Skill Config

Every skill — built-in or added by an addon — writes its default settings to the common config on first run. You can then override any field. The config is powered by CoolerConfig and stored as JSON5 at:

config/experienceskills/experienceskills.json5

The file is on the common side, so it applies to both client and server. On a dedicated server, edit it there.

Addon skills

Skills added by other authors may or may not read these config values. If a built-in skill misbehaves, report it here; if an addon skill does, report it to that addon's author.

Fields

Each skill is a block of the following fields:

Field	Type	Description
enabled	boolean	Whether the skill is active. A disabled skill awards no experience and its attribute bonus is removed.
incrementPerLevel	float	How much the attribute changes per level, applied via operation. With add_multiplied_base, 0.02 means +2% of the base value per level. May be negative.
xpAwardActionCount	int	How far the driving stat must advance before an award fires — e.g. 100 for 100 block_walked.
xpPointToAward	int	Experience points granted each time xpAwardActionCount is reached.
rgbColor	int	Colour of the experience orb and HUD bar, as a packed RGB integer (0xFF0000 / 16711680 is red).
operation	enum	How the bonus combines with the attribute: add_value, add_multiplied_base or add_multiplied_total.
maxLevel	int	The level cap. Once reached, the skill stops awarding experience.
stat	string	The stat that drives the skill (see Stats). Built-ins include experienceskills:block_walked, experienceskills:block_broken, experienceskills:entity_killed; vanilla custom stats such as minecraft:jump also work.

Example

A slice of the config for the Strength skill:

{
  // ...
  "strength": {
    "xpAwardActionCount": 20,
    "rgbColor": 16733525,
    "maxLevel": 100,
    "stat": "experienceskills:entity_killed",
    "incrementPerLevel": 0.02,
    "xpPointToAward": 5,
    "operation": "add_multiplied_base",
    "enabled": true
  },
}

Common Tweaks

• Slow a skill down / speed it up. Raise or lower xpAwardActionCount (more actions per award) or xpPointToAward (points granted per award).
• Make a buff stronger. Raise incrementPerLevel, or switch a flat add_value skill to add_multiplied_base for percentage scaling.
• Disable a skill entirely. Set enabled to false — its bonus is removed and it stops awarding experience.
• Re-colour the bar/orb. Change rgbColor. Decimal or 0x hex both work.

Units

xpAwardActionCount is in the stat's raw units. Distances are centimetres (100 = a block) and damage is tenths of a heart (10 = one heart). See Stats → Mind the units.
