11th Aug 2023: I am taking a break from modding. I will be back, but not sure when. I will still try to respond to comments when I can.
Please note that only the latest version will be given support. Furthermore, I'm not developing for Forge any longer; this mod now uses Fabric.

Description

PlayerEx registers fully functional RPG themed attributes to the game, and adds them to the player by default ( these attributes can be added to other living entities). Also added are levels, skill points and configurable levelling. The latest iteration is powered by Data Attributes, which is where the bulk of the configurability comes from - please familiarise yourself with it before coming here to ask how to configure things.

For more detailed documentation on provided content and mechanics, among other things, please read the wiki.

Looking for the old HUD? It is now available as a standalone mod here.

An addon mod is also available: RelicEx; this mod offers some expansion items for PlayerEx attributes. Some videos kindly featuring PlayerEx:

By Mischief of Mice (Forge)
By bstylia14 (Forge)
By AsianHalfSquat (Fabric)

Notes and Guidance

The last version released for Forge was v1.1.8.
Please always use the latest version.
Please delete config files before updating to another version, as the config files tend to change between major versions as more configurability is implemented.
Modpacks are fine.
This mod comes bundled with (jar-in-jar) Cardinal Components (Base, Entity and Chunk modules), TextPlaceholderAPI, OfflinePlayerCache and exp4j (credit given).
