	Gathering experience points increases the player's experience level by gradually filling a bar on the bottom of the screen until a new level is achieved when the bar is full. When the player dies, they drop experience orbs worth ''7 * current level'' experience points, up to a maximum of 100 points<!-- confirmed from a source --> (enough to reach approximately 7.5 levels), and all of the other experience vanishes. If the gamerule <code>keepInventory</code> is set to true, the experience is kept even if the player dies.

However, mobs will only drop experience points if they are killed by a player or their tamed wolf, and not, for example, falling off a cliff.
	** A mob does not drop experience orbs unless it dies within five seconds (100 game ticks) of an attack registered as a player hit (including tamed [[Minecraft:wolves]], player thrown fireballs, and TNT). This allows gaining experience orbs from, say, knocking a monster off a cliff, lighting a mob on fire, etc. (fetching the orbs might be another question). The [[Minecraft:player]] can also try to "claim" a burning monster by hitting or shooting it once—even if the blow doesn't kill it, if the mob dies within 5 seconds, it drops experience orbs.		** A mob does not drop experience orbs unless it dies within five seconds (100 game ticks) of an attack registered as a player hit (including tamed [[Minecraft:wolves]], player-thrown fireballs, and TNT).

	The experience level costs were heavily revised in snapshot [[Minecraft:12w22a]] and [[Minecraft:12w23a]], and again in version 1.8. Before these, reaching level 50 (the maximum usable on a single enchantment) required 4625 experience, corresponding to defeating 925 hostile [[Minecraft:mob]]s (assuming the "common" ones.) Afterward, considerably less experience is needed to get into higher levels. Higher levels cost more experience than lower ones, but the levels are still easier to get than in [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.2.5\|1.2.5]]. Now, level 30 is the maximum for [[Minecraft:enchantments]], and that cost is equivalent of 279 "common" enemies, less than 1/3 the old price.

	** This was caused by an error with coloring the text.

	The experience level costs were heavily revised in snapshot [[Minecraft:12w22a]] and [[Minecraft:12w23a]], and again in version 1.8. Before these, reaching level 50 (the maximum usable on a single enchantment) required 4625 experience, corresponding to defeating 925 hostile [[Minecraft:mob]]s (assuming the "common" ones.) Afterward, considerably less experience is needed to get into higher levels. Higher levels cost more experience than lower ones, but the levels are still easier to get than in [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.2.5\|1.2.5]]. Now, level 30 is the maximum for [[Minecraft:enchantments]], and that cost is equivalent of 279 "common" enemies, less than 1/3 the old price.
