Acknowledgements:
Prior to the release of v2.0.0, this mod was originally called "Experience Obelisk" and added a single block of the same name. It was intended to provide the functionality of EnderIO's experience obelisk to versions of Minecraft for which it was not available for at the time. Without EnderIO, this mod would not exist! Massive thanks to the EnderIO team for creating the mod we know and love.
