Well-Earned XP
by uhmbyee
Well-Earned XP is a Fabric data-driven mod that grants experience for in-game statistics such as mining, farming, crafting and exploring.
What it does
Experience is awarded when a tracked statistic changes, so players gain levels from ordinary play: crafting new items, looting chests, breaking tools and completing raids. The point is to reward building, mining, farming and exploring without pushing players toward experience farms or mob grinders.
Each engagement type is defined in a data pack file. The file path selects which statistic is watched, the category decides how it is matched, and the file sets how often it grants experience and how much. Default values can be overwritten at the same file path, and built-in engagement types can be disabled by setting the file contents to an empty object.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.1.1 for 26.3 as the latest file. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though public links to the source code and issue tracker exist.
Key features
Statistic-based rewards
Experience is granted from in-game statistics, so the rewards track what players actually do in the world.
Data-driven engagement types
Stats, categories, amounts and intervals are set in data pack files, and new stats can be added with a simple data pack.
Crafting and looting rewards
Items crafted, chests looted and fish caught can each grant a fixed amount of experience, as in the included examples.
Disable built-in types
A built-in engagement type can be turned off by replacing its file with an empty object, leaving the rest of the rewards in place.
