XpBeacons
XpBeacons lets server owners tie beacon effects to the experience levels a player spends, so stronger effects cost more XP.
What it does
Beacon status effect amplitude is directly and linearly related to the player's XP level. Placing a beacon at XP level 0 gives resistance 1, while a higher level raises the amplitude. With default settings, a player at 8000 XP levels can select resistance at amplitude 4, and the mod is built to let players survive a 100 m fall while wearing armor. Its per-effect settings can be changed to balance this further.
XP points are slowly consumed while beacons are in use, so keeping effects active is an ongoing cost. The reach of a beacon is half its side length and changes with the beacon pyramid level, and the duration of effects is configurable. The behaviors can be adjusted through the Carpet rule carpet xpbeacons. The mod is server-side only and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. It requires Carpet, and it works with the Fabric Carpet extension to offer configuration options described on the wiki.
Key features
XP-scaled amplitude
Beacon effect amplitude rises linearly with the player's XP level, so higher levels reach stronger effects.
Ongoing XP cost
Active beacons slowly draw XP points, making sustained effects a continuing trade-off rather than a one-time payment.
Per-effect configuration
Duration, amplitude and balance can be set separately for each beacon effect, and beacon reach follows the pyramid level.
Highlight for XP-based effects
A unique highlight marks beacons whose effects are driven by experience, so players can see which beacons are scaled.
