Skills and Sefarim
Knowledge on YidCraft is permanent. There are no levels, no XP, and no grinding. You either know a halacha or you do not.
Run /skills to open your knowledge menu. Green means learned, grey means not.
The five skills
Section titled “The five skills”| Skill | What it lets you do | How you get it |
|---|---|---|
| Hilchos Shechita | Use the Shechita Knife | Given on your first login |
| Sefer Brachos | Modeh Ani, and the mezuzah bracha | Given on your first login |
| Advanced Shechita | More meat from every proper shechita | Found while exploring |
| Hilchos Mikvaos | Build your own private mikveh | Found while exploring |
| Hilchos Stam | Repair mezuzos, yours and other people’s | Found while exploring |
You start with the first two, so nothing is gated behind a hunt on day one.
Sefarim
Section titled “Sefarim”Every skill is taught by a physical sefer, a real book you can read. Right-click it to study. The pages open, and you learn the halachos inside.
A sefer teaches only once
Section titled “A sefer teaches only once”After someone studies it, the sefer becomes a keepsake. The pages still open, its cover says who read it, and it will never teach again.
That is worth knowing for Shulchan Aruch - Hilchos Mikvaos in particular. Its later pages are a step-by-step guide to the construction wand, so keep the sefer rather than selling it and you have the instructions on hand.
So a sefer you find is genuinely yours. Nobody can borrow it, learn from it, and hand it back.
You can still keep it, shelve it, sell it, or trade it as a collectible.
Where the rare sefarim are
Section titled “Where the rare sefarim are”They are not sold in any shop. You find them exploring:
| Sefer | Look in |
|---|---|
| Advanced Shechita | Dungeons, mineshafts, desert pyramids, jungle temples, outposts |
| Shulchan Aruch - Hilchos Mikvaos | Stronghold libraries, buried treasure, shipwrecks, ocean ruins |
| Hilchos Stam | Stronghold libraries, woodland mansions, ancient cities, bastions, end cities |
They are rare on purpose, roughly one chest in twenty at best. A sefer is a find, not a farm.
The Jewish Library
Section titled “The Jewish Library”Buy a Jewish Library from /kosher shop for 300 Kosher Points.
- Place the library like any block.
- Right-click an empty slot to shelve a sefer.
- Right-click an occupied slot to take it back.
It holds six sefarim, and the books show on the shelf.
It only accepts Jewish books. Ordinary and enchanted books belong on a normal bookshelf, and the library will say so.
Break the library and everything on it drops.
Common questions
Section titled “Common questions”I studied a sefer and now it says “Studied by me”.
Section titled “I studied a sefer and now it says “Studied by me”.”That is right. It taught you, and it will not teach anyone else. Keep it, shelve it, or sell it as a collectible. You keep the knowledge either way.
Someone gave me a sefer and it did nothing.
Section titled “Someone gave me a sefer and it did nothing.”Somebody already studied that copy. You need an unread one.
I bought a Mikveh Wand and it does nothing.
Section titled “I bought a Mikveh Wand and it does nothing.”You need Hilchos Mikvaos. Buying the tool and knowing the halachos are separate things, so find and study the sefer. Once you have, the sefer’s later pages walk you through working the wand, and /mikveh wand hands you one for free.
I cannot repair a mezuzah with the Sofer’s Quill.
Section titled “I cannot repair a mezuzah with the Sofer’s Quill.”You need Hilchos Stam, or ask a player who has it.
