Cat's Skills
A simple skill mod that adds a new menu, 12 new skills, and a couple of extra features. Have fun!
About this Mod
Overview
A simple skill mod that adds 12 skills. Due to a glitch with the modding software, JEI might not work. The only crafting recipe is the infobook, which is a book surrounded by 4 lapis. Fun fact: The top of the skilltree contains helmet skills, bottom is legging skills, left is sword, and right is bow! Most skills require FOCUS, the mana of this mod. FOCUS regenerates at a speed of 1F/second, and the max is 8. Skill Points, used to obtain skills, are obtained simply by collecting exp. The amount of exp needed for each skillpoint will go up the more you have, but otherwise that's it. Have fun and report any bugs in the discord!
