As of right now, you can only get experience orbs from killing animals and enemies. That's fine and all, but I suggest that you get experience points for doing everything else as well. Things such as mining, farming, and fighting would contribute to your level progression. For mining, obviously, the longer something takes to mine, the more experience you get. This can be expanded further, but that's all I can think of for now. Well, what do you guys think is this something you guys think would make a nice addition to the game?

Anyone who took a look at Experience Points (XP). The only real distinctions XP provides are its mining algorithm. The Smart Mining Pool.

It's a good point, after some test with 'Level Up!' Mod I can assure that it's pretty fun. I don't share yours 'the longer something takes to mine, the more experience you get', considering that redstones are way more common than diamonds this will unbalance the exp system.

Also the experience could be related to others activities, for example farming, chopping wood and crafting. Even placing a certain numbers of blocks should give some exp (very low). Another cool thing would be add exp every time you explore a new chunk (should be balanced very well to avoid exploit, also the experience should be related to the distance of the chunk to the original spawn) • • • •.
