Endless Mastery

Quickstart

1. Install the mod and load a world — no setup required. Mastery tracking begins the moment you start playing.
2. Do anything: walk around, mine a block, hit a mob, eat food. XP is awarded automatically and a brief message appears on your action bar.
3. Level up enough in a skill and your character becomes permanently stronger — no menus, no unlock buttons.
4. Check your progress at any time by typing /mastery in chat.

Overview

Endless Mastery turns ordinary Minecraft gameplay into a persistent skill-progression system inspired by the Elder Scrolls approach to leveling. Every action you take — moving, mining, fighting, eating, jumping, swimming — contributes XP to one or more skills. Skills have no level cap, and each level requires progressively more XP than the last. The result is a game where you naturally grow more powerful just by playing, and specialization emerges from how you actually spend your time.

All progress is saved with your player data and survives world reloads and server restarts.

What It Adds

Endless Mastery adds no new items or blocks. Instead it layers an invisible but meaningful progression system onto everything that already exists:

• Skill tracking for dozens of named skills and specific sub-skills (individual blocks, items, foods, and entity types).
• Permanent attribute bonuses that grow with your skill levels.
• Action-bar feedback showing XP gains and level-up messages as they happen.
• Inspection commands to view your current progress.

Skills and What Trains Them

In addition to these broad skills, the mod tracks specific sub-skills for individual blocks (block:<id>), items (item:<id>, use:<id>), foods (eat:<id>, drink:<id>), and enemy types (damage:<id>, kill:<id>). These grant smaller amounts of XP alongside the parent skill and reflect deep specialization.

A global skill accumulates XP across everything you do.

Abilities and Mechanics

Skill levels translate directly into permanent attribute modifiers applied server-side. Bonuses begin from level 1 — there is no unlock threshold.

Damage Scaling

Combat and defense levels also directly modify the damage numbers in combat:

• Attacking: Each combat (or weapon-style) level above 1 adds 1.5% to your outgoing damage.
• Defending: Each defense level above 1 reduces incoming damage by 1% (applied before armor).

A kill bonus message appears on your action bar when you defeat an enemy.

Safe-Fall and Acrobatics

The safe-fall distance bonus is kept in sync with your jump strength bonus so that at any acrobatics level you can land safely from your own enhanced jump. Fall damage reduction from acrobatics is capped at 85%, meaning extremely large falls (well beyond your jump height) will still deal some damage.

Progression and Strategy

Because every action trains its relevant skill, the fastest way to grow is to play naturally and lean into what you enjoy:

• Builders and miners will see block-break speed increase quickly.
• Warriors who fight often will deal noticeably more damage and become harder to kill over time.
• Explorers who sprint and jump across the world gain movement speed and acrobatics bonuses.
• Farmers and foragers who eat varied foods build up the eating skill and accumulate specific food sub-skills.

There is no level cap, so all skills continue to improve indefinitely. Early levels come quickly; later levels require substantially more XP, making the system rewarding at every stage of the game without trivializing long-term play.

Commands

Skill names are the same internal identifiers listed in the skills table above, or the full namespace:path IDs for specific sub-skills.
