Storytime is a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that lets players choose a race when they first join a world. Each race changes your attributes, gives you a passive trait, and may grant an active ability you can trigger with a keybind.

All races are defined through JSON datapacks, so server owners and modpack creators can add, remove, or modify races without touching any Java code.

Where to start

• Getting started — install the mod and join your first world
• Selecting a race — how the character selection screen works
• Using abilities — activating your race's active ability

For server owners and modpack creators

• Creating a datapack — add custom races to any world
• Race schema — every field a race JSON can contain
• Ability types — built-in ability types and their parameters
• Trait types — built-in trait types and their parameters
• Attribute modifiers — how to modify player stats
