Soul Experience

Title: Soul Experience: A Second XP System for Magical Enchantments With the Sift coming to Minecraft, I suggest adding soul experience as a second type of XP, with its own bar near the hotbar. Like normal XP, it would be collected, stored and spent on enchanting, not used as mana in combat. Enchantments would be divided by how they work: * Regular XP: Practical improvements such as Sharpness or Efficiency, which feel like improving a weapon or tool. This XP would still come from mining, smelting, breeding and trading. * Soul XP: Supernatural enchantments such as Fire Aspect or Bane of Arthropods, which would require the power of souls. Soul enchantments would use a separate Soul Enchanting Table, crafted with obsidian, a sculk sensor and a soul-related block (perhaps a soul block, if introduced). Soul XP could be earned through the Sift and soul-related content. This would make Ancient Cities and sculk more useful to ordinary players, connect enchanting to Minecraft’s lore and add a new reason to explore without simply making stronger gear.

    Update: Soul Enchantment Upgrades

    I want to clarify and expand my original idea.

    Players should still be able to get existing enchantments using regular XP. Soul XP would instead unlock new magical upgrades and alternative versions of enchantments.

    For example, a sword with Fire Aspect could be upgraded using Soul XP into a new enchantment called Soul Aspect.

    Instead of setting enemies on fire, Soul Aspect would apply a soul effect that slowly drains health, similar to the dangerous soul water in Minecraft Dungeons. It could have blue soul particles and work differently from regular fire.

    This would create two possible upgrade paths: regular XP for traditional enchantments and Soul XP for special magical transformations.

    Most importantly, Soul XP would only be spent when enchanting, not during combat.

    This way, players wouldn’t lose existing features, while Ancient Cities and the Sift would offer new reasons to explore and improve equipment.
