Progression System

​
Experience Points (XP)

In 0.2.0, XP is based on:
  1. Monster level - Higher-level monsters give more base XP
  2. Level difference - How close the monster’s level is to yours. Same-level or ±5 gives the best XP; much easier or much harder content is penalized
Best strategy: Fight monsters within ±25 levels of you, ideally ±5. Stay in green zones on the HUD. See Formulas for the full math and Overview for zones.

​
Other XP sources (0.3.9)

The Harvest stat does not change XP; it adds a chance for double or triple crop yield on harvest. See Stats Level Config.

​
Leveling Up

When you have enough XP, you level up. Each level up:
  • Awards stat points (configurable, default 5 per level)
  • Resets XP to 0 (excess carries over)
  • Updates the HUD
  • Sends a level-up notification

​
Zones and HUD Colors

The HUD shows your current zone and its color: Pro tip: If the zone name is green, you’re in the right place for the best XP.

​
XP Reducer (Underleveled Penalty)

When the monster is higher level than you (you are underleveled), the plugin can reduce the XP you get - so fighting far above your level does not reward full XP. This is controlled by EnableGapLevelXpReducer in config. How it works:
  • EnableGapLevelXpReducer: true (default) - XP is reduced when you are underleveled. The bigger the level gap (monster above you), the harsher the penalty (see table below).
  • EnableGapLevelXpReducer: false - No XP reduction for being underleveled. You always get full base XP (1.0×) from higher-level monsters, regardless of gap.
Level difference (monster level − your level) only affects XP when the monster is above your level. When the monster is at or below your level, the multiplier is unchanged (same-level bonus, slight reduction for trivial content, etc.). See Formulas for the full level-difference table.

​
XP multiplier when underleveled (monster above you)

Example: You are level 30, monster is level 60 (gap +30). With reducer on: you get 50% XP (0.5×). With reducer off: you get full XP (1.0×). Config: EnableGapLevelXpReducer in mods/Zuxaw_RPGLeveling/RPGLevelingConfig.json. Default: true. See Configuration or Difficulty Scaling.

​
Death Penalty (Optional)

Optional death penalty (same as 0.1.9):
  • Disabled by default - Enable in config
  • When enabled (ResetLevelOnDeath: true): level reset to 1, lose all XP, clear stat allocations, reset available points
  • Creates a hardcore experience
To enable: Set "ResetLevelOnDeath": true in mods/Zuxaw_RPGLeveling/RPGLevelingConfig.json, then restart the server.

​
Stat Points

Stat points are earned on each level up. Allocate them via the GUI (/lvl gui) to any of the available stats. Allocated stats apply as permanent modifiers. Available points: (Current Level - 1) × StatPointsPerLevel Example: Level 10, 5 stat points per level → (10 − 1) × 5 = 45 points See Formulas for progression speed and stat totals at max level.
