Smart Use XP
A Quality of Life (QoL) Minecraft mod that makes enchanting smarter, fairer, and removes the vanilla "high-level XP tax".
🌟 Features
In vanilla Minecraft, the experience system is flawed: dropping from level 50 to 47 costs significantly more raw experience points than dropping from level 30 to 27.
Smart Use XP introduces a brand new block—the Smart Enchanting Table—which fixes this exact issue!
- Fair Enchanting Cost: The table calculates the exact raw XP needed for the enchantment tier (1, 2, or 3 levels) as if you were exactly at the required level, and safely refunds the remaining experience points to the player.
- Vanilla Feel: Retains the classic UI and floating book animations you know and love, but works fairly behind the scenes.
- Balanced Progression: You no longer need to run to the enchanting table the exact moment you hit level 30 just to avoid wasting experience!
