Smooth Progression

What if Minecraft had a proper RPG progression system?

Not just collecting experience and enchanting your gear, but actually growing stronger as you explore, fight, level up, and develop your own character.

That's where Smooth Progression comes in!

Smooth Progression brings an RPG-inspired leveling system to Minecraft, turning your adventures into a journey of character growth. Earn experience from defeating enemies, reach new levels, unlock skill points, and shape your playstyle through a Skill Tree.

Want to become a powerful warrior, master a magical profession, or evolve into something entirely different? Your progression is part of the adventure.

And of course, every level deserves a little celebration. Enjoy Minecraft-style advancement toasts and satisfying challenge sounds whenever you level up!

Features

Level Up Your Adventure

Defeat enemies, earn experience, and progress through a dedicated character-leveling system.

Every new level brings you closer to unlocking more of your character's potential.

Build Your Own Playstyle

Progress through the Skill Tree and spend your skill points to develop your character.

Choose your path, explore different classes and professions, and work toward the evolutions available through your installed skill and class mods.

A Little Celebration for Every Level

Leveling up should feel rewarding!

Smooth Progression displays a Minecraft-style advancement toast showing your newly reached level, complete with the familiar challenge sound.

No unnecessary chat spam. Just a satisfying reminder that you're getting stronger.

Enemies That Grow With Your Journey

Exploration becomes more challenging as you venture farther into the world.

• Mob levels scale based on distance and dimension.
• Elite enemies offer tougher encounters.
• Enemy health and combat attributes scale with their level.
• Experience rewards scale with progression.

The farther you explore, the more prepared you'll want to be.

Bosses Worth Preparing For

Boss encounters have their own progression settings, including configurable levels, health scaling, and level-based combat penalties.

You can challenge a boss early, but going in underleveled comes with consequences.

Make It Your Own

Smooth Progression is configurable, allowing modpack creators to customize leveling, enemy scaling, elite encounters, and boss progression.

Whether you're building a long RPG adventure or a challenging exploration modpack, you can adjust the experience to fit your world.

Requirements

Smooth Progression is designed for Minecraft 1.20.1 — Fabric.

Required mods:

• Fabric API
• Puffish Skills
• Cloth Config API
• Spell Engine
• Spell Power Attributes
• Simply Skills

Install compatible Minecraft 1.20.1 Fabric versions of these dependencies.

Configuration

Customize your progression experience through the mod's configuration files.

• mob_scaling.json — Mob levels, dimension scaling, elite enemies, and combat attributes.
• boss_scaling.json — Boss levels, health scaling, combat penalties, and experience rewards.

Additional progression settings allow you to adjust the leveling experience to suit your modpack.

Made for Smooth Odyssey

Smooth Progression was originally created for my modpack, Smooth Odyssey, an RPG-inspired Minecraft adventure built around exploration, progression, and character development.

I wanted a leveling system that would make every adventure feel meaningful while keeping the experience smooth and enjoyable.

That's also why both projects share the name Smooth.

Will my future mods have Smooth in their names too? Probably. I don't even know why I started calling everything Smooth.

Maybe because Fabric is smooth? :3

Either way, this is just the beginning of the Smooth journey.
