DualExp: Split XP Roles – Level vs Currency
by kwwsyk_MC
DualExp: Split XP Roles splits the single experience pool of Minecraft into a level that gates features and a currency that is spent on them.
What it does
The mod separates traditional experience into two roles. Experience levels keep working as before and are used to gate features such as enchanting, while the experience currency is spent on actions. Default experience orbs feed both roles at once, and the mapping table sets how each unit of experience translates into rune values.
Experience gained or spent through vanilla actions is rerouted into rune gain and loss, and level reductions are converted into rune loss as well. Rune experience follows the keepInventory rule on death. A simple client-side display shows rune information, and the behavior can be changed through config options. The mod intercepts vanilla experience handling with Mixin, and a lightweight API lets other mods read, sync and change both roles.
The mod is published for NeoForge only, with files for 1.21.1 and 1.21.2 and 1.0.0 for 1.21.2 as the latest file. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is open source under the MIT License.
