Installation

MMO Skill Tree 1.6.0 requires a Hytale Update 6 (0.6.x) server; the jar's manifest targets >=0.6.0-pre.13 <0.7.0, and it does not load on an older server.

ZiggfreedCommon is required

MMO Skill Tree depends on a separate jar, ZiggfreedCommon. The server must load it before the MMO Skill Tree jar or the mod fails to fully initialize. It is not just a dependency shim: it owns the quest and achievement engines and their admin family /zigprogress, the branching dialogue engine, NPC placement, the shared economy behind /zigcommerce, feedback moments (toasts, sounds, broadcasts, with a neutral default file for each), the in-world quest tracker, and the placed-block ledger, and it ships neutral default shelf and grade words in all nine bundled languages. See ZiggfreedCommon for the owner's map of what it owns, and Add-ons for the full companion ecosystem.
  1. 1

    Install ZiggfreedCommon

    Download ZiggfreedCommon-2.1.0.jar (or newer) from CurseForge and place it in your server's mods/ folder. This must load before the MMO Skill Tree jar.
  2. 2

    Install MMO Skill Tree

    Download the .jar file from CurseForge and place it in the same mods/ folder.
  3. 3

    Add packs and companion mods (optional)

    The official content packs and the optional companion mods each install the same way (a download into mods/), but which needs what is its own subject: Add-ons: install order is the one walkthrough for the full stack.
  4. 4

    Start the server

    Configs are auto-generated in mods/mmoskilltree/. The shared library writes its own owner files and runtime stores under mods/ziggfreedcommon/.

Two ways to customize

A quick tweak goes in an owner file under mods/mmoskilltree/. Anything you want portable or shippable is a content pack, a folder of JSON zipped up and dropped into the same mods/ folder, so an update never overwrites it. See Content Packs as the primary route for customization.

Upgrading from 1.5.x?

See Upgrading to 1.6.0 for the full walk-through of what converts on its own and what needs your hand. In short: run /mmomigrate for a plain-language report of every older file, what boot already converted on its own, what it can convert for you (--action=owner --confirm=yes, with backups made first), and what needs your hand. Content packs go through the web Migration Converter instead.

Your First Steps

Once installed, simply play the game! You'll gain XP automatically by:

  • Mining blocks (ores, stone, gems)
  • Chopping trees
  • Digging soil, sand, and dirt
  • Harvesting plants and crops
  • Fishing at water
  • Crafting items
  • Building structures
  • Fighting enemies with various weapons

Breaking your first block triggers a short introductory quest that hands you two reusable tools: a Skills Menu Scroll (opens the skills menu on use) and a Quest Book (opens your quest log on use), so you never have to remember a command just to check your progress.

Essential Commands
