Someone needs to fix the Bugs text, because that has been officially fixed by Jeb. 173.72.72.214 22:00, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Points?

In that tweet Notch talks about experience orbs being worth 1 point and breaking a tradition. Does anyone else think that experience orbs will break the &e0 score we get when we die? Finally have a score from eorbs? --Throex 15:13, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- With this I would have to it backs it up more.

Screenshot of the Buff Potion effects
You do know that Jeb tested potion effects/buffs, and not skillpoint related stuff in that picture from Twitter?
I edited and removed it, remember the spirit of a wiki imply you should take action, if you find something you know is wrong you don't have to be afraid to fix it yourself. Daropedia 16:25, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
Experience loss on death
In case someone deems it worthy to be added to the article, I recently died in the nether (because I'm stupid enough to go down there without flint&steel and get my portal shot by a ghast). I was level 19, built a small safe house, I put a chest inside and dropped all my stuff in it. I went out, lit myself in a random fire, ran back to the safe house, and died. When I went back to the nether to pick up the experience orbs I had dropped, it was barely enough to get me to level 1, halfway to level 2. This means, if you die you better forget about your exp, that was almost a complete experience loss. --Mokunen 04:21, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- I concur. I was at level 200-something and got sucked into lava by soul sand, also only dropped enough to get about halfway to level 2. FatherToast 04:47, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Remember that the fire/lava may have burned a large proportion of your orbs. Kill yourself with fall damage for an unbiased test. --HexZyle 05:38, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
"Sucked into lava by soul sand" It does that now? --Throex 05:42, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Trollol. I was wondering about that, but it's more important that I address what was relative to the page rather than if the statement was true or not. --HexZyle 06:15, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- I actually went and tested that last night after I read it. Set up different patterns of soul sand and then stood there.. NOTHING. And I really thought there was a feature in 1.9 no one had found yet. Might be a neat idea to have a block like that in the nether though. Soul sand would be the block of choice for that.. in my opinion. lol --Throex 18:24, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- But...you believed him? It's obvious there's SOMETHING fishy with his story when he said "200 skillpoints". He would at least have several diamond by then and have crafted a enchantment table --HexZyle 19:55, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

It seems this has been fixed in 1.9pre4. Now you drop a few orbs worth your full exp. at the moment of death. --Mokunen 03:12, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
- Wow that's pretty sweet. So the orbs have different values now! Maybe they should flash rainbow colours if they are worth more :P --HexZyle 03:41, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
- Actually seems like the devs had a similar idea... with the help of zombe's modpack, I've been doing some research on how much exp is needed for leveling, and I've found that hostile mobs (creepers, zombies, endermen, spiders and skeletons) drop 5 experience points on death, in the form of two orbs worth 1 point each, and one orb worth 3 points; looking very closely, the latter seems a tiny bit bigger than the former. --Mokunen 06:27, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

I saw a vid on youtube from BdoubleO100, he died at level3, recollected all his XP and his level was 11. Anyone had something similar to that or could try it out?
- You lose half your experience, which is enough to drop to about 75% of your previous level --HexZyle 12:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
Experience From Mobs
Does anybody know, how much experience the Mobs give? (in 1.9-pre4) I think I read somewhere that notch made it, so one orb is not always worth one point. Maybe someone has an idea on how to measure experience drops. And then it would be interesting how much Experience you need for each level (I would guess it can be described with a formula which grows exponentially). --Gitterrost4 14:18, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
- I will begin some tests on it soon. This link will contain my results. --HexZyle 05:59, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
- TESTS HAVE BEGUN! Please help by following the above link. The final project will be merged with this and the Experience Orb page --HexZyle 11:03, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
And do experience drops go up on higher difficulty levels?
- I'm in the middle of testing this. Seems that passive mobs drop same xp no matter what difficulty. I've yet to get around to hostiles. --HexZyle 11:57, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
- Tests have all been completed. All results from tests have been merged onto the page. --HexZyle 02:28, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Orbs Disappearing
I know that jeb added a section to the code that would only allow a certain amount of your orbs to drop on death to cut down on lag spots, but how come at sometimes more drop than at other times and I have also noticed that other times when water is involved, you lose ALL your orbs. I have tested this by reaching level 5 and killing myself in different instances. --Throex TALK|CONT 01:36, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
