PlayerEx

Your character should grow with the time you spend playing. PlayerEx brings RPG progression to Minecraft: earn levels, choose where your skill points go, and keep improving the equipment you take into a fight.

This Minecraft 1.21.1 version runs on Fabric and NeoForge. It carries forward PlayerEx: Director's Cut, with WizardEx and RelicEx content built in, a new character screen, and support for the magic and accessory mods you choose to install.

WizardEx and RelicEx are deprecated as standalone addons. Their features are now built into PlayerEx 5.0.0. Do not install the old addon JARs alongside this release.

PlayerEx 5.0.0 is the Minecraft 1.21.1 release. Use matching PlayerEx versions on the server and clients, and keep backups when updating an existing world.

How it works

Open the character screen with P, or click its tab beside your inventory. Collect vanilla experience, then spend your XP levels to raise your separate PlayerEx level. Each level gives one skill point by default, which you can put into your attributes. Level costs and the number of points awarded are configurable.

Open PlayerEx from your inventory

Click the gold button beside your inventory to open the character screen. Hover over it to see the PlayerEx tooltip, or press P to open the screen directly.

You decide how to build your character. Put points into Constitution if you want more health and armor, lean into Strength for melee damage, or develop Intelligence and individual spell schools for a magic-focused setup. You can mix attributes freely; there is no class selection that locks you into one path.

Changing your mind is part of the process. Refund points let you take owned allocations back and spend those skill points elsewhere. Refund points are separate from skill points, so rebuilding a character has its own cost.

Six attributes, plenty of room to experiment

The default relationships give each primary attribute a different role:

| Attribute | What it helps with | | --- | --- | | Constitution | Maximum health, armor, oxygen bonuses and poison resistance. With compatible magic attributes installed, it also contributes to magic resistance. | | Strength | Melee attack damage, melee critical damage, knockback resistance and block-breaking speed. | | Dexterity | Attack speed and ranged critical damage, plus ranged damage and haste when Ranged Weapon API is installed. | | Intelligence | Experience dropped by defeated entities, Wither resistance and compatible spell haste, critical damage and school power. | | Luckiness | Luck, evasion and critical chance for melee, ranged and compatible spell combat. | | Focus | Passive health regeneration, healing amplification, and Fire, Freeze and Lightning resistance. |

These are the supplied defaults. Data Attributes lets pack authors change the relationships, limits and scaling. Some bonuses use diminishing returns, so a percentage stat may grow more slowly as you invest more points.

Focus regeneration is passive, but it starts small. With the default relationships, one Focus point gives 0.015 health per second. It is gradual recovery, rather than an instant replacement for food or healing items.

A character screen that shows the whole build

The screen has three pages:
