Levels 3 is an innovative mod centered around the concept of adding leveling systems to weapons and armor, aimed at improving the combat system within Minecraft. With Levels 3, you will be able to use your weapons and armor to gain experience, level up, and add unique attributes providing an edge in combat.

When you first obtain a weapon or piece of armor, it will be assigned a randomized rarity which will provide bonuses to damage (or damage mitigation), bonus experience, and even durability resistance. By successfully using your new weaponry, you will gain experience, in which if you gain enough, your weapon/armor will level up, potentially unlocking any attributes the weapon or armor might have.

Levels 3 changes a lot of features from Levels 2, all of which can be found here.

Support Levels
If you haven't noticed, I don't use AdFly links for any of my mods. The reason for that is I just don't like them. I'm not in this to make money, rather doing it because it is enjoyable. If you feel inclined and generous, consider donating any amount of money to the development of the mod.

And if money isn't necessarily an ideal way to support, simply providing feedback works just as well!

Really awesome! Can't wait for mod compatibility. This is something I would love to use when released, reminds me of iguana tweaks for TC's level up system, which I really like, but I have issues with TC at times. Keep it up!

Was this inspired by Iguana Tinker Tweaks? Anyways, it looks like a really good mod. Is this compatible with weapons (Sword of Zephyr) and armor (Metallurgy Armors) from other mods?

It was really inspired by the countless games which have a leveling system for weapons, and I felt that would be neat to have as a mod. As for mod compatibility, it won't be compatible with any mod right now. Mods would need to use the API for that. In the future, I'm definitely going to see about doing it some other way, but for now, that's what it is unfortunately. After the armor/bow systems come out, my main priority would be mod compatibility.

How much does it take to level up a level?

Looks like 1000-5000-10000-15000-20000+?

It's 1,000-2,500-5,000-10,000-20,000. You get 1 experience per successful swing (dealing damage) and 10/20/30 depending on which monster you kill.

The one downside of Iguana is that it makes the enchantment system somehow obsolete. What about your stuff? Is it possible to enchant the swords and armor?

I'm actually just about to test this, though my assumption is yes, you will be able to. I'll update this post when afterwards.

Edit: Yes, you can enchant weapons and have this system. A few enchantments will be obsolete (Fire for instance), though you can stack them.

Well, Iguana had a pretty good reason not to allow enchanting. I would suggest making this a config option or maybe think about a system for the leveling that requires more than just spamming the tool.

Iguana used mob heads, I imagine something more "interesting" like a ritual. You collect a certain amount of exp after which you need to perform a ritual to actually level the tool up one level.

I know that's pretty complicated but I for one could imagine that'd be more rewarding and would make the mod stand out even more.

Anyways, if you want to bounce ideas off of someone, be my guest.

Cheers

For now, it will probably be left as is. I'm still thinking how I want to integrate the two, if at all possible. Anyways, there is a likely hood that the enchanting system will not be compatible, but we'll see.

As for ways of leveling up, these will probably left as is for sometime. I'd like to develop a more complex level system in the future, but I'll ask around when I get to that point (likely after an "official release" instead of Beta's).

Armor tonight, perhaps?

Hopefully, at least. Also, if anyone has general suggestions for the mod, like new abilities and such, let us know! Other than that, the armor leveling system is almost finished; still a few things needing to be worked out.

Updated thread - much more clean and simple in my opinion. Unfortunately, b2.0.0 will have to wait a day or two while I finish up testing the logic and such. Feedback on what is currently in place is appreciated as well; will tweak the weapon system if people see fit to it.

YES! I'll be waiting for that unique armor leveling!

Almost finished :). Doing some last minute testing type things. Maybe Friday, most likely Saturday.

This is so amazing and simple!

Are you gonna add TC Integration and some other ones too?

Yes, I do plan on adding support for most popular mods like TC.
