How to Open the Skills Menu and Spend Your Ability Points

Opening the Menu

Press the K key by default to open the skills menu. This is your central hub for everything related to the mod. If K is already bound to something else in your controls, open your Minecraft controls settings and look for the Pufferfish's Skills keybind, then reassign it to a free key.

Inside the menu you will see your current skill points, your total experience, and one or more skill trees. Each tree is a branching diagram of nodes. Nodes you can currently afford are highlighted, while locked or unaffordable nodes are dimmed.

Spending Points

1. Click a skill tree tab to view its nodes.

2. Hover over a node to read what it does and how many points it costs.

3. Click the node to unlock it. Your point total decreases by the node's cost.

4. Some nodes require a prerequisite node to be unlocked first — follow the connecting lines from the tree's root.

If you misclick or change your build, many skill trees let you refund points by right-clicking or shift-clicking an unlocked node, depending on how the tree's creator configured it. If refunding does not work, the tree is set to permanent and you will need a command or a new character to respec.

Points come from leveling up your skills, which happens automatically as you perform the actions each tree tracks, such as mining, fighting, or farming.
