Sculk Vials (xp tome)
by dvirov
Sculk Vials is a data pack that adds a Sculk Vial item, which stores experience up to 30 levels and can be emptied back into the player.
What it does
Sculk Vials adds a Sculk Vial item that players use to store experience. Right-clicking with the vial stores experience, and Shift with a left click withdraws stored experience again. The stored amount is kept on the item, so a vial can be carried and used later. A single vial holds up to 30 levels of experience.
The data pack is installed in the world's datapacks folder, and the mod version and the Smithed conventions it follows are listed on the version page. The server needs the mod, while players can join without it; a matching resource pack adds the textures on the client, and its version must match the data pack version. The data pack is tuned to run with a single ticking advancement to keep performance steady. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
The mod runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt through the data pack, and Fabric requires Fabric API. Files exist for 1.21 – 26.3 across 15 release versions, with the latest file 3.0.1+mod for 26.3 published on 2026-10-14. Known incompatibilities with other mods are listed by the author.
