CraftLevel

Craft Level is a highly configurable RPG progression mod for Minecraft Forge. It levels players and mobs, scales combat through JSON, and adds economy, skills, Glory Kills, souls, and polished HUDs — without replacing vanilla with a huge custom bestiary.

Built for modpacks that want deep RPG systems with full control under config/craftlevel/.

LP System (Life Points)

Progression starts with LP. Defeat mobs to earn Life Points; when your LP reaches the threshold for the next level, you level up and keep climbing toward a configurable max level.

• LP gain is tied to combat (hostile kills).
• How much LP you need per level is driven by configurable scaling curves (base value, scaling factor, scaling mode, level cap).
• Your level persists with the player and feeds into every other system: stats, mob difficulty, Glory rules, and skill requirements.

---

Scaling Configuration

Craft Level treats power as data, not hardcode. You define reusable scalers (for example health, melee power, spell power, mob health) and choose how they grow with level.

• Support for common growth styles such as linear and power curves.
• Apply modes control how values are applied (multiply, overwrite, and related options).
• include_modifiers lets you decide whether existing attribute modifiers are considered.
• Reload configs live with admin commands so pack makers can iterate quickly.

Player & Mob Scaling (Combat Events)

Once scalers exist, you wire them into gameplay.

Players

• Attributes (like max health) scale with player level.
• Stats refresh on login, level-up, relevant equipment changes, and config reload.

Mobs

• When a mob enters the world, it receives a level based on the nearest player (with configurable variation).
• Per-mob min/max overrides let you keep villagers, bosses, or special entities in range.
• Mob stats reapply from that level so difficulty tracks the world, not a flat vanilla curve.

Combat events

• hurt — outgoing damage can scale by damage type (melee, arrow, magic, modded sources, and more).
• hurt_self — incoming damage scaling.
• heal — healing sources can use their own scalers (including mod heal keys).

That means a sword hit, a spell, or a custom skill damage type can each follow different balance rules.

Configurable Economy

An emerald-focused economy designed:

• Emerald wallet and bank-style storage items in multiple capacities.
• Compressed emerald blocks for bulk value.
• Economy behavior driven by JSON so you can tune sinks, rewards, and related systems.
• Works alongside villager/trading tooling in the mod for a fuller money loop.

---

Mob Focus

Lock onto a target in chaotic fights. Mob Focus lets you pin an enemy so your HUD and combat attention stay on the right mob.

• Client keybind to focus/clear a target.
• Synced to the server so focus state stays consistent.
• Dedicated focus HUD layout (portrait / info) you can reposition like other HUD elements.

---

Souls & Gravestone

Death has weight without being pure softcore misery.

• Limited souls with configurable restore timing.
• Optional emerald loss (flat or percentage) and item loss rules on death.
• Optional gravestone so your death location and recovery loop stay readable.
• All of it is config-driven for hardcore packs or gentler SMP rules.

---

Glory Kills & Altar of Death

A second progression currency for builds:

• Earn Glory Kills from worthy hostiles (enemies too far below your level do not count — gap is configurable).
• At night, light the Altar of Death, then offer an amethyst shard to convert Glory into an Arcane Shard.
• Use Arcane Shards to gain Skill Points.
• Altar is a multi-block ritual structure with lighting, particles, and proximity effects while lit.

---

Skills & Spells

Spend Skill Points to unlock and upgrade a large catalog of active and passive skills across damage, defense, utility, and mobility.

• Skill menu with costs and minimum player level requirements (fully configurable per skill level).
• Cooldowns, active-skill tracking, and a spell hotbar for casting in combat.
• Examples include combat bursts, mobility tools, mining utilities, sustain skills, and quality-of-life abilities (portable crafting, recall, and more).

---

Client HUDs & Editors

Almost every important resource has a HUD you can move and scale:

• Level circle / LP bar
• Custom health and hunger bars (optional)
• Emeralds, souls, Glory Kills
• Mob health bars and focus display
• Active skills / spell hotbar

In-game editors help you tune client layout and many server JSON values without only editing files by hand.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Forge
• AttributeFix-Forge-1.20.1-21.0.5 (optional for attributes biggest 1024, like Health)

For pack makers

• Configs: config/craftlevel/
• Admin tooling via /craftlevel (levels, souls, Glory, skills, reload, and more)
• Systems-first design: scale existing Minecraft (and other mods) instead of shipping a new mob roster
