Runes & Ruins Skills

Runes & Ruins Skills

A passive skill tree for NeoForge 1.21.1. Earn experience, gain skill points and grow your character along the paths you choose. Built for the Runes & Ruins modpack and usable in any pack.

Press O to open the tree.

Features

• Skill points from experience: every bit of XP you collect counts, even XP you later spend on enchanting or the anvil. Each point costs a little more than the last.
• A big default tree: 201 skills in four branches (Warrior, Mage, Explorer, Guardian), each with three lanes that end in a powerful keystone with a drawback. Hybrid lanes on the diagonals join neighbouring branches.
• Real attribute bonuses: health, armor, damage, attack speed, movement, mining, luck and more, applied as normal attribute modifiers.
• Mod support out of the box: the default tree has lanes for Iron’s Spells ‘n Spellbooks, Ars Nouveau, Apothic Attributes and Combat Roll. Bonuses for mods that are not installed are skipped.
• Draggable, zoomable tree with a stats panel that sums up all your bonuses, glowing nodes you can learn right now, and tooltips that show every bonus.
• Free respec: the reset button refunds every point (click twice to confirm).
• Kept through death and synced in multiplayer.
• Toast and sound when you earn a new point.
• Translations: interface in English and Lithuanian; skill texts per language from config/rrskills/lang/<language>.json.

For pack makers

The tree is one file: config/rrskills/skills.json. On the first start the mod writes its default tree there; edit it or replace it with your own.

{
  "points": {"base": 60, "step": 2},
  "nodes": [
    {
      "id": "origin", "x": 0, "y": 0, "type": "notable", "root": true,

}

• points: the first point costs base XP, every further point costs step more.
• type: small, notable or keystone (only changes the look).
• root: nodes that can be learned without a neighbour. Every other node needs a learned linked node; links work both ways.
• bonuses: any registered attribute, with add_value, add_multiplied_base or add_multiplied_total.
• title and description can be plain text or per language, e.g. {"en_us": "...", "de_de": "..."}.
