In this 50-minute review, Nintendo Switch Brit and guest Phoenix dive deep into the Player Skills Pro add-on for Minecraft Bedrock. This add-on introduces a comprehensive leveling system with specialized skills, but it comes with a significant amount of grinding.
Getting Started & Leveling Up [00:17]
The add-on features a guide book, but the reviewer criticizes its "style over substance" design, finding it difficult to navigate [12:58]. To earn Skill Points, you must gain XP through various activities:
Mining: 10 XP per 5 blocks [06:40].
Combat: 25 XP per mob kill [07:18].
Movement: 1 XP per second of walking [10:04].
Harvesting: XP is also earned from gathering crops and mushrooms [08:40].Note: You do not earn XP for placing blocks or eating, which the reviewer felt was a missed opportunity [07:41].
The Skills Breakdown
Skills are divided into three categories: Combat, Magic, and Utility. Each skill can be leveled up multiple times, though the total cost to max everything out is a staggering 2,940 skill points [14:42].
Combat Skills [15:10]
Power Strike: A heavy attack that deals bonus damage and can even hit through armor, though it requires a specific inventory item to trigger [16:10].
Fury: Provides a 10% chance to land a multi-hit attack [16:45].
Multi-Shot: Allows regular bows to fire two arrows at the cost of only one [18:22].
Backstab: Deals extra damage when attacking from behind, though mostly useful in multiplayer [22:00].
Magic Skills [22:31]
Fireball: Launches an explosive projectile that deals fire damage. Level 3 adds block-breaking capabilities, which can be dangerous in your own base [05:22].
Lightning: Strikes one target at level 1, increasing up to six targets at level 3. Great for creating charged creepers [24:06].
Healing Light: A powerful skill that can restore a player to full health in a single use [26:27].
Summon Familiar: Summons an Allay-like familiar that attacks enemies for significant damage (up to 10 HP through armor) [30:46].
Utility Skills [34:53]
Tracking: Highlights nearby passive mobs, hostile mobs, or players through walls—extremely useful for mining or PvP [35:03].
Miner: Grants Haste (up to Haste II) and eventually Night Vision, making mining much faster [41:06].
Endurance: Increases maximum health, movement speed, and adds passive health regeneration [42:13].
Farmer & Fisher: These automate or enhance gathering tasks, such as auto-replanting crops or increasing rare fishing loot [39:37].
The Final Verdict [46:30]
The reviewer labels this as the most grindy add-on they have ever reviewed. While the end-game skills are powerful and fun, the path to get there is tedious.
Recommendation: Add this to a new world and level up passively as you play. Don't make it the main focus of your gameplay, or you'll burn out.
Tier: "You Should Consider" (specifically for new survival worlds).
