About this project
What does The Printer add?
This mod adds a machine into the game that can print any item from XP. Place an item into an empty printer and start sneaking to deposit experience! Jumping while sneaking lets you deposit more XP at a time.
When the XP bar is full, the printing process begins! A translucent item will appear above the machine and slowly become more opaque over time. You can take it out once it's completely solid!
