Welcome to mcMMO! This page is a brief, player-focused walkthrough for someone joining a server with mcMMO installed for the first time. It covers what skills are, how XP works, what Super Abilities are, and the small handful of commands you'll use most often.
mcMMO is a server-side plugin that turns ordinary Minecraft activities into trainable skills. Every time you mine stone, chop a tree, swing an axe, or land an arrow, you earn experience in the matching skill. Levels in each skill unlock new abilities -- bonus drops, double damage, automatic crop replanting, fast-felling whole trees, and many more.
Skills are entirely per-player. Nothing in your inventory needs to change to use mcMMO -- the plugin watches what you do and rewards it automatically.
You don't need to do anything special to start. Mine a block, swing your sword, cast a fishing rod, and you'll see XP gains appear in your action bar. A few things worth knowing up front:
/mcstats at any time to see every skill, its current level, and progress to the next level./<skillname> (such as /mining or /archery) to see the sub-skills you've unlocked and what they do at your current level.| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/mcstats |
Show your full skill sheet. |
/<skillname> |
Show details for one skill -- e.g. /mining, /archery, /herbalism. |
/mctop [skill] |
View the server-wide leaderboard for the given skill (or your overall power level if omitted). |
/mcrank |
Show your own rank on every skill leaderboard. |
/mcability |
Toggle ability preparation. If disabled, you won't accidentally trigger Super Abilities while building. |
/inspect <player> |
Look at another player's skill levels. |
/party |

/mcmmo |

A complete command reference is in Commands.
Most combat and gathering skills have an active Super Ability:
| Skill | Super Ability | Triggered with |
|---|---|---|
| Mining | Super Breaker (faster ore mining) | Right-click while holding a pickaxe |
| Mining | Blast Mining (TNT efficiency) | /blastmining while detonating TNT remotely |
| Excavation | Giga Drill Breaker | Right-click while holding a shovel |
| Woodcutting | Tree Feller | Right-click while holding an axe |
| Herbalism | Green Terra | Right-click while holding a hoe |
| Unarmed | Berserk | Right-click with an empty hand |
| Axes | Skull Splitter | Right-click while holding an axe |
| Swords | Serrated Strikes | Right-click while holding a sword |
| Archery | Explosive Shot | Charged shot mechanic |
Each ability has a cooldown (configured server-side, often around 4 minutes). When ready again, you'll see a refresh notification.
