What are Skilltrees?

Skilltrees are the way to specify when which pet will unlock/upgrade specified abilities.

The Skilltree mechanism is a feature that allows Pets to learn Skills as they level up. You can think of Skilltrees like player classes (Archer, Swordsman, Wizard, etc.) but for Pets.

MyPet 4 ships with 124 default skilltrees arranged as a two-tier "Ascension Ladder". They are ordinary skilltrees built with the features described on these pages - fully customizable, and the ascension design itself is optional.

Default Skilltrees

Skilltrees (.st.json)

This is a skilltree file. Every skilltree has its own file, which must be in proper json format and placed in the plugins/MyPet/skilltrees directory in your Minecraft server.

Skills

Skills are the abilities that Pets gain as they level up. Any ability has its own custom option that can be set in the skilltrees.

Upgrades

An upgrade will change the settings of a skill. It can add a row to the inventory or add more damage. Every upgrade is applied on a level rule that determines when it will be applied. An upgrade can be applied on fixed levels or on repeating schedules like every 3 levels.

Inheritance

Skilltrees are capable of inheritance which means if skilltree a inherits from skilltree b, skilltree a will have all the upgrades from skilltree b in addition its own upgrades.
