Instant Experience
by Jden7
Instant Experience gives players the XP from a mob at the moment it dies, so no orbs have to be collected from the ground.
What it does
When a mob is killed, the experience it drops is added straight to the experience bar instead of appearing as orbs that must be walked over. The mod checks the area around the kill for XP orbs and adds their value to the bar at once. This removes the chase for scattered orbs that the vanilla game requires, which is most noticeable after fights where many mobs die in a short time.
The Ender Dragon is the main case the mod targets. Its experience is large, and in vanilla it is collected from orbs spread over the End. With Instant Experience, the total lands on the bar right after the dragon dies, so the level change appears without a wait. The mod runs on Fabric and is installed on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its files cover 26.1.2 – 26.3, and the latest file is 1.1.0 for 26.3, published on 2026-09-20.
The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its first public release was on 2026-06-15, and it is maintained by Jden7 in the Adventure category.
Key features
Instant XP from kills

Ender Dragon experience

No extra running

How it compares
Instant XP Gain is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, runs on Fabric with a client or server optional environment, and covers 1.20 – 26.2. Instant XP is server-side only under the MIT License, covers 1.21.11 – 26.1.2, and does not make the XP appear on the client without a server change. FastOrbs is also server-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 26.1 – 26.3, so it is a server-only choice for the same version range.

This mod enables you to instantly get XP from mobs without having to collect the orbs! There is an obvious flaw in long-ranged weapons in minecraft. After killing the mob, getting XP from it is pretty annoying. Another thing that's annoying about XP: it tends to slip away from you if there's a lot of it. This proves…
