XP Tools - Experience Storage & Risky Conversion

✨ Features

New: Hammer of Experience

This update introduces the volatile Hammer of Experience! Available in four variants: Iron, Copper, Gold, and Diamond.

• Charging Mechanic:

  • Hold the hammer and Right-click to consume 1 experience level per use to charge it.
  • Charging significantly increases the hammer's attack damage.

• Risk Mechanic - Overload Explosion!

  • Each hammer has an experience limit. Exceeding this limit causes the hammer to explode!
  • The explosion is slightly weaker than TNT, destroys terrain, and damages all nearby entities (but not the player who caused it).
  • The hammer is destroyed in the explosion. Charge with caution!

• Visual Feedback:

  • The hammer has 3 distinct textures that change based on its charge level, providing a clear visual indicator of the current risk.

• Crafting:

  • Crafted with a new recipe:

    a = Create Experience Nugget
    b = Metal Block (Iron/Copper/Gold/Diamond)
    c = Stick
    
    Pattern:
    a b a
    a c a
    a c a
    

Original: XP Tool

The original XP Tool remains, offering a stable and safe way to convert experience.

• Primary Function (Right-click): Consumes 3 experience levels to generate one Create Experience Nugget.
• Special Attack: When used as a weapon, each hit causes the target to drop 3 Experience Nuggets.
• Durability & Enchanting: Has 32 durability and can be enchanted with Unbreaking, Mending, and Curse of Vanishing.
