XPDispenser
# XPDispenser
A Minecraft Bukkit plugin to throw your XP at yourself (e.g. to repair your mending tools).
## What is it?
XPDispenser allows you to throw XP orbs at yourself by using your currently collected XP points.
The collected XP points can be used to repair tools and armor enchanted with the mending enchantment. In that way, you are able to reuse your already collected XP points to repair your tools and armor.
## Permissions
Currently, there is only one permission available which controls whether a player is allowed to use this plugin: `xpdispenser` (Default: everyone)
## How to use it?
Simply place a sign at any location with the text `[XPDispenser]` at the first line.
Optionally, the second line contains the amount of XP points to be thrown in a single time (defaults to 10, if not given on the sign).
So, if you want to get 50 XP points, you can place a sign with the following content:
* First line: `[XPDispenser]`
* Second line: `50`
After correctly placing the sign, the color of the first line will change to blue.
To use the sign, simply interact with it (i.e. right click on it) while having the tool and/or armor to repair equipped.
### Why use a sign instead of a command?
It’s simple: I just don’t like to execute commands as a normal player, but I like to interact with the environment just like you would do in real life.
In case of this plugin, you could see the sign as some type of machine which will dispense some XP orbs.
## Build
You can build the project in the following 2 steps:
* Check out the repository
* Build the jar file using maven: *mvn clean package*
**Note:** JDK 1.8 and Maven is required to build the project!

## Description
For the best experience, use version 1.21.4 or above. Below that, the enchantment glint will be present on the xp bottle. This pack was tested on version 1.21.9. This pack is incompatible with shaders.
This is a pack that changes experience points into coins. It retextures the experience bar, experience bottle, the orbs themselves with an animation, it adds new sounds, recolors some text, and uses the language file to change some names of things.
This pack was made for the One Texture at a Time ranked texture pack jam. I chose to retexture the experience orb, which itself is displayed in the experience bar ui and also has a corresponding item texture (the experience bottle). Since it’s impossible to animate entity textures with a texture pack, I had to use core shaders to shrink the uv and snap it to different points in the textures based off the GameTime variable. I also wanted to make the experience bottle into a sack of coins, but it felt off with the forced crashing sound the game makes. I also had to use core shaders to remove the enchantment glint on the bottle, remove the particles from the bottle when it hits the ground, recolor the text in different uis to match the coins, and remove the green tint from the experience orbs.
Thanks to girlthatbites for creating the textures and the icon, as well as P4ncake for creating the sounds.

XP Tome
### Functionality
This mod adds a single item – the XP Tome. With the XP Tome you can store and retrieve XP. It can store up to 1395 XP by default (can be configured), which equals to having 30 levels on the XP bar.
### Usage
– Sneak + right-click to store XP
– Right-click to retrieve XP
### Recipe
### Config/Item Components
Note: For item components, “true” means the component is on the item, and “false” means it isn’t.
Note: If you want to change the default item components of the XP Tome you can still use the config file, however that comes with caveats explained therein. Consider creating a Data Pack and override the XP Tome’s recipe with the components set as you wish. Here’s an example recipe. More info about data packs and recipes on the wiki!
– *max_xp* – The maximum amount of XP points that the XP Tome can hold. The default value (1395) represents having 30 levels on the XP bar.
– *retrieval_percentage* – The percentage of XP that the book will give back, as a sort of cost of using it. Example: If this config value is set to 0.75, and an XP Tome has 100 XP stored, attempting to retrieve these 100 XP will give back 75 XP. Note: This will not be 100% accurate, as Minecraft’s XP does not use decimals.
– *retrieve_until_next_level* – Setting this to true will remove only as much XP from the book at a time as is needed for the player to reach their next level.
– *retrieve_xp_orbs* – Setting this to true will remove XP from the book in XP orb form. This is useful if you want to use XP from the book for tools enchanted with Mending.
– *store_until_previous_level* – Setting this to true will store only as much XP from the player’s XP bar until reaching the previous level, meaning only one level at maximum will be added to the book’s storage at a time.
The configuration file for Minecraft versions 1.14.4-1.20.1 can be found in the serverconfig folder of your world.
### Further Info
This mod was created by me, following a request by Shivaxi. It is based off of XP Book and was recreated due to a duplication bug in the original mod, as well as a bug which causes the enchanting table to reset each time the book is used. As this mod uses the same modid and item id as the original, the two mods can not be installed at the same time and switching between them will not lose you any items. I did not take any code or assets from the original mod.
You are allowed to use this mod in any modpack.
