Smile's XP Storage
by SmileLulz
Smile's XP Storage lets players store experience points inside an item, so XP can be carried and withdrawn later.
What it does
Players store XP by sneaking and right-clicking while holding the item in the main hand, and withdraw it with a plain right-click. The item can be renamed so that each XP storage item is simple to tell apart in a chest or inventory. A block can also be turned into an item and placed back as a block, which keeps the XP storage item usable when it is set down.
The server owner controls the limits. The maximum amount of XP each item can hold is set per item, and a blacklist keeps chosen items from being used for storage. These values are kept in a server-side settings file. Changes can be made while the server runs, through direct configuration commands, and the old reload command has been replaced by smilesxpstorage reload.
The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and runs on the server alone, so clients join without installing it. Installing it requires Fabric API. One limitation is noted by the author, and a client-side install is needed to display the XP held in an item's tooltip.

Use cases
Carrying XP between sessions
A player can bank experience in an item and spend it later without carrying the full level count.
Renamed storage items
Renaming storage items lets a player keep several separate XP stores in one base.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want XP stored in items and adjustable limits, and players on servers that run the mod. Clients do not need the mod to join a server that runs it.
How it compares
Server Storage Item Frame runs on the server alone with the same environment, but it targets 26.1.1 and is licensed under the MIT License. XPGui is a client and server mod for Fabric and NeoForge, 1.19.2 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

What the author says
Smile's XP Storage mod adds a storage feature where you can now store your Experience Points to ANY ITEM you want. One limitation: If you make a block item an XP item, then place that block - it will be no longer an XP item.
