About XP Storage
From ModrinthA mod that lets you store your experience in multiple ways!
NO PORT TO FORGE PLANNED! (but feel free to port it by yourself and link it)
The mod is fully configurable to enable only changes that you like
Description
Never lose your levels again! Craft XP Books to store your experience and keep it safe from a coming death. Get it back whenever you want: read the book to retrieve it, or brew it in a brewing stand to create special Experience Bottles that can give you even more experience.
Upgrade your books with a smithing template so they store more and lose less. You can also pick one of the built-in data packs to play a completely different progression, without writing a single file. And if you like to tinker, the books, the upgrades and the brewing are all data-driven: tune them with your own data pack.
TO READ WHEN UPDATING FROM A VERSION OLDER THAN V1.6
⚠️ v1.6 UPDATE: XP Book II and III were removed, and item data changed! v1.6 converts everything: update to v1.6 first, open your world, and put your books in a crafting table to update them.
⚠️ Since v1.6.1, this conversion is gone: books and bottles that were not converted with v1.6 lose their content, so don't skip v1.6!
This is a short description, full description below.
Built-in data packs
Not a fan of the default progression? Since v1.6.1, the mod ships with ready-to-use data packs. They are disabled by default. Enable at most one:
Available data packs
| Data pack | XP Book | Upgrades | |---|---|---| | none (Default) | 15 levels, gives back 85%, 1 level per brewed bottle | Diamond (30 levels, 90%, 3), Netherite Ingot (50 levels, 95%, 5), Nether Star (100 levels, 100%, 10) | | Easy-Default xp_storage:easy_default | 15 levels, gives back 100% | Same as default, all at 100% | | Legacy xp_storage:legacy | 30 levels, gives back 100%, 1 level per brewed bottle | None | | Balanced-Legacy xp_storage:balanced_legacy | 30 levels, gives back 90%, 3 levels per brewed bottle | None | | OP-Legacy xp_storage:op_legacy | 100 levels, gives back 100%, 5 levels per brewed bottle | None |
- New world: Create World > More > Data Packs, then select one
- Existing world (needs cheats or operator; in singleplayer, use Open to LAN > Allow Cheats): each command reloads the data by itself, so there is no need for
/reload. The quotes are required, and tab completion adds them: /datapack enable "xp_storage:legacy"/datapack disable "xp_storage:legacy"to go back to the default progression- Dedicated server, new world:
initial-enabled-packs=vanilla,xp_storage:legacyinserver.properties
If several are enabled, only the topmost one in /datapack list is used, and operators get a warning. Your books keep their data: switching only changes the books crafted or upgraded afterwards.
FAQ
- Does it work on a server? Yes, it works on a server. The file is needed on both client and server
- Can I include it in my modpack? Yes, you are free to include this mod in your modpack
- Can I change the books, upgrades or bottles? Yes! Pick a built-in data pack, or write your own (see Customize with data packs below)
- For any other things: Feel free to share your experience, problems and enhancement ideas on the Discord server, or create an issue on GitHub

Recipes
Crystallized Lapis
- 4 Lapis Lazuli (it stores experience, so that makes sense)
- 1 Amethyst Shard (it's a precious gem)
XP Book
- Stores up to 15 levels without upgrades (data pack).
This means the experience to go from level 0 to level X! That's not the same amount as the experience from level Y to level X+Y!
- 1 Book (of course, it's a book)
- 4 Crystallized Lapis
Smithing Template
- Upgrades XP Books of any level, only the ingredient that goes with it changes
- 1 Diamond
- 8 Crystallized Lapis
Smithing Template Duplication
- 1 Smithing Template
- 4 Crystallized Lapis
How to use?
XP Book
- Store experience: Right click to store as much of your experience as the book can hold. If you have more experience than the book can hold, you keep the rest
- Retrieve experience: Right click while sneaking to get back 85, 90, 95 or 100% (depending on the book's level) of the experience stored in the book
