BLOCK EXP
by Joaoigor789
Block EXP is a Forge world generation mod in which mined ores grant experience, with ores that drop XP orbs when broken.
What it does
Mining ores in this mod gives instant experience. The new ores drop experience orbs when they are broken, so a player who explores caves and mines resources levels up along the way. The mod runs on the client and the server together, so the server and every player need it. Its only published build is for Forge 1.20.1, released on 2025-12-26, and the code is not open source; the author holds all rights.
