XP Limiter by Time

XP Limiter by Time is a server-side mod that limits how many experience levels each player can gain during a configurable period.

The period can be configured in minutes, hours, or days. Once a player reaches the limit, they can continue playing normally but cannot gain additional levels until the period resets.

The mod supports experience gained from orbs, furnaces, experience bottles, commands, and other compatible sources.

Installation

Choose the .jar matching your Minecraft version and mod loader.
Place it inside the server’s mods folder.
When using Fabric, install Fabric API as well.
Start the server to generate the configuration file.
Players do not need to install the mod on their clients.
