Bring a whole new level of depth to your tamed wolves! Dog Talent Tree introduces a complete RPG-style progression system for your canine companions. No longer just simple pets, your dogs can now grow stronger, earn experience, and unlock unique abilities as they fight by your side.
🐾 Leveling & Experience System
- Earn XP: Your dog gains experience points for every mob it kills. The tougher the mob, the more XP your dog earns!
- Level Up: Watch your dog grow from a pup to a legendary warrior. Each level up increases their power and grants 1 Talent Point.
- Immersive Effects: Celebrate your dog's growth with vanilla-style level-up sounds, particles, and chat notifications.
🌳 Dynamic Talent Tree
Access the custom Talent Tree GUI by looking at your dog and pressing 'J' (default keybind). The menu features:
- XP Progression: Track your dog's current experience and level with a dedicated XP bar.
- Health Monitoring: View your dog's health (hearts) directly in the menu.
- Node Connections: A visual progression system where certain talents require others to be unlocked first.
✨ Current Talents (v1.0)
- Health Boost: Dramatically increases your dog's survivability by adding +10 Max Health (5 extra hearts!).
- Master Scavenger (Looting): Your dog becomes a master at finding treasures. Adds +2 Looting levels to all kills made by your wolf.
- Hell-Hound (Fire Resistance): Grants your dog complete immunity to fire and lava damage. Perfect for Nether explorations!
