Player Skills

Player Skills

A library mod that provides a baseline implementation of player-specific skills. On its own, this does very little as it
is meant to be as un-opinionated as possible.

Like GameStages and GamePhases, this provides a registry for tracking possible skills as well what skills a given player
currently possesses. Unlike the other mods, skills are added to a player immediately and leverage ability checking via
Skill Types.

Concepts

This mod provides two entities that can be extended: Skill Types and Skills.

Skill Type

A skill type handles all logic around managing skills tied to its type. That includes providing a way to (de)serialize
the skill into a persistent format. More advanced use cases can leverage the skill type for determining if a skill is of
a sufficient threshold. Because of this nature, skill types cannot be created via KubeJS.

Builtin Types

1. Basic provides a simple boolean true/false. Great for simple skills such as “can read.”
2. Numeric provides an integer value (0, 1, 2, etc). Great for skills or attributes which can be improved such as ” strength.”
3. Tiered are specialized version of Numeric in that strings can be used. One example could be “education” education (crude/primary, basic/secondary, intermediate/university, advanced/postgraduate, top/doctorate).
4. Specialization provide a skill which allows one or more specializations out of a list. An example is “magic type” ( red, black, white, green, blue).

Skill

A skill tracks the data needed for SKill Types to calculate if a player _can_ perform a skill-based action. Skills get
serialized and persisted in player-specific NBT data. Skills are exposed via KubeJS for modpack authors to manipulate as
they see fit. This mod provides no built-in skills, as we want to encourage modpacks and other mods to provide that
shape.

Restriction

A restrictions handles the logic for determining if a player has an ability based on the set condition, current
dimension, and current biome. It may also provide a replacement to the target resource. Like Skills, we provide no
restrictions here. The other xSkills mods implements restrictions for many vanilla elements.
