XPiggy Bank
Experience points are one of the strangest resources in Minecraft. You earn them constantly, yet managing them in large quantities is a hassle. Dying near lava can wipe out dozens of levels in seconds, and hauling stacks of bottles o' enchanting around is hardly elegant. XPiggy Bank solves this problem by turning experience into a fluid you can store, move, and retrieve on demand. It is a small, focused mod that does one job extremely well, and it fits neatly into both technical and casual playstyles.
What the XPiggy Bank Block Does
At its core, this mod adds a single block: the XPiggy Bank. Right-click it and a simple interface opens where you can deposit or withdraw experience using buttons for 10, 100, 1000, or all of your XP. That means you can bank your levels before a dangerous expedition and pull them back out once you are safe. No more losing hours of progress to one unlucky creeper explosion.
The block also handles experience in fluid form. It stores your XP as Liquid Experience, and it can be configured to accept compatible fluids from other mods as well. If you prefer piping experience around your base instead of carrying it, the XPiggy Bank supports that too. Fluids can be piped in and automatically converted, and a compatible fluid can be piped out when you need it elsewhere.
Collecting XP Orbs Automatically
One of the most convenient features is passive orb collection. By default, the XPiggy Bank pulls in experience orbs within a 9x9 area, converting them straight into stored experience. This is perfect for mob farms, where orbs would otherwise pile up on the floor or lag your world. The pickup function can be disabled in the config if you would rather handle orbs manually, and the collection interval defaults to every 10 ticks, or twice per second.
Fluid Configuration and Compatibility
The mod is built with modpack authors in mind, and the configuration options reflect that. You can define which fluids count as experience and set individual conversion rates for each one. For example, a fluid that is hard to obtain might convert at 1:1, while an easier one could be set to 100:1 to keep things balanced. The tank size is configurable as well, and the default is enormous: 20 million mB, which works out to roughly 2,125 levels of Liquid Experience.
You can also change the XPiggy Bank's output fluid type using the arrows above the tank image in the interface. This does not affect manual storage or retrieval, and any supported fluid can still be piped in and converted automatically. It only changes which fluid type can be piped out, giving you fine control over how your experience network operates.
Supported Versions and Loaders
XPiggy Bank is available for modern Minecraft releases and is distributed as a Forge mod, with NeoForge support depending on the build. Before you download XPiggy Bank, check that the file matches your Minecraft version and loader, since mismatched builds are the most common cause of crashes on startup. If you run a modpack, the mod is explicitly allowed in packs, so there is no need to ask for permission.
If you use the foxygame.net launcher, you can add XPiggy Bank straight from its built-in add-on catalog, and the launcher keeps it updated automatically whenever a new build appears. That saves you from manually hunting down the right jar for every Minecraft version you play.
How to Install
- Confirm your Minecraft version and whether you run Forge or NeoForge.
- Install the matching loader for your game version first.
- Place the XPiggy Bank jar file into your mods folder.
- Launch the game once to generate the config file.
- Edit the config to set fluids, conversion rates, tank size, and collection radius.
After installation, craft or obtain the block, place it near your mob farm or storage room, and start banking experience. If you need help using the mod in a pack, the author offers support through Discord, and bugs or suggestions can be reported on the project's GitHub repository.
Final Thoughts
XPiggy Bank is a compact solution to a problem most players ignore until it costs them something. It turns volatile experience points into a manageable, pipeable resource, and its deep configuration options make it a natural fit for modpacks of any size. Whether you want a safe place to stash your levels or a fully automated experience pipeline, this mod delivers exactly what it promises.
