# Skillheim
\n### Passive Character Growth for Minecraft<\/p>\n

![Mod Version](https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/skillheim)
\n![Fabric](https:\/\/fabricmc.net\/)
\n![Forge](https:\/\/files.minecraftforge.net\/)
\n![NeoForge](https:\/\/neoforged.net\/)<\/p>\n

**Bring the satisfying mastery system of Valheim to Minecraft.**
\n*Run faster, jump higher, and hit harder\u2014simply by doing it.*<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \ud83c\udf32 What is Skillheim?
\nSkillheim 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.**<\/p>\n

It operates on a simple philosophy inspired by **Valheim**: *You get better at what you do.*
\n– Want to run faster? **Start sprinting.**
\n– Want to deal more damage with a spear? **Start stabbing.**
\n– Want to lose that progress? **Die.**<\/p>\n

This mod fits naturally into vanilla gameplay, rewarding you for the time you spend surviving, fighting, and exploring.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## Skills & Progression
\nSkillheim tracks your actions and automatically levels up specific stats. All bonuses are passive and stack with your existing gear.<\/p>\n

### Movement & Agility
\n* **Run:** Sprinting gradually increases your base movement speed.
\n* **Jump:** Leaping increases your jump height.
\n* **Swim:** Spending time in water increases your swim speed.
\n* **Sneak:** Crouching improves your stealth capabilities.<\/p>\n

### Combat & Gathering
\n* **Fists:** Punch mobs to increase your unarmed damage (starts with a 10x XP multiplier for quick early gains!).
\n* **Woodcutting & Mining:** Chop trees and break ores to level up your gathering speed.
\n* **Blocking:** Successfully shielding attacks improves your damage reduction.<\/p>\n

### Weapon Mastery
\nSkillheim now supports vanilla weapons **and** modded weapons (like *Simply Swords*) out of the box.
\n* **Standard Weapons:** Swords, Axes, and Bows.
\n* **Light Weapons:** Fast, agile weapons (Daggers, Rapiers, etc).
\n* **Heavy Weapons:** Massive, slow-hitting tools (Claymores, Greataxes).
\n* **Specialized:** Clubs and Spears.<\/p>\n

### Consequences
\nJust like its inspiration, Skillheim makes death meaningful.
\n* **The Death Tax:** Dying isn’t free. You lose **5% of your levels** (configurable) upon death.
\n* **Feedback:** Upon respawning, you will see a chat message detailing exactly which skills suffered amnesia (e.g., *”You feel your memories fade… Run -1, Heavy Weapons -1″*).
\n* **Level Cap:** All skills are capped at **Level 100**, with XP requirements scaling exponentially as you progress.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## Interface
\nSkillheim features a freshly redesigned UI that is clean, intuitive, and beautiful.<\/p>\n

* **Inventory Integration:** A button sits neatly in your inventory. Just look for the **”Skillheim!”** tooltip.
\n* **The Grid System:** Gone is the scrolling list. The new UI features a comprehensive **4×4 Grid**, allowing you to see every single skill, its level, and its progress bar at a glance.
\n* **Instant Feedback:** Receive “Level Up” advancements immediately when you improve a skill.
\n* **Keybind:** Press **`K`** (default) to open the skills menu directly.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## Compatibility
\nSkillheim is now available for **Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge**.<\/p>\n

| Version | Fabric | Forge | NeoForge |
\n| :— | :—: | :—: | :—: |
\n| **1.20.1** | \u2705 | \u2705 | \u274c |

## \u2699\ufe0f Configuration
\nServer owners and modpack makers have full control via `skills.json` or the in-game **Mod Menu** config screen.
\n* **XP Multipliers:** Adjust the learning speed for every individual skill.
\n* **Death Penalty:** Change the percentage of levels lost on death (Default: `0.05`). Set it to `0.0` for casual play, or `1.0` for hardcore pain.
