Skills

You’re already leveling up

There’s no separate grind here. Mining ore levels Mining. Fighting mobs levels the weapon skill you’re using (Swords, Axes, Unarmed, Archery, and so on). Farming levels Herbalism. Fishing levels Fishing. Taming and riding animals levels Taming. It happens automatically in the background as you play normally.

17 skills, each with its own perks

Passive bonuses unlock as you level - things like extra drops, a chance to avoid fall damage, faster tool use, and better luck finding treasure while fishing or digging. Higher levels also unlock active abilities with real cooldowns - big, satisfying moments like instantly breaking a 3x3 of blocks at once, felling an entire tree in one hit, or a burst of bonus damage and knockback in a fight.

Checking your progress

/mcstats - see all your skill levels at a glance
/<skillname> (e.g. /mining, /swords, /fishing) - details on that specific skill
/mctop - server leaderboards
/mcrank - how you stack up

Parties

/party create <name> groups you up with friends to share experience while playing together nearby. Shared XP gets a bonus the bigger and more active the party is, and higher party levels unlock party chat, teleporting to party members, and sharing items/experience directly.

Leveling pace

Nothing here is pay-to-win or tied to anything you buy - it’s purely a reward for playing the way you already were going to.
