expTrade
by lunixialive
With expTrade installed on a server, players can hand experience levels to one another through chat-driven offers and a confirmation queue.
What it does
Players trade raw XP points with each other using commands. An offer can give levels, request levels or swap them in either direction, and the receiving player always makes the final decision. Offers are shown with clickable chat buttons to accept, decline, view the queue or cancel, so nothing needs to be typed after the initial command.
Each player keeps a personal incoming queue, capped at 10 offers by default. Offers expire after 60 seconds unless configured otherwise, and both sides are notified when that happens. Before an exchange is committed, a before-and-after readout shows both players' levels and XP, so no one agrees blind. Server owners can set a personal level floor that refuses any trade dropping below it, and operators can move XP between two online players through a two-step confirmation that bypasses those thresholds.
The mod works on Fabric and NeoForge and is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. Only the server needs it. Files are published for 26.3 with the latest build dated 2026-09-23, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
