Crazy most of your points are poorly reasoned.

As many people have suggested, the rank requirements can easily be changed to accommodate the fact XP bottling has been removed.

Having a large xp farm is an advantage regardless of the bottling function. Removing bottling will reduce the advantage of having a big farm to bottle because no matter how efficient your farm you can’t bottle it.

Initially there will be a disadvantage to those without a villager farm, but the incredibly high emerald price for even the cheapest XP bottle trade (between 3-11 emeralds a bottle) will deter even the richest players being careless with XP bottles.

Removing bottling is intended to move PVP away from the hour long mending fights that it created.

And as for monopolising XP farms, we have just had a huge world border increase. I have seen plenty of people finding fresh double triple and even quad overworld spawners to rival any of the established, and more finite, guardian or blaze farms held by experienced players.

as browe said, and quoted from me, there is little to no risk with death. whats to stop someone from bottling thwir exp and jumping off a bridge? put all their items in a chest and jump. what do you lose? nothing. at all. except another death on your /stats. youre all thinking of short term changes. and youre all scared of change itself. everyone seems to think it is impossible to rank w/o exp bottles… know what? I got from lvl 1 to 80 on my own using a single zombie spawner. not impossible. difficult and annoying yes. impossible? (besides, if anyone read any of godsy’s replies, youd see he said he was considering changing the exp requirement for ranking) not at all. wanna know something? in vanilla, there is no /bottle. wanted to enchant? had to get exp like normal. getting rid of /bottle will dramatically change gameplay, making it more challenging. I think the challenge would be fun. you all want the game to be too easy; not everything can be handed to you on a silver platter.

I will say everyone did make good points really, the ones that I see as and agree with Gods on the change is the donators not having the ability to use exp to keep capping gifts, and like what Cysteen said yes they would cost more but then the stock of them will go down as some players will use them recklessly or just use up large stocks. Me personally I use mob grinders to repair my armor since I get resources and exp at same time and don’t bottle it xD. Those who usually have to carry 1 or more stacks of exp will have to think twice in do I want to lose them or use up my supply for nothing? I like the idea of people not just lasting more than maybe and roughly a 30min fight because they can repair armor in a fight with exp bottles, to me kills much of the have to hurry and finish this aspect of fighting. I could see why people would want it to stay and get rid of it but like Gods and others said just alter the exp given to certain ranks, make the exp requirements lower for ranking, if we use a exp multiplier for when players are logged on again give ranks certain amounts, kill the donators from being able to cap rank gifts, and lastly let player charge more for exp because yes the rich will get richer but supplies will go down and will even out but atleast then people will have to think twice. 😛

So i have a question on this. You put “<span style=”color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; background-color: #fbfbfb;”>I want to implement a XP multiplier plugin, so for events, or weekends or donations everyone online gets a multiplier of XP, say 1.5x XP for X amount of time”   </span>

On the part of Donations you would receive a perk as a donator? all the time or a 1 time?

I voted no. The reasons is because I had to rank up this way and it isn’t as hard as u think

I vote keep, because it’s useful. You can grind for hours and get mabey 100lvs, so you have earned that xp. When you bottle it, you preserve your work for mabey ; enchanting, mending , renaming, PvP or ranking up.

It’s not for the lazy, it’s for the clever. The clever work all day for xo then save it. If  you die with 70 lvs you loose it all. If you die with 2 stacks of bottles (to a natural cause) u can get them back.

Just my opinion.
