventoryweight/server-config.*

General

category (default on)

Scales by one configured category's experience level.

totalLevel (default off)

Scales by the sum of all categories' experience levels.

Formula

result = (currentMaxWeight + additive) * multiplier
result = max(minimumMaxWeight, result)

currentMaxWeight is the value MT Inventory Weight already computed, so this stacks with the base config, armor pockets, and other Inventory Weight add-ons.

Example

Base max weight:            100
category level (adventure):  10
category.multiplierPerLevel: 0.05

multiplier = 1 + 10 * 0.05 = 1.5
result     = (100 + 0) * 1.5 = 150

Notes

• A category contributes 0 if it doesn't exist or has no experience source.
• Negative config values are clamped to neutral.
• Find category ids in your Pufferfish's Skills datapack/config (the puffish_skills:<id>).
• The built-in tree is NORMAL (off by default); enable it in the Data Packs screen.

Troubleshooting

• A skill grants no weight — confirm the attribute id is exactly inventoryweight:generic.max_weight, prefer operation: addition, and reset the skill after editing a reward so the modifier reapplies.
• Built-in tree missing — it's disabled by default; enable it. Check the log for Registered built-in 'carrying' datapack: true.
• pack.mcmeta won't load — the description must be strict JSON (no smart quotes / trailing commas).
• Unknown variable 'true' in experience.json — conditions must reference a defined variable; for unconditional XP use a bare string like "experience": "1".
