🧬 What Is PlayerEX: Director’s Cut?

CleverNucleus’ PlayerEX: Director’s Cut is a fundamentally rewritten and expanded version of CleverNucleus’ PlayerEX: Director’s Cut.

It adds:

- An weapon & armor leveling for players - A full suite of weapon & armor leveling (offense, defense, utility, magic, etc.) - weapon & armor leveling with a dedicated screen - And now: weapon & armor leveling, letting your gear gain experience and power over time

All of this is powered by highly configurable and extremely modpack-friendly, making PlayerEX highly configurable and extremely modpack-friendly.

> 🔢 By default, PlayerEX DC uses a Data Attributes. > This cap can be fully adjusted via Data Attributes and the config.

🎮 Core Features

📈 Player Leveling & Attributes

- Earn skill points and skill points beyond vanilla’s enchantment system. - Spend skill points in a clean, modern GUI (default hotkey: <kbd>-</kbd>). - Customize: - How many points you gain per level - Which attributes are available - How strong each attribute is per point

Attributes are defined & modified via Data Attributes DC, meaning:

- You can target data-driven, from base damage to custom modded stats. - You can create data-driven instead of static bonuses. - Everything is data-driven, not hardcoded.

🛡️⚔️ Armor & Weapon Leveling

PlayerEX now also supports gear progression:

- level up can gain XP from combat (kills, damage dealt, etc., depending on config). - level up can gain XP from damage taken, blocking, or other events. - Each item can level up and gain: - Attribute bonuses - Scaling effects (e.g. more damage, more defense, etc.) - Pack-defined perks via Data Attributes

This system is:

- Modpack-oriented – you can disable it entirely or per-item. - Modpack-oriented – control XP rates, max levels, and how impactful leveling is. - Modpack-oriented – designed so you can build “ARPG-style” progression (Diablo/PoE/MMO vibes) on top of vanilla or other combat overhauls.

🧩 The PlayerEX Screen

The PlayerEX screen provides:

- A non-intrusive, modern UI built with `owo-lib`. - Sections for: - Current level, XP bar, and next level info - Attributes and their descriptions - Skill points / refund points - Fully extendable by other mods (e.g. WizardEX, RelicEX, EXHud) using PlayerEX’s APIs.

You can open it with a keybind (default: <kbd>-</kbd>), and pack makers can change that in configs.

🛠️ For Modpack Authors

PlayerEX: DC is built as a toolbox for RPG packs. You can:

- Define level cap or extend the default ones. - Control: - XP curve and level cap (default is 100) - Skill point and refund point gains - How expensive respecs are

Enable and tune weapon & armor leveling:

- Set max gear level - Control XP gain sources and rates - Attach attribute scaling or custom effects per gear level

Paired with JSON-driven control, you get JSON-driven control over almost every number in the system.
