Skelun's XP Reward System

Experience is granted for specific activities such as mining, cutting, digging, farming and traveling. Receiving XP for mining, cutting, digging and farming requires using an appropriate tool, so bare-handed actions give less or nothing. Some actions pay out reduced XP: ice, boating, rails, bugs, and travel done with a speed-boosting item. Certain enchantments and conditions also change the amount, for example walking underwater while wearing Depth Strider.

The mod is meant to stop experience from being trivially farmed. Without limits, chilling on ice, gathering materials with mob-spawning builds or enchanting everything from automatic farms can produce huge totals, and this system rebalances those sources. Server owners control the values through the mod's settings file.

The mod is open source under the MIT License and only the server needs it, so players may add it for their own client but do not have to. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, across 1.16.1 – 1.21.1 and later builds. It supports the Right-Click Harvest mod and data packs that break several blocks at once, such as vein miners and timber.
