Description
Overview
This mod rewards the player experience when crafting and is highly configurable.
Detailed explanation
The default settings reward the player with experience when crafting items, gradually decreasing the amount awarded with each subsequent craft. Once an item has been crafted three times, it will only grant 1 XP (sticks being the exception, giving 0 XP). This helps maintain balance by preventing easy recipes from being farmed for experience. All crafting XP counters are reset when the player eats an enchanted golden apple or successfully sleeps.
Don’t like one or all of the default settings? No problem — you can easily adjust everything in the config, which includes explanations for each option. I’ve also included the full config below, so you don’t need to download the mod just to see what’s customizable :)
Default Config preview
[crafting_first_time_xp]
# Base XP awarded for crafting any item for the first time.
# - Format: min,max (both accept 0 to 1000)
# - XP is randomly chosen between these two values.
# - Example: "1,5" gives 1 to 5 XP per craft.
#
crafting_first_time_xp = "1,5"
[max_crafting_xp_times]
# Maximum number of times XP is awarded for crafting the same item.
# - Accepted values: -1 to 1000 (-1 = unlimited)
# - Example: 3 → first 3 crafts give XP, subsequent crafts give min_crafting_xp.
#
max_crafting_xp_times = 3
[min_crafting_xp]
# Minimum XP awarded once an item has been crafted max_crafting_xp_times times.
# - Accepted values: 0 to 1000
# - Example: if min_crafting_xp = 1 then crafts after the limit give 1 XP.
#
min_crafting_xp = 1
[scaling_mode]
# How XP decreases as you repeatedly craft the same item.
# - "none": XP stays constant until max_crafting_xp_times is reached.
# - "linear": XP decreases evenly down to min_crafting_xp.
# - "slow_to_fast": XP decreases slowly at first, then more quickly near the limit.
# - "fast_to_slow": XP decreases quickly at first, then more slowly near the limit.
#
scaling_mode = "linear"
[ingredient_xp]
# List of ingredients that give extra XP when using them to craft.
# - For each matching ingredient in the recipe, a random XP within the specified range is awarded
# - Format: item_id=min,max
# - min and max accepted values: 0 to 1000
#
ingredient_xp = ["minecraft:diamond=1,3", "minecraft:netherite_ingot=2,5"]
[reset_triggers]
# When true, sleeping in a bed will reset the player's crafting XP counters.
#
enable_sleep_reset = true
# Items that trigger a crafting XP reset when eaten.
# - Format: list of item IDs, e.g. "minecraft:enchanted_golden_apple"
# - Default includes the enchanted golden apple.
#
xp_reset_trigger_items = ["minecraft:enchanted_golden_apple"]
[whitelist_blacklist]
# When true, the whitelist is used: only items listed in whitelist_items will give XP.
# When false, the blacklist is used: all items give XP except those in blacklist_items.
#
whitelist_mode = false
# Items that grant XP when whitelist mode is enabled.
# - Format: list of item IDs, e.g. "minecraft:diamond_sword"
# - If empty and whitelist_mode = true, no items will grant XP.
#
whitelist_items = []
# Items that are blocked from granting XP when whitelist_mode is false (blacklist behavior).
# - Format: list of item IDs, e.g. "minecraft:stick"
# - If empty and whitelist_mode = false, no items are blocked (all items can grant XP).
#
blacklist_items = []
[overrides]
# Per-item overrides. Each entry must begin with the item id. Everything after is optional.
# - Format examples:
# "minecraft:diamond_sword;xp=5,10;maxTimes=3;minXp=1;scalingMode=linear"
# "minecraft:cake;maxTimes=1;scalingMode=none"
# - Behavior:
# * If xp is provided (xp=min,max) it replaces BOTH base XP and ingredient XP for that item.
# * maxTimes, minXp and scalingMode override the global values for that item only.
# * If a setting is omitted, the global/default value is used.
# - Note: Whitelist/blacklist rules take precedence.
#
overrides = ["minecraft:stick;minXp=0"]
[debug]
# Enable detailed per-recipe XP debug messages in chat.
# - true → show base XP, ingredient XP, scaling, and total XP per craft.
# - false → no debug messages.
#
show_xp_rolls_in_chat = false
