Experience Shards
by DawnKiro
Experience Shards is a storage mod for players who want to keep experience points in a throwable item rather than in the bottle or the player's level bar.
What it does
Charging starts when an echo shard drops onto a top enchanting table, which lets the shard absorb nearby experience orbs and hold them as points. The shard pulls experience from the nearest player at 20 points per second and can carry up to 800 points, which other players can add to by putting it into a chest. Experience Shards requires a server and runs there, while clients may leave it out. It is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 6 release versions, 1.19 – 1.20, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Experience stored in shards
Points collected from a nearby player are held inside the shard until they are used.
Absorption at 20 points per second
A charging shard pulls experience from the closest player at a fixed rate.
Shared storage in chests
Other players can add points to a shard by placing it in a chest, up to a limit of 800 points.

This datapack allows you to store experience points in Echo Shards. To begin charging an echo shard, drop it on top of an enchantment table. The shard will then absorb experience from the nearest player with any points, at 20 points per second. Each shard can carry up to 800 points, and can be given to other players…
