Description

VanillaSkills

A server-side skill-tree & progression overhaul for Minecraft 26.2 (Fabric) — vanilla clients welcome.

Play this mod live! Join The Official Community server — running this and all our other custom mods. Vanilla clients welcome, no mods required: JoBros.mcserver.us.

VanillaSkills runs entirely on the server. Players can join with a completely vanilla client and still get the full experience; install the optional resource pack (or the mod itself) to see the custom gear textures.

Features

  • Per-player skill tree — a chest-GUI tree (/skill) with 15 lanes: Vitality, Fleet Foot, Prospector, Fortune Finder, Warrior, Guardian, Reach, Mountaineer, Aquatic, Evasion, Cultivator, Brewmaster, Armorsmith, Toolsmith, and a Night Vision capstone.
  • Two currencies — earn Skill Shards from advancements (unfarmable, one-time) to buy skill lanes, and Quest Shards from the bounty board to spend in the Quest Shop or on the crafting ladders.
  • Bounty board & Quest Shop — an optional floating notice board with rotating bounties; spend Quest Shards in a rotating shop or convert them into Skill Shards. Use /Quests if you do not place a board.
  • Five gear tiers — Hardwood, Rose Gold, Steel, Crystalline, and Dragon — each with set bonuses, sitting between the vanilla tiers. Crafting each tier is gated behind the Armorsmith/Toolsmith ladders.
  • Steel is forged in an anvil — drop a plain iron ingot in each input slot to forge a Steel Ingot.
  • Ender Dragon material chain — Dragon Scales → Dragon Ingot → Dragon gear (smithing), plus an Elytra-into-Dragon-chestplate combine.
  • Steel-Infused Shield, stacking/longer potions, craftable Fortune IV/V, optional Mending removal, and more.

Configuration (per-world, no cheats)

Settings live in each world save (<world>/vanillaskills/), so every world can have its own. Edit the JSON directly, or — with Mod Menu installed client-side — use the in-game config screen:

  • Mending on/off
  • Bounty-board & Quest Shop refresh intervals
  • Quest → Skill Shard convert ratio
  • Quests required to graduate to the main bounty board
  • Skill-point earning rates (points.json)

Client keybinds (optional)

Players who install the mod on their client get rebindable keys (Options → Controls → VanillaSkills) to open the Skill Tree (default ]) and Bounty Board (default [). Vanilla clients simply use the commands.

Requirements

  • Minecraft 26.2, Fabric Loader ≥ 0.19.3
  • Fabric API ≥ 0.152.1+26.2 (required)
  • Optional: Mod Menu — for the in-game config screen

Textures

Custom textures are bundled in the mod jar — if you install the mod, you see the art automatically. For vanilla clients on a server, serve the separate VanillaSkills Texture Pack via server.properties (resource-pack= / require-resource-pack=true). Or the Texture pack linked below.

Commands

/skill (open the tree), /skill guide, /quests (or /bounty), plus op tools: /skill layout (rearrange lanes), /skill editor (edit nodes), /skill reload, /skill regen [fresh], /quests board, and more (/help admin).
