FastExpPickup

by DonBarz

FastExpPickup shortens the wait between experience orb pickups on a Fabric server, letting players collect orbs at a configurable rate.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.3

What it does

The mod changes how quickly a player can collect experience orbs. A server owner sets the number of ticks that must pass between two possible orb pickups, which makes collection faster than the default delay. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything.

Files are published for Fabric and target 1.21.3 only. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code is public. The latest Fabric file, 1.0.0, was first published and last updated on 2024-11-20.

Key features

  1. Configurable pickup delay

    The tick interval between two orb pickups is set in the configuration, so server owners choose the rate.

  2. Faster orb collection

    Players gather experience orbs at a higher rate than the vanilla pickup delay allows.

  3. Server-only install

    The change runs on the server, and clients join without needing the mod.

What the author says

pickup delay: sets the time in ticks between two possible orb pickups but I would just use the Clumps mod for better performance once its out for the newer Versions
