Skills & everyday bonuses

Use /skills to see your levels and progress. You improve through ordinary activities, so a farmer, builder and dungeon adventurer can progress at different things. Skill levels are separate from the green Minecraft XP bar.

What each skill does

Skill	Activity and benefits
Mining	Mining with a suitable tool; faster breaking and gathering luck
Woodcutting	Cutting logs; faster breaking and gathering luck
Harvesting	Harvesting; gathering speed and luck on supported blocks
Excavation	Digging; faster breaking and gathering luck
Combat	Fighting; damage, attack recovery and looting bonuses
Arms Mastery	Weapon mastery, including additional sweeping levels at milestones
Archery	Bow combat; additional ricochets at levels 50 and 100
Fishing	Fishing; additional lure at levels 50 and 100
Defence	Toughness and additional maximum health
Acrobatics	Protection against fall damage
Athletics	Sprinting; Swiftness I at level 50 and II at level 100
Sneaking	Reduced detection and stronger qualifying stealth attacks; heavy armour reduces the detection benefit
Smithing	Chances to return materials and improve supported smelting outcomes
Alchemy	Chance to return brewing ingredients
Enchanting	Chances for cheaper enchanting and improved enchantment outcomes

Bonuses apply to supported activities and equipment. A mining bonus does not make an unsuitable tool able to harvest a block.

Skill milestones

The maximum skill level is 100. The server sets the gathering speed bonus to a maximum of 35%, combat damage bonus to 20%, and attack recovery reduction to 15%. These are maximum skill contributions, not promises about total damage or every block’s breaking time.

Gathering luck gains a level at each 50 skill levels. Defence grants a heart of maximum health each ten levels and toughness at 25-level milestones. Alchemy’s ingredient-return chance reaches 50% at level 100.

If a bonus appears absent, check your skill level, the activity and the tool first. Use /skills to inspect current progress.
