Last releaseHow long ago the newest file came out, or an existing file was marked as working on a new Minecraft version.2.4 years ago (2 Jun 2024)Supports popular versionsWhether the project has a file for a Minecraft version that 15% or more of the popular mods updated in the last 6 months also support.

Removed from modpacksHow many modpacks removed it in a later version of the pack. We can only see this in modpacks with two or more versions. A pack that swaps it for another edition of the same project, or that is rebuilt from scratch, does not count.Not measured yet.Quick fixesHow often a release needed a quick fix: a new release within 3 days to fix a problem in it.Not measured yet.Known conflictsHow many projects say they do not work with it, compared with how widely it is used.

About
Advanced Skills adds a skill-based combat system in which players gain Skill Experience alongside ordinary experience and can randomly learn skills as they level up. Players equip skills in active, general, and passive slots, with six slots by default and up to ten available, then activate them through shortcuts or quick casting. Its skills cover a broad range of combat and utility effects, including dashes, teleports, dodges and grappling hooks; imprisonment, slowing and silence; self-healing, wall climbing and stealth; and summons such as mounts or servants. Other skills can rebound incoming damage, provide enhancements such as seeing through obstacles or ignoring liquids, restore health, or unleash destructive attacks including fireballs, TNT and meteors. Most skills have cooldowns, while some require charging; quick casting lets continuous skills run to completion without holding the activation control, unless the player interrupts them.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Can update itself
- It can add or replace files in your mods folder, for example to update itself.
- Starts other programs
- It can start another program on your computer. It can open a web link or a file.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in oωo-sentinel, a library it includes. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 3 files in your config folder.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and sounds and found none.
We have not read its changelogs and code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.

Known conflicts
These projects do not work together with Advanced Skills: their authors or Advanced Skills' author say so. If you install both, the game can crash or some features can stop working. Some of them do the same job as Advanced Skills, so you only need one.
