Q&A

How much XP can I expect to gain from these farms?

Cactus farms generate a good amount of XP when smelted, while kelp farms can provide additional XP through dried kelp blocks. The exact amount will vary depending on the size of the farms and the smelting methods used.

What fuel should I use for smelting?

Bamboo or kelp are fuel-efficient options that can be used for smelting in the automated XP bank. They can be easily replenished and provide a sustainable source of energy.

Can I customize the indicator system in the XP bank?

Yes, the indicator system can be customized to suit your preferences. You can use redstone lamps, observers, or any other redstone components to create a visual indicator when the XP bank is full and ready for use.

How can I repair my tools using the XP bank?

To repair your tools, simply use an anvil and combine the damaged tool with the XP gained from the automated XP bank. This process will consume the XP and repair the tool, allowing you to continue using it.

Can I use this XP bank for enchanting?

While the primary purpose of the XP bank is to provide a convenient way to repair tools and gain levels, you can also use the XP gained from the farms for enchanting. Just make sure to have an enchanting table nearby!
