Experience mechanic
Experience orb pickup
A player collects one Experience Orb every 0.1 seconds (2 game ticks), and orbs within 8 blocks fly toward the player.
Rules
| Pickup delay | After an orb is collected, 0.1 seconds (2 game ticks) pass before the next one can be collected. |
| Merged orbs | One visible orb can hold several orbs of the same value. Each pickup takes 1 of them, so a large pile is collected over time. |
| Attraction | An orb moves toward a player within 8 blocks, faster the closer the player is. Players in Spectator mode do not attract orbs. |
| Mending first | Collected experience first repairs damaged Mending items. What is left goes into the experience bar. |
