No XP
by roland-a
No XP removes experience from the game, so XP orbs stop producing levels and players must rely on other sources for enchantments.
What it does
Installed with Fabric Language Kotlin, which it requires, the mod disables the experience mechanic entirely. XP orbs still spawn but do not give levels, and the XP bar appears by default on the screen while the other bars sit lower, as they did before experience was added. Anvils no longer need XP to repair, enchant or rename items, and enchanting tables remain usable for new enchantments.
Mending is changed, and loot tables are modified to make enchanted items more likely to appear in structures. Other mods can be installed to restore the removed functions or to add more enchanted loot. The mod is described as useful for players who find the XP mechanic too grindy and prefer to obtain enchantments from loot. Its settings live in an xp folder within the main config folder, and the XP bar is switched on by setting its option to true or false.
The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric only, with game versions 1.21.1, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, and the latest file is 2.0 for 26.1.2. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, although the source code and issue tracker are public.

What the author says
This mod completely disables the experience mechanic from the game. Useful if you feel that the XP mechanic is too grindy and you'd rather just loot structures for enchantments.
