XP Tools
Minecraft Forge mod for tweaking various things about XP in Minecraft. Primarily targeted at modpack developers.
About this Mod

This mod currently lets you change the XP drops of blocks and entities. It lets you specify lists of operations to perform on the XP drops of either all block/entities or specific ones (by ID or TAG). You can also specify a range for your value if you want a randomized amount. Operations are ordered by their specified priorities.
Note: This is a server-sided mod and the configuration file will be generated per-world inside the serverconfig folder.
Example configuration for block breaking:
The following sets the XP drops of all blocks to 0. Then it adds 0-10 XP for all blocks tagged #minecraft:mineable/shovel and sets the XP of blocks tagged #forge:ores to 2-5.
#Settings for block breaking
[block_breaking]
#Available operations: [SET, ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE]
#List of global operations. Format: '[operation],[min],[max],[priority]'
#Global operations are run before any unique operations.
#Examples:
#'set,0,0,0' - Sets the xp of all blocks to 0.
blockBreakGlobalOperations = ["set,0,0,0"]
#List of unique operations. Format: '[block_id/tag_id],[operation],[min],[max],[priority],[is_last]'
#Examples:
#'minecraft:dirt,set,2,2,0,true' - Sets the xp drop of the dirt block to 2, takes highest priority and stops any additional operations.
#'#forge:ores,multiply,1,2,1,false' - Multiplies xp drop of all blocks tagged forge:ores by 1-2, allows additional operations.
blockBreakOperations = ["#minecraft:mineable/shovel,add,0,10,0,false", "#forge:ores,set,2,5,0,false"]

Server lagging with XP Tools – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if XP Tools consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
