Skills ​

Experience Skills ships with 18 built-in skills. Each one is trained by a stat and applies a bonus to a single attribute as it levels. The values below are the defaults, read straight from the mod. Every one of them can be changed per skill in the config.

All built-in skills cap at level 100 and award 5 XP each time their stat advances by the listed amount. Attributes marked custom are added by Experience Skills itself because vanilla has nothing matching; see Attributes.

Level calculator ​

Pick a skill and drag the slider to see the bonus at that level and how much of its stat it takes to get there. Skills level on the same curve as vanilla XP, so the early levels come quickly and each later one costs more.

Skill details ​

Movement ​

  • Walking Speed Experience Bottle Walking Speed trains as you move on land. Walking, sprinting and crouching distance are pooled together. Raises Movement Speed.
  • Jump Experience Bottle Jump trains from the vanilla Jumps statistic and raises Jump Strength. It also raises your Safe Fall Distance to match the extra height, so a jump from flat ground never hurts you.
  • Swim Speed Experience Bottle Swim Speed trains from distance moved on, under or through water. Raises the custom Swim Speed attribute.
  • Oxygen Experience Bottle Oxygen trains from time spent underwater and adds to Oxygen Bonus, so you can hold your breath longer.

Combat ​

  • Strength Experience Bottle Strength trains from mobs and players killed. Raises Attack Damage.
  • Entity Reach Experience Bottle Entity Reach trains from mobs and players killed. Raises Entity Interaction Range, so you can hit from further away.
  • Vitality Experience Bottle Vitality trains from damage taken. Raises Max Health.
  • Toughness Experience Bottle Toughness trains from damage taken. Raises Armor Toughness.

Mining ​

  • Pickaxe Breaking Speed Experience Bottle Shovel Breaking Speed Experience Bottle Axe Breaking Speed Experience Bottle Hoe Breaking Speed Experience Bottle Pickaxe, Shovel, Axe and Hoe Breaking Speed each train from blocks broken with that tool, when it is the correct tool for the block. Each one raises mining speed with that tool only.
  • Mining Luck Experience Bottle Mining Luck trains from ores mined and adds extra drops to every ore you break: +1 item every 5 levels, up to +20 at level 100.
  • Submerged Breaking Speed Experience Bottle Submerged Breaking Speed trains from blocks broken while in water. Raises the vanilla Submerged Mining Speed attribute, which softens the slowdown for mining underwater.
  • Floating Breaking Speed Experience Bottle Floating Breaking Speed trains from blocks broken while you are not standing on the ground. It eases the ×5 slowdown vanilla applies to mining in mid-air, until at level 100 there is none.
  • Block Reach Experience Bottle Block Reach trains from damage taken. Raises Block Interaction Range, so you can reach blocks further away.

Fishing ​

  • Fishing Speed Experience Bottle Fishing Speed trains from time spent with a line cast. Raises the custom Lure Speed attribute, which works like extra levels of Lure.
  • Fishing Luck Experience Bottle Fishing Luck trains from catches reeled in. Raises the custom Fishing Luck attribute, which works like extra levels of Luck of the Sea.

The vanilla entry ​

Alongside the real skills there is a special vanilla entry. It is not an earnable skill. It exists only so the HUD can cycle back to the ordinary vanilla experience bar. It never appears in the config, awards no experience, and is left out of the API's list of skills.
