Add experience orb drops to loot tables instead of being hardcoded.

Are the loot tables hardcoded (which they are)? Are the experience orb drops hardcoded (which they are)? Are you saying that they should not be hardcoded? Are you saying that experience orbs should be part of loot tables? I think the last question is correct. I will base this comment on it.
Loot tables are arrays of items. It would be impossible to add entities to a list of items.

In java, you can modify the loot tables using data packs.
"Loot tables are arrays of items. It would be impossible to add entities to a list of items."
That's exactly what this suggestion is about. To add a "type": "experience" to loot tables. There's currently a "type": "loot_table", "type": "empty" and "type": "item" right now.It's not impossible. No idea what you're talking about there. They code stuff, it's possible. -
I will try to explain.
Loot_table = {Items.iron_ingot, 3, Items.gold_ingot, 2, Items.diamond, 1};
Actions.drop_items(Loot_table);
Actions.spawn_entity(Experience_orb.class, 3);
This is a basic example of code put in the onDeath() function, which is called when an entity dies. This would drop 3 xp orbs, 3 iron ingots, 2 gold ingots, and 1 diamond. Now, if you were to do this:
Loot_table = {Items.iron_ingot, 3, Items.gold_ingot, 2, Items.diamond, 1, Experience_orb.class, 3};
Actions.drop_items(Loot_table);
The game would crash. An entity physically cannot be dropped as an item. I hope this helps.

I don't recall saying to drop it as an item though.
The loot table should be made if the "type" is "experience", it drops the amount of experience orb entities that you specify. Not "type": "item", which I've already explained.
-
So the loot table is an array of items and entities combined, and it detects whether it is an item or an entity, and if it is an item, it drops an item, and if it is an entity, it drops an entity.
I forgot to clarify that type(experience) is entity.
