HealthXP
HealthXP grants experience from mob health, so defeating a mob with more hit points on its health bar yields more XP.
What it does
HealthXP is a lightweight Forge mod that scales the experience a player receives to the health of the mob defeated. Each half-heart a mob has adds to the XP gained, which makes fights against tougher creatures more rewarding and gives combat a clearer strategic weight. The mod is intended for survival and RPG-style play, and it pairs well with mod packs that change mob behavior.
Key features
Health-based XP
Experience gained from a kill grows with the mob's health, counted in half-hearts.
Rewards for tough enemies
Hunting mobs with high health pays more than defeating weak ones, so fights carry more reward.
Lightweight design
The mod adds only the health-based experience calculation and nothing else.
