[MCPE 1.21+] Forge XP Addon: Advanced Tool Leveling & RPG RPG System (Custom Tools Update)

Progress in vanilla Minecraft survival is often limited to obtaining better materials. You start with wood, move to iron, and eventually reach diamond or netherite. Once you have the best material, the progression effectively ends. Your efficiency remains static until you apply enchantments, but even then, there is no sense of the tool itself "growing" with your experience.

The Forge XP Addon introduces a technical RPG-style leveling system for tools in Minecraft Bedrock Edition. This script-based addon tracks every action performed with a tool—whether it is breaking a specific block or dealing damage to an entity—and translates that into Experience Points (XP). As your tool gains levels, it becomes physically more powerful, granting the player permanent status effects and mechanical advantages that were previously only possible through external mods or complex command blocks.

In this technical overview, I will detail the XP calculation logic, the progression tiers for each tool type, and the specific requirements to unlock the advanced "Pro Mode" features.

The Technical XP Engine

This addon operates using a dynamic listener script that hooks into the player's primary hand interactions. Unlike basic texture-based addons, Forge XP calculates rewards based on the technical difficulty and rarity of the task performed.

Progression Tiers and Rewards

The system is designed to reward consistent usage. The more a tool is used for its intended purpose, the faster it levels up. Below is the technical breakdown of the XP actions:

Tool Type	XP Action Trigger	Primary Benefit
Pickaxe	Mining Stone and Ores	Permanent Haste Effect
Sword	Defeating Living Entities	Increased Base Damage
Axe	Chopping Wood Logs	Bonus Resource Drops
Shovel	Excavating Dirt and Sand	Dig Speed Multiplier
Bow	Landing Successful Hits	Draw Speed & Damage

Free Mode vs Pro Access

To ensure balance for standard servers while offering high-end features for power users, the addon is divided into two distinct functional tiers.

1. Standard Leveling (Free Mode)

The base version focuses on the two most essential survival tools.

• Pickaxe & Sword Support: Full leveling capabilities for these two items.
• Max Level 10: A significant boost over vanilla stats, allowing you to reach the first tier of Haste and Strength.
• Visual Progression: A real-time progress bar appears above your hotbar when the tool is active.

2. Master Leveling (Pro Mode)

Unlocking the full script enables the complete RPG experience for all survival activities.

• Omni-Tool Support: Includes Axe, Shovel, and Bow leveling.
• Extended Progression: Max level increases from 10 to 50, allowing for Tier III effects.
• Bonus Drop Logic: High-level tools gain a mathematical chance to drop double resources or ignore durability damage (Unbreakable chance).
• XP Multiplier: Gain XP at a 2x rate to reach endgame levels faster.

Controls and Interface Navigation

I have designed the addon to be as non-intrusive as possible. All administrative and information tasks are handled through item-based interactions rather than chat commands.

Viewing Tool Statistics

To check the current XP, total blocks broken, or enemies defeated with your tools:

1. Hold a standard Book in your hand.
2. Crouch (Sneak) on the ground.
3. Long Press (Use Item) on the screen.
4. A detailed statistics panel will populate, showing data for all five tool types.

Unlocking Advanced Features

The Pro Mode features are encrypted within the script. To activate them globally for your world, you must utilize the Spyglass interface with the master key.

Activation Procedure:

1. Obtain a Spyglass.
2. Crouch (Sneak) and Long Press on the screen to open the Security Terminal.
3. Input the master authentication code displayed below.

Upon successful authentication, the script will display a "PRO MODE ACTIVATED" notification. From this point forward, all tools will support the extended level cap and bonus effects.

Installation and Script Requirements

Forge XP is a high-performance script addon. For the XP listener to function, you must enable specific engine permissions in your world settings.

1. Download the .mcpack file from the link below.
2. Import the file into Minecraft and activate the Behavior Pack.
3. Navigate to World Settings -> Experiments.
4. Turn ON "Beta APIs". This is mandatory for the script to calculate XP gains.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will this addon conflict with Unbreaking enchants?
No. The Unbreakable chance in Pro Mode is a separate logic check that occurs after the standard enchantment calculation. They stack for maximum durability efficiency.

2. Can I reset my tool levels?
Tool levels are bound to the specific item instance. If you craft a new pickaxe, it will start at Level 0. This encourages keeping and maintaining your legendary tools.

3. Does it work on custom items from other addons?
Currently, the script is optimized for the five vanilla tool categories. Custom items using external tags may not trigger the XP listener unless they inherit vanilla behavior tags.
