About this project
What does Experience Book & Shard add?
Overview
This datapacka adds a way to easily store player XP into "Experience Books" eliminating the hassle of regaining XP lost on death. There are three tiers of Experience Books which have different storage capacities and transfer rates. There are also "Experience Shards" which allow the user to drop xp on the ground, allowing for the mending of items.
XP is measured in points due to the exponential increase of level requirements. (No unfair duplication of xp)
Usage
Simply craft the item, and right click to store xp. Then, later, you can shift right click to retrieve stored xp. The amount stored can be viewed by hovering over the item in your inventory.
Details
Tier 1
- Can store 500 points
- Can transfer 10 points per tick

Tier 2
- Can store 5000 points
- Can transfer 100 points per tick

Tier 3
- Can store 50000 points
- Can transfer 1000 points per tick

Experience Shard
