Fantasy Classes

Fantasy Classes is a massive project that aimed to add fantasy RPG elements to Minecraft. These include classes, professions, a new levelling system, new enemies & bosses, and plenty of world building.

Classes

An example of the classes menu, also showing the player’s custom experience bar.

Each class has its own skill tree. When a player levels up through the custom levelling system, they gain a class point to spend at even levels, and a profession point at odd levels.

Each class has unique themes and strengths. For instance, Sea Guardians are fate-bound warriors tied to the ocean. Many of their abilities gain extra power when they are in or near water. Additionally, they have branching paths to various sub-categories such as ice magic, lightning conjuring, and restorative waves.

Sea Guardian

This class has a wide variety of utility to help its allies, while also providing ample damage. What they lack in mobility they make up with raw constitution.

Berserker

Berserkers bring a mix of heavy damage, and strong wills. They can take plenty of punishment, and then leap high into the air and crash down onto their foes.

Monk

Monks wear no armor, but make up for it with their swift recovery and nimble movement. They may choose a mix of mobility, weapon specializations, and mastering mead to aid them in battle.

Ranger

Rangers are masters of the bow. They have a multitude of choices between mid and long range fighting, as well as various forms of traps and nature magic. Additionally, they can modify their arrows to be trick shots, granting random unique effects that help to bring down their enemies.

Professions

An example of the professions menu, also showing the player’s custom experience bar.

Each profession effects gameplay outside of combat. Originally, these were baked into each class as a form of utility, but due to balance concerns they were made into their own trees. For example, the Fisherman profession originally was a part of Sea Guardian. It has a focus on making water traversal much easier, control over the rain for certain buffs, and of course fishing.

Fisherman

This profession is designed for players who spend much of their time in or near large bodies of water. It makes building and travelling in water much better, as well as emphasizing fish as a viable food source.

Enchanter

Enchanting is a powerful tool. For balance reasons, Fantasy Classes heavily nerfs what is available to most players, but that power, and more, can still be attained via this profession. It allows for more control over the enchanting, granting the user more customization and linear progression.
