ExpChest
by 0nt1q
ExpChest is a NeoForge storage mod that stores experience points in a chest, with an Ender variant that makes the stored experience reachable from anywhere.
What it does
A player can keep experience in a simple experience chest instead of carrying it into dangerous places. The mod was built for players who want to save up experience without the risk of losing it to a creeper or another threat while gathering resources or going adventuring.
The Ender Exp Chest works the way the Ender Chest stores items: stored experience can be reached from any location. The storage follows the same non-linear logic as the game's own experience levels. Taking out four levels from a chest at level 22 does not return exactly four levels, because the experience needed per level is lower at the lower levels, so the result lands between 22 and 26.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released on 2026-07-16. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The author credits the original mod and its developer, Jesse Laning (jamolnng).
Key features
Experience chest
A chest that holds experience points so they can be kept safe between adventures.
Ender Exp Chest
A variant that gives access to the stored experience from any location, similar to how the Ender Chest works for items.
Non-linear storage
Withdrawals follow the game's experience curve, so a level taken out does not match a fixed amount of stored experience.
Risk-free stockpiling
Experience is held in a container, so it is not lost if the player dies while it is stored.
