What does Skill Perks add?

| Perk | Description |
|---|---|
| Magma Ward | When lava would burn you, the lava at your feet hardens into obsidian and you gain brief Fire Resistance. |
| Safety Net | Falling into the void teleports you back to the last solid ground you stood on instead of falling to your death. |
| Soulbound Idol | A Totem of Undying anywhere in your inventory saves you from death, even if it isn't in your hand. Consumed on use. |
| Blessed Idol | Your totem's revival is far stronger: added Resistance and Absorption, plus longer Regeneration. |
| Reflect | Chance to turn an incoming ranged hit into damage on whoever fired it instead of you. |
| Shield Reflect | Reflect is always 100% while you're actively blocking with a shield. |
| Toughness | +2 hearts of maximum health per rank. |
| XP Insurance | When you die, every XP point you'd earned drops as orbs to walk back and reclaim - not just vanilla's small capped fraction. |
| Second Wind | When a hit would drop you below 3 hearts, gain Regeneration and Absorption. |
| Bulwark | 2% chance to completely shrug off any incoming hit. |
| Executioner | 1% chance any hit you land instantly kills whatever you're fighting. |
| Sure-Footed | Take 50% less fall damage. |
| Swift | +5% movement speed per rank. |
| Water Walking | Walk on the surface of water instead of sinking. Diving or falling in still gets you wet. |
| Double Jump | Press jump again in mid-air for a second jump. Recharges the moment you touch down. |
| Lava Walking | Walk on the surface of lava too - but only while you keep moving. Stand still and you'll sink in and catch fire. |
| Sprint Walking | Sprinting no longer breaks Water Walking - cross the surface at full speed instead of diving in. |
| Animal Tamer | Wild tameable animals spawn more often nearby, and taming one is easier. |
| Night Runner | Killing an enemy somewhere dark enough for monsters to spawn - outside at night, or in a cave - grants 5 minutes of Night Vision. |
| Pack Master | +20% movement speed. With 5 or more tamed pets following you, they focus hostile mobs together instead of fighting alone. |
| Mount Speed | Whatever you're riding moves faster, per rank. |
| Pack Blessing | Your beneficial status effects are shared with every tamed pet following you nearby. Harmful effects from a splash that hits you are never passed on. |
| Water Strider | The mount you're riding walks on the surface of water instead of sinking or swimming. |
| Angler | Fish bite faster, and you're luckier with what you reel in. |
| Excavator | Break blocks faster. |
| Green Thumb | Crops near you grow much faster. |
| Iron Lungs | Hold your breath far longer underwater. |
| Lumberjack | Chopping a tree fells the whole trunk and its leaves at once. |
| Rancher | Baby animals near you grow up much faster. |
| Emergency Rations | The moment your hunger bar completely empties, cooked beef appears in your inventory. |
| Captain | Boats you're riding move faster. |
