Auto XP
If you have ever stood in a Minecraft farm, hurling Bottles o' Enchanting at your feet while praying your gear repairs evenly, you know the pain. The process is mind-numbing, wasteful, and easy to botch. The Auto XP mod for Minecraft solves this by turning a tedious chore into a one-key convenience. It is a client-side Fabric mod that automates Mending repair with Bottles o' Enchanting, letting you focus on building, exploring, or just enjoying the game instead of babysitting your inventory.
Why You Need Auto XP for Minecraft
Mending is a fantastic enchantment, but its repair mechanic requires you to collect experience orbs. The most efficient way to do this in a controlled setting is by throwing Bottles o' Enchanting. However, doing this manually means constantly switching hotbar slots, timing your throws, and watching your durability bars like a hawk. Auto XP for Minecraft eliminates all of that. You simply hold the designated key, and the mod takes over the entire process, from finding the bottles to stopping the moment your gear is whole again.
How the Mod Works
The genius of this mod lies in its simplicity. When you hold the activation key (default is X, rebindable in Options → Controls → Auto XP), the mod scans your hotbar for XP bottles. It automatically switches to them, throws them at a configurable pace, and then restores your original hotbar slot when you let go. The repair check covers everything a thrown bottle can actually mend: your main hand, off hand, helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots. This ensures no piece of gear is left damaged while you are wasting precious experience.
One of the best features is the automatic stop. The mod stops by itself the moment your gear is fully repaired, meaning no wasted bottles. It also stops with a clear message when you run out of bottles, so you are never left wondering why your throws have ceased. For those who prefer a hands-off approach, there is an optional toggle mode. Instead of holding the key, you press it once to start the process and press it again to stop. This is perfect for AFK repairs or when you need both hands free for a snack.
Key Features and Configuration
- Hold key: X (rebindable in Options → Controls → Auto XP)
- Optional toggle mode instead of hold-to-activate
- Action bar status messages such as "gear repaired" and "no XP bottles in hotbar"
- Pauses while any screen is open to prevent accidental throws
- Config file (config/autoxp.json) for fine-tuning
The configuration file is straightforward. You can adjust the delayTicks (default 3) to control the pause between throws, set toggleMode (default false) to switch between hold and toggle, and manage stopWhenRepaired (default true) to stop automatically when nothing is damaged. This level of control ensures the mod works exactly the way you want it to, regardless of your play style.
Installation and Requirements
Before you download Auto XP, you need to ensure your game is ready. The mod requires Fabric Loader 0.16+ and Fabric API, as well as Java 21. It is designed for Minecraft versions 1.21.9 through 1.21.11. You will need to download the file matching your specific game version. The mod is client-side only, so no server installation is needed. This makes it incredibly easy to add to your single-player worlds or on servers that allow client-side modifications.

After launching the game, you can verify the mod is active by checking the keybindings menu.

If you are using a launcher with a built-in add-on catalog, you can often find and install Auto XP directly from the launcher interface, bypassing manual file placement entirely.
Responsible Use and Final Thoughts
It is important to note that automation mods may be against the rules on some servers. Always check the server's rules before using Auto XP to avoid any penalties.
