Experience Bottle Recycler
by RedSkeleton
Experience Bottle Recycler, a Forge mod for 1.20.1, lets players press R to open a screen that converts spare experience points into bottles of enchanting.
What it does
Each experience bottle costs 7 XP points, so the screen turns excess experience into a portable form that can be stored, kept for later enchanting or shared with friends. The conversion is a fixed exchange rate, set so that storing experience is neither too cheap nor too expensive.
The mod adds one interface and one conversion rule rather than new blocks or systems, which keeps it light. It fits into lightweight modpacks that need a simple way to manage experience without extra complexity. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player install it, and it is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1. The code is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
