Section I: What is McMMO?
​

McMMO's main function is to incorporate an RPG-like skill system that players have access to right from the beginning. Depending on how much a certain tool is used or a certain action is performed, players will gain experience that will eventually add bonuses such as double drops, rare drops, or ability enhancement.

McMMO can drastically enhance every day activities, such as mining, farming, or digging, where the special abilities can speed up the process and on some cases, give better item drops. McMMO is also widely used by players who like to partake in PvP, wether it be in the PvP world, or a private arena, McMMO is an opponent of its own, and can effect the outcome of a fight in a skilled users hands. McMMO also has a competition side to it, players race one another to see who can achieve a higher powerlevel or skill level first.

​

Section 2: Powerlevel

A players powerlevel can be determined by adding their total levels of all their skills (use /stats and /mcsb keep to test it out yourself). Some skills such as taming are not included in /stats, so a players powerlevel might be ever so slightly higher than the total skills combined. The powerlevel itself has no true effect, aside from being a goal to strive for, and in some cases a powerlevel can award a forum medal (medals awarded for levels 3000, 6000, and 9000).

Spoiler

Section 3: Excavation
​

Excavation in McMMO provides a passive ability to dig more blocks and find treasures buried beneath the earth. What you find is based on your skill level and the type of material you are excavating.

​

The drops that are found from breaking blocks range from glow stone dust to discs, and can turn a rountine digging into a great profitable excavation.

​

Since McMMO EXP was recently removed from blocks placed by players, the easiest way to level up excavation is simply a nice grassy place, such as a plains biome, and just excavate an area (10x10, 25x25, 50x50, Etc). Another way is to just use a shovel to break any dirt you see whilst mining, this is something that could be done anyway, and now can train your skill too.

Spoiler

Active Ability
Giga-Drill Breaker
Right-clicking with a Shovel in hand will activate Giga Drill Breaker. For a short period of time, it will allow you to instantly break any block that is most effective when broken with a shovel. The duration depends on level and server configuration. Giga-Drill breaker also awards triple drop/triple EXP whilst activated.

Passive Ability
Treasure Hunter
Each time you dig a block, there is a chance to obtain items you would not normally get from digging. These drops can make some extra money, or be used to craft some useful items.
Items/Blocks/Levels/Drop Chance:
Glowstone (Grass, Mycelium, and Dirt): level 25 [5%]
Slimeball (Clay): level 150 [1%]
Egg (Dirt): level 250 [1%]
Gold Music Disc (13) (any): level 250 [0.05%]
Apple (Grass and Mycelium): level 250 [0.1%]
Green Music Disc (cat) (any): level 250 [0.05%]
Red/Brown Mushroom (Dirt and Mycelium): level 500 [0.5%]
Cake (any): level 750 [0.05%]

Materials that give EXP: Grass, Dirt, Clay, Mycelium, Snow, and Soul Sand


​

Section 4: Fishing​

Fishing is a skill in McMMO that can affect a player in two ways. Fighting mobs, and eating food.

The easiest way to level up fishing is to "fish" mobs. This means setting up a zombie/Skelton spawner and fighting the mobs to death. However, you can also fish for levels at a fishing tower.​

Spoiler

Active Ability
Shake
From fishing level 150 and onward, the player will be able to shake items loose from mobs by hooking them with the fishing pole. It can be used repeatedly for a large number of items depending on the remaining health of the mob. However this reduces the durability of the fishing rod drastically.

Note: The fishing rod, when used in this method, will deal one half heart of damage per hit. Keep this in mind when fighting tougher creatures such as blazes, as you will not kill them as quickly as you are used to and potentially take more damage.

Ice Fishing
Allows you to fish in icy biomes.

Passive Ability
Fisherman's Diet
This ability increases the number of hunger units regenerated by consuming fish. It is measured in ranks increasing once every 200 levels, each rank increasing hunger regeneration by one unit (a single unit being half of a piece of meat on the hunger bar).



Fish-able mobs: Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders
​

Section 5: Herbalism
​

Herbalism is a skill in McMMO that is based on farming. It helps with harvesting crops, gives a better use for seeds, increases hunger restored by farmed foods (such as bread), and gives a chance for certain blocks and crops to yield more.

Herbalism can be leveled by farming any crop. The easiest way to level it up is to farm reeds by not breaking the bottom reed. This rewards high levels but also required no replanting. Another way of training is going to a flower forest biome and harvesting all the flowers for fast leveling.​

Spoiler

Active Ability
Green Terra
Spread the terra, 3x drops.

Passive Ability
Green Thumb
When harvesting a fully-grown plant, there is a chance for the player to instantly re-plant.The growth stage of the plant is based on Herbalism level. Replanting will use one of either seeds, carrots, or potatoes depending on what was harvested.

Farmer's Diet
This passive skill increases the amount of hunger herbalism foods restore as your Herbalism level increases.

Farmable Items (That give EXP): Netherwarts, Melons, Pumpkins, Reeds. Potatoes, Carrots, Wheat, Cocoa Beans, Lily Pads, and Vines.
​

Section 6: Mining​

Mining is a skill in McMMO that focuses around mining stone and ores. Leveling the skill allows for double drops, a longer Super Breaker, a. Its special ability, Super Breaker, allows for faster mining.

The easiest way to level up mining is to just break as much hardened clay/stone as possible. Find an area and just go crazy, make sure to right click to activate super breaker as much as possible.​

Spoiler

Passive Ability
Demolitions Expertise
Decreases damage from TNT and beds in the nether. At 500 mining Demolitions expert is unlocked and will cause all damage done by TNT to the player to be reduced by 25%.

Active Ability
Super Breaker
To activate this skill, right-click with the mouse while a pickaxe is in your hand, aimed at a mineable block. Upon activating Super Breaker, the user will be able to mine blocks significantly faster

Mineable Items (That give EXP): Stone, all ores, obsidian, mossy cobblestone, Glowstone, and Netherrack
​

Section 7: Woodcutting​

Woodcutting, according to McMMO's in-game description, "is all about chopping down trees".The above description may be slightly misleading, however, as huge mushrooms may be felled as an alternative to trees.
Experience in this skill can only be gained by breaking naturally-generated (not directly placed by a player) wood (logs) or huge mushroom blocks with an axe in hand.

The easiest way to level up this skill is to find a nice forest, activate tree feller, and chop the bases of all the trees in sight! Also, some players have made "tree farms" these are like normal farms except made with massive 2x2 trees. This way is leveled by running straight into the trees and chopping them down with tree feller activated. This method is very easy and rewarding as well.​

Spoiler

Active Ability
Tree Feller
To activate Tree Feller, right-click while holding an axe and proceed to break the bottom-most block of a tree or huge mushroom. Doing so will cause the entire tree/huge mushroom to break instantly, dropping all of its logs/huge mushroom blocks at once.

Passive Ability
Leaf Blower
Leaf Blower is an ability that will cause leaf blocks (of any variety) to break instantly when hit with an axe. By default, this ability is unlocked at level 100. When destroyed using Leaf Blower, a leaf block has a 10% chance of dropping its respective sapling.

Chop-Able Items (That give EXP): All woods and blocks from giant mushrooms.
​

Section 8: Archery​

Archery is an aggressive skill in McMMO. It includes passive abilities and can be leveled to actively deal more damage.

Archery is difficult to level up. The easiest way is to hire a person to stand and right click a heal sign while you shoot them with an infinity bow. You can also level this up by shooting players in PvP and mobs who have not spawned from a spawner.​

Spoiler

Passive Ability
Daze
Forces your opponent to stare at the sky, unable to attack, and deals 4 damage (two hearts) extra.

Arrow Retrieval
This passive ability allows you to pick up arrows that you have fired at mobs and enemies in PvP. The Chance for this stat increases by 0.1% with each level of Archery.

Skill Shot
Increases damage done with bows.
​

Section 9: Axes​

Axes is a PvP skill in McMMO that allows players to have more powerful axes when used in combat.

Axes is trained easiest by hitting a player who is holding right click on a heal sign. Alternatively, you can hit/kill mobs (who have not spawned from a spawner) or players in PvP.​

Spoiler

Active Ability
Skull Splitter
Upon Activation (Hitting a Mob/Player): Produces an AoE (Area of Effect) effect that damages other mobs within the vicinity of the first for 1/2 damage dealt. No McMMO experience is gained from enemies hit by the AoE effect. This makes 1v2 combat much more effective with an axe rather than a sword. Useful for clearing out rooms of mobs.

Passive Ability
Critical Strike
Critical Strike is a passive ability which gives players a chance to do additional damage, up to 3 hearts if you activate Skull Splitter and with Strength II

Every skill level in axes awards a 0.05% chance to deal a critical strike, causing 3x damage to [hostile] mobs, and 2.5x damage to other mobs.

Armor Impact
Breaks through armor faster than other weapons.

Greater Impact
Deals Bonus damage to unarmored foes.
​

Section 10: Swords​

Swords is an McMMO skill that adds onto the Minecraft Swords in-game. It adds the ability to cause the target to Bleed, have their sword do more damage with an active skill, and counter-attack melee attackers.

Swords is most easily trained by hitting a target dummy who is holding right click on a heal sign. Additionally, you can earn EXP can be earned by hitting/killing mobs that have not spawned from a spawner or fighting players in PvP.​

Spoiler

Active Ability
Serrated Strikes
25% damage AoE, Bleed+ AoE.

Passive Ability
Bleed

Bleed lasts for two 'ticks' or four seconds, below level 1000. At level 1000, Bleed will last for an extra 'tick' (for a total of 6 seconds) damaging 1/2 heart per second, for a total of 3 hearts. The chance to apply bleed is 0.1% for every skill level in Swords, with a max cap of 75% at level 750.

Note: Players that have Bleed cast upon them when they already have 3 ticks of bleed remaining will get a bleed that lasts for 6 ticks in total. If you have half a heart left and you still have Bleed then you will not die.


If you apply bleed to a mob, it will bleed until the effect wears off or death, whichever comes first, damaging at 1/4 heart per second.

Counter Attack
When Counter Attack activates, it will return 20% of the damage recieved, and passes through armor. You must be blocking for it to occur, and the chance to perform a counter attack depends on your Swords level; it increases by 0.05 per level. The Max Counterr Attack Percentage is 30%
​

Section 11: Unarmed​

Unarmed is a skill where the player uses their fists to defend themselves. At high levels, your arm could do more damage than a diamond sword in some situations.

Unarmed is most easily trained by hitting an enemy who is holding right click on a heal sign. However, hitting/killing mobs and fighting players in PvP awards EXP.​

Spoiler

Passive Ability
Iron Arm Style
Increases unarmed damage every 50 levels. The max is 4.5 hearts at level 500.

Arrow Deflect
Causes arrows that strike the player to harmlessly fall to the floor.
Arrow Deflect chance increases with 0.05% per level and caps at 50% at level 1000.

Active Ability
Berserk
To activate this skill, right-click with the mouse while unarmed. Upon Activation (Hitting a Block/Mob): Increases unarmed damage by 50%. Higher levels do not increase this bonus, but increases its duration by 1 second every 50 levels. Its base duration is of 2 seconds. If you punch a stone brick, it will also turn it into a cracked stone brick. Also, Berserk is helpful to clear a large area of dirt. When you punch dirt while Berserk is active, the dirt will instantly break.

​

Section 12: Acrobatics​

Acrobatics is an McMMO ability that is leveled by taking fall damage. It allows one to 'roll', reducing/cancelling damage on occasion, holding the sneak key you can execute a 'graceful roll' if you want a more-guaranteed cushion, and adds a dodge chance for halving damage.

Acrobatics can be trained by using a special trainer. This trainer has a lift sign up that drops you down 20 blocks or so, you then click and heal sign and repeat. Additionally, EXP can be gained by taking any fall damage and is determined by how much damage you take.​

Spoiler

Passive Abilities
Rolling
Decreases fall damage, sometimes to the point of nullifying it entirely. Likelihood of occurring is directly related to level, with a 0.1% increase for every additional level of acrobatics.

Graceful Roll
If you hold down sneak as you fall, there is a chance double that of your roll, for you get to enact a Graceful Roll. As well as having double the chance of a roll, it is twice as effective at reducing damage as an ordinary roll. If you jump from a really high height and hold down sneak as soon as you jump the graceful roll will not happen. For it to happen you have to press and hold sneak if you are falling from about 20 blocks or less above ground.

Dodging
Half attack damage taken. Chance increases by 0.025% each level of acrobatics, 20% dodge chance maximum. Fastest way to level up is getting dodges!
​

Section 13: Alchemy
​

With a recent update, a new skill called Alchemy has been added to McMMO. This skill allows players to brew potions faster as well as gain access to previously unobtainable potions.

Alchemy is leveled by brewing potions. The easiest way to level up is to brew potions, but instead of taking the poition out, just keep rotating glowstone and redstone. THis gives exp and saves time.

Passive Abilities
Catalysis
Catalysis speeds up the brewing process with a maximum speed of 4x at level 1000. This ability is unlocked at skill level 100 by default.

At level 100 Alchemy your speed is at 1x
At level 400 Alchemy your speed is at 2x.
At level 1000 Alchemy your speed is at 4x

Concoctions
Concoctions allow brewing potions with custom ingredients, meaning that players can now brew unbrewable potions. The special ingredients that are unlocked are determined by your rank. There are a total of 8 ranks. Each rank by default unlocks 125 levels after the previous rank.

Leave some feedback and let me know if I missed anything/should add anything!

 

yes, will do!

 

That completely slipped my mind, I first started this guide before alchemy was released,
I then finished it more recently and forgot. I will add this as soon as possible.

 

Updated for Alchemy. Please contact me if you would be willing to write/co-write a custom ECC experience guide for each mcmmo skill :)

 

This has been added.
