Where does experience come from?

How much each source gives — according to Minecraft Wiki, for Java Edition.

Source Experience Note
Regular hostile mob 5 Zombies, skeletons, spiders, creepers. For each piece of equipment, gain 1–3.
Hostile mob cub 12 More than an adult: young creatures are harder to kill.
Blaze, Guardian, Elder Guardian 10 Twice as much as a regular mob.
The wither 50 Plus for the Nether star.
Ender Dragon 12 000 Only for the first kill; each subsequent kill gives 500.
Peaceful animal 1–3 Cow, Pig, Sheep, Chicken.
Breeding 1–7 For each newborn creature.
Fishing 1–6 For each catch, including trash.
Diamond and emerald ore 3–7 The richest ore in the game. Silk Touch does not yield any experience.
Lapis Lazuli ore, Nether quartz 2–5
Redstone Ore 1–5
Coal Ore 0–2
Nether Gold Ore 0–1
Spawner 15–43 Once — upon destruction.
Sculk 5 It is also a sensor, a creeper, and a catalyst.
Trading with a villager 3–6 For each trade.
Bottle o' enchanting 3–11 On average, 7 per item.

What to know about experience

  • Levels are not linear. The first ten levels require 160 points in total, while level 30 to 31 alone requires 112. Moving from level 25 to 30 therefore costs much more than moving from 5 to 10.
  • 30th level is the maximum enchantment level. The third enchanting-table slot reaches its maximum offer at level 30. Additional player levels do not improve that offer.
  • Enchanting consumes levels, not points. Enchanting spends up to three levels and the same number of lapis lazuli. With fifteen active bookshelves, the third slot requires level 30 but spends only three levels.
  • Experience is reset to zero upon death. When it falls to the ground, it gives only 7 experience points per level and no more than 100 — that's all that can be recovered; the rest is lost. From level 15 onwards, it drops the same hundred, so the higher the level, the more is lost.
  • A stone polish returns experience. A grindstone removes enchantments and returns some experience. An anvil only spends experience.
  • The game does not count beyond level 21863. The total experience no longer fits into the number the game stores it in.

Formulas and values verified against the Minecraft Wiki (Experience) and apply to Java Edition. The order of books in the anvil and its cost are calculated. anvil calculator, and find out how many bookshelves you need for level 30 in enchanting table.

Frequently asked questions

How much experience is needed to reach level 30?

1395 points — and the distance between levels is nonlinear: from level 29 to 30 requires 107 points, while from level 1 to 2 requires nine.

How much experience is lost upon death?

All: the counter resets completely. 7 points fall to the ground per level, but no more than 100 — and that hundred can be picked up again.

Why did enchantment take all levels?

The enchanting table spends levels, not a fixed number of experience points. A level-30 offer requires you to have 30 levels, but the third slot spends three levels and three lapis lazuli.
