According to Jeb during an interview,[1] Experience Points will be added as a new aspect of gameplay to Minecraft. The development of Experience is being undertaken by Notch. Experience can be obtained by gathering Experience Orbs from defeated mobs.[2] Gathering experience points will increase the player's levels by gradually filling a bar on the bottom of the screen until a new level is achieved when the bar is full. Each level up will reward the player with Skill Points[3], which Notch has said may be used for buying things such as increased jump height and increased maximum health.[2][4]
Jeb_ stated on Twitter that experience orbs will not be obtainable unless you kill the creature yourself[5], meaning grinders will not give you experience orb.
Jeb recently released a picture of the 1.8 GUI list, which shows the experience bar, among other things in there.
