Installing the Fabled Plugin for Custom Minecraft RPG Servers

Fabled (formerly ProSkillAPI) turns vanilla Minecraft into a deeper RPG without forcing you into YAML files or Java mods. Server admins can build custom classes, layered skill trees, and tailored attributes through a browser editor, then drop the results straight into the plugin folder. The result is a progression system that fits your world rather than a generic class pack.

Downloading Fabled and Codex

Head to the Fabled page on SpigotMC and use the Download button in the top right corner.

Grab the latest release and its required companion, Codex. Both JAR files need to land in the same plugins folder later, so keep them somewhere you can find again.

Installing the Plugin

Fabled needs a server fork that supports Bukkit plugins. Spigot, Paper, or Purpur all work. Once your jar of choice is set, follow these steps.

1. Open your server panel and stop the server.
2. Open the file manager or connect via FTP.

1. Sign in with your panel credentials and enter the `plugins` directory.

1. Drag the Fabled and Codex JAR files into the folder, or use the Upload button at the top.
2. Once the files appear in the list, start the server again from the panel.

A clean boot in console means the plugin loaded without missing dependencies.

The Web Editor

Instead of YAML, Fabled ships with a visual editor in the browser. You build skills, classes, and attributes through forms and dropdowns, then export the result as files.

• Skills tab: abilities, cooldowns, mana costs, particle effects.
• Classes tab: progression paths like Warrior or Mage with their assigned skills.
• Attributes tab: stats such as strength, dexterity, or intelligence.

Building a Skill

In the Skills tab, click New Skill and stack triggers, conditions, and mechanics until the ability does what you want.

Building a Class

Switch to the Classes tab to define how players level, what skills they unlock, and how branches connect.

Building an Attribute

The Attributes tab lets you tweak existing stats or invent your own. Each one can scale combat, mining, or anything else you tie into a skill formula.

Pushing Your Work to the Server

When the design feels solid, it is time to move it across.

Export from the Editor

Click Backup All Data or the equivalent Download button in the editor. The export generates `skills.yml`, `classes.yml`, and `attributes.yml`. Keep them together in one folder on your computer.

Upload via FTP

1. Stop the server from your control panel.
2. Open the file manager or your FTP client.
3. Enter `/plugins/Fabled/dynamic`.
4. Upload the three YAML files.
5. Start the server.

In-Game Commands

Once the server is online, players use these commands to interact with the system.

• `/class options` opens a GUI listing available classes.
• `/class profess [ClassName]` joins the selected class.
• `/class skill` opens the skill tree to spend points.
• `/class customize` lets admins reshape menus.
• `/class cast [SkillName]` triggers a skill manually.

Final Notes

Fabled removes the ceiling vanilla Minecraft puts on progression. A small server can run a tight five-class system, and a larger one can host dozens of branching paths with hundreds of skills. The plugin handles the engine. The story is yours.
