Instead of granting a fixed amount of XP for specific items, the mod calculates the reward from the materials used in the recipe and the type of item crafted.
How is XP calculated?
Example:
5 Iron Ingots × 3 XP × 1.5 Armor Multiplier = 22.5 XP
The mod recognizes:
- Armor
- Weapons
- Tools
- Other crafted items
- Items and materials added by other mods
Each item category can use a separate XP multiplier.
Derived material values
The mod can calculate the value of intermediate materials from their crafting recipes.
Examples:
- If an ingot is worth
3 XP, each of the 9 nuggets crafted from it is worth approximately0.33 XP. - A plate crafted from two ingots receives a value of
6 XP. - An item crafted from that plate uses its calculated material value.
Crafting intermediate materials does not grant Smith XP directly. This prevents infinite XP loops from reversible recipes, such as converting an ingot into nuggets and back again.
In-game configuration
Open the configuration screen with:
/smithxp config


The in-game interface allows you to:
- Select the item held in your main hand
- Browse every registered item from Minecraft and installed mods
- Search by item name or registry ID
- Assign custom XP values to materials
- Browse and remove existing rules
- Configure separate multipliers for armor, weapons, tools, and other items
- Preview the calculated value of a recipe
The configuration is saved in:
config/smith-xp-overlay.json
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge
- Jobs+ 9.x
The mod should be installed on the server because XP is calculated server-side. It must also be installed on the client to access the in-game configuration interface.
Players without the mod can connect to a server using it, but they will not have access to the configuration GUI.
Supported languages
- English
- Polish
The interface automatically uses the language selected in Minecraft.
Important information
Smith XP Overlay replaces the default Jobs+ crafting rewards for Smith tools and armor. This prevents experience from being awarded twice.
Compatibility with unusual or highly customized crafting systems from other mods may vary.
