Rob's Craftable XP
by RobRyo49
Rob's Craftable XP lets players craft XP bottles from lapis lazuli, iron, gold, diamonds and other materials instead of finding them only in the world.
What it does
XP bottles become a craftable item in this mod. Each bottle recipe uses a set of common and rare materials, such as lapis lazuli paired with iron, gold or diamonds, so crafting an XP bottle depends on what a player has gathered while exploring. Structures and loot that were previously of little use gain a purpose as sources of these materials.
The mod changes only the crafting recipes for XP bottles and runs on the server side. Players join a server running it without installing anything, and the server owner sets it up alone. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering game versions 1.16 – 26.2 with a file for each version listed in the catalog.
The license is the MIT License, and the mod is not open source in the sense of publishing its full source under open terms. Rob's Craftable XP requires no dependencies, so it can be added to an existing modpack without other installs.
Key features
XP bottle recipes
XP bottles can be crafted at a crafting table, so a player no longer needs to obtain them only as drops or rewards.
Varied material recipes
Recipes combine lapis lazuli with iron, gold or diamonds, and single-ingredient options use bottles or lapis lazuli alone.
Rewards for exploring
Diamonds and other materials found in structures give exploration a practical return through XP production.
Server-side operation
The mod works without client installation, so players join a modded server without adding files to their game.

You can now craft XP-Bottles using varying resources: - 4 Lapis-Lazuli -> 1 Bottle - 2 Lapis-Lazuli + 2 Iron -> 1 Bottle - 2 Lapis-Lazuli + 2 Gold -> 2 Bottles - 2 Lapis-Lazuli + 2 Diamonds -> 4 Bottles Now exploring and getting resources from structures isn't useless anymore, even if you have full diamond armor.
