Tomes of Experience
by hanskroner
Tomes of Experience lets players store experience points in six tomes of increasing capacity, and later take them back out.
What it does
Six tomes, named Tome Minor Experience through Tome Major Experience, hold experience points. Using a tome with the right mouse button transfers points between the tome and the player who holds it, and sneaking while using it reverses the direction. The tomes are meant to be held in the main hand.
The tomes can be crafted in game, and their attributes can be set in the configuration file. The wiki describes each tome, its crafting recipe and how to adjust the settings. Tomes of Experience is a Fabric mod that needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API; Mod Menu is optional and provides a settings screen. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Six capacity tiers
Each tome in the series stores a different amount of experience, arranged in a fixed hierarchy from minor to major.
Two-way transfer
A right-click moves points into or out of the tome, and sneak plus right-click switches the direction.
Craftable tomes
All six tomes can be crafted in survival, with recipes that the configuration can change.
Configurable attributes
Values for the tomes are set in the configuration, which the wiki explains step by step.

Use cases
Storing experience between sessions
A player can bank points in a tome during one play session and withdraw them later, instead of spending them at once.
Who it’s for: Players who want to keep experience points in an item, and server owners who want the same storage available to every player.
How it compares
Tome Reader is also an MIT-licensed Fabric mod with client and server support, but it targets 1.20 – 1.21 rather than the broader range here. Magic Library shares the MIT License and client and server environment, and is published for 1.21.4 – 26.3. SG Exp Storage is open source under the MIT License but runs client-side only, so servers do not need it.
