Compact Experience Bottles
by VIny_Z
Compact Experience Bottles adds four larger experience bottle variants, holding 4x, 16x, 64x and 256x the experience of a regular bottle, for Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Regular experience bottles can be crafted into bigger versions that store more experience in a single item. The four new variants are the 4x, 16x, 64x and 256x XP Bottle, so a stack of crafted items can hold the experience a player would otherwise carry as many separate bottles. Crafting uses the standard recipes shown in the author's gallery section.
The mod targets players who collect or move large amounts of experience, for example to trade or to store it for later use. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds listed for 1.12.2, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21, and the zlib License covers the code without making it open source.
