Older versions are now on the modrinth page for easy access

NOTE: Please see the the modrinth page for the most up-to-date description!
It's unnecessary for me to maintain two descriptions

How to get abilities
A chat message should pop up (see image), and you can click on whichever ability you want, or hover for more info.
If not, use the command /trigger showMenu
You can choose human by not choosing anything
To stop normal player from choosing abilities, see the config
Note: You cannot change your ability after you choose in some cases! See the for operators section

For operators
Singleplayer world: To use the commands listed in this section, cheats must be enabled
To clear your ability, do /function abilities:reset
To clear someone else's ability, do /execute as <username> run function abilities:reset
After running the reset function, the selection menu will reappear

Notes: The below method causes problems. Instead of doing /tag, consider doing /execute as <username> run function abilities:reset
To change someone's ability, first remove their current ability by doing /tag <username> remove abilities.<the name of the ability>
Then, you can set their ability by doing /tag <username> add abilities.<the name of the ability>
For the ability name, use all lowercase and replace any spaces with _

Config
For operators only. Do /function abilities:config
Click on the check or X to enable/disable and hover to see what each config value is about.

Extra stuff
For abilities that burn in sunlight, you can wear a helmet to stop burning
You cannot use powers (shift+jump) while in water
Abilities with weakness needs 5 or more damage in one hit to be able to hit anything

For Paper Servers:
In the config folder, open the world default config. Control F for
allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards
and set to true. Restart

Geyser & Bedrock
Abilities does NOT support Bedrock (get Java lol), like any other datapacks.
Abilities does NOT COMPLETELY WORK on Geyser, because Bedrock players cannot click in chat (bruh bedrock sucks). But, if a Java operator gave them an ability manually, it will work fine. Note that Java players can use Abilities fine even with Geyser enabled.

If the menu is not working
Do /function abilities:config and toggle on and then toggle off operators choose ability. Then try again
