Zenith Scale Foundation Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start leveling in this mod?
Defeat hostile mobs or mine valuable ores like diamonds and ancient debris to earn EXP. Open your character menu with K (default) to see your progress and spend skill points on the six core categories.
What's the difference between the two leveling modes?
You can choose between an independent RPG EXP pool (separate from vanilla XP) or use your standard vanilla XP levels for progression. Configure this choice in /ascend config based on your preferred playstyle.
Do I need to be the one who kills the mob to get EXP?
No—EXP is split among all players based on actual damage dealt, so you get credit for your contribution even if someone else lands the final hit.
Can I remove the stat caps so my health scales infinitely?
Yes, the mod removes default vanilla attribute ceilings by design, so maximum health, armor, and resistances can grow freely as you level up.
How do I edit which stats scale with my attributes?
Use /ascend editor to open the attribute scaling editor, where you can modify stat values and link external mod attributes to the six core categories.
What should I prioritize for a melee build?
Focus on Strength for attack damage and mining speed, Constitution for survivability, and Luck for critical strike chance. Refer to the 'Build a Melee Combat Character' guide for a full breakdown.
Does this mod work with other mods that add attributes?
Yes—everything links directly to game attributes, ensuring clean support with other mods and gear. Use /ascend editor to connect external mod attributes if needed.
Why am I not getting EXP from mining stone or wood?
The mod rewards EXP primarily from valuable ores (diamonds, ancient debris, emeralds) and mob defeats. Common blocks like stone and wood don't grant significant EXP by design.
Can I adjust how fast I level up?
Yes—use /ascend config to modify EXP rates, level curves, and progression limits to match your preferred difficulty.
What does Focus do and when should I invest in it?
Focus enhances passive health regeneration, healing amplification, lifesteal, and elemental resistances. It's valuable for survivability and sustain-focused builds, especially in dangerous encounters.
