How to make a Skill
Skills
Skills are levelled up by completing certain tasks, and give effects, stats, and other bonuses when levelling up.
Default configs
The default configs can be found here. You can find additional user-created configs on lrcdb.

How to add skills
Each skill is its own config file, placed in the /skills/ folder, and you can add or remove them as you please. There's an example config called _example.yml to help you out!
The ID of the Skill is the file name. This is what you use in commands, effects and placeholders. ID's must be lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores only.

# levels: 1
# start-level: 10
# end-level: 20

# Effects to run when the skill levels up
# %level% is the level the skill leveled up to.
# If you want to restrict this to certain levels, you can use
# require: %level% = 20, or require: %level% < 50, etc.
# If you want a reward to run every x levels, you can use
# every: 1, or every: 12, etc
