Better Than XP Bottles
by valenyqs
Better XP Bottles, a Fabric server mod for version 1.21.11, lets players store experience levels in bottles and withdraw them later.
What it does
Experience levels are stored in bottles and can be moved back to a player instantly. Each filled bottle is labeled with its level count, so a stack of bottles can be read at a glance and kept in a chest as safekeeping. Sneaking while right-clicking with an empty bottle fills it, and throwing a filled bottle as with a normal splash bottle restores its levels to the thrower.
The mod is meant for players who want to carry experience between sessions, for example in a backpack chest, and for servers where experience management is part of the play. Because the bottles stack like ordinary items, storage does not need special containers.
Installation needs Fabric Language Kotlin on the server. Mod Menu is optional and only adds its configuration screen. Better XP Bottles is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and the mod is published for 1.21.11 alone.
Key features
Experience stored in bottles
Hard-earned experience levels can be bottled and kept for later use, instead of being spent at once.
Instant level transfer
Filling and emptying a bottle moves the levels immediately, with no delay or partial transfer.
Automatic level labels
Each bottle shows its level count, so stacks of different amounts are simple to tell apart.
Sneak to bottle
Sneaking while right-clicking with an empty bottle collects levels, and a thrown filled bottle gives them back.

Use cases
Carrying experience between sessions
A player can bottle levels before logging off and withdraw them after returning, without spending them.
Backpack and chest storage
Stacked bottles fit in a chest, so a backpack or storage chest can hold a reserve of experience.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run survival or experience-focused servers, and players who gather experience faster than they spend it.
How it compares
XP Extractor is a client and server mod for Fabric and version 1.21.1, released under the MIT License and open source. Share XP with Others is server-side only for 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source, and it shares experience between players rather than storing it in bottles.
