Everlasting Abilities Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Discover Abilities That Stick

Everlasting Abilities Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) introduces a powerful system of persistent character upgrades in Minecraft. Gone are the days of constantly managing potions or wearing specific gear to gain buffs. With this mod, players can acquire and store abilities permanently using Ability Bottles, and even retain them after death. Whether you seek utility, combat boosts, or environmental enhancements, this mod empowers you with over 40 customizable abilities that fundamentally alter your survival or multiplayer experience.

Upon joining a world, players are given an Ability Bottle containing a random power. Through a simple interface, abilities can be transferred to the player in exchange for experience points (XP), and moved back to the bottle to reclaim the XP. Abilities can also be removed, modified, or added using datapacks, offering a high degree of customization for both casual and advanced users.

XP cost / refund – spend XP to learn an ability, get it back when you unequip.
Over 40 unique abilities (Flight, Speed, Magnetize, Night Vision, Fire Resistance, Regeneration, Strength, Water Breathing, Step Assist, Dark Arts, etc.).
Area effects & team safety – debuff abilities only harm enemies, not teammates.
Ability Totems – random abilities found in loot chests or dropped by special mobs.

Keep an eye out rare abilities are often guarded by tougher or elusive enemies.

This mod collects anonymized startup data to help improve development. You can disable this feature at any time via the config file. It fully respects Minecraft’s built-in snooper settings for privacy.

You can recycle leftover Ability Totems by placing any three in a crafting grid to generate a new random totem. The rarity of the input totems will influence the rarity of the resulting one, so choose wisely when combining.
