Knowledge of Ages enchantment locks experience gain in an area, then suddenly gives tons of experience?

[totrider]

Using zenith-0.6.0+1.19.2

Experiencing some really odd behaviour with the knowlege of ages enchantment.

I was testing it out on a very basic mob farm, but noticed that after taking out a few enemies, that I stopped receiving any experience. Putting the enchanted weapon in storage and using another weapon would also no longer yield any experience. After a while of swapping the weapons around randomly out of frustration to what was happening, I suddenly got a massive chunk of 300+ experience or so. At first, I though maybe the experience orbs got stuck somewhere, but after removing some blocks it turned out not to be the case.

I then tried using the non KoA weapon on random roaming mobs, and was getting experience just fine. After a while, I returned to the mob farm, and using the non KoA weapon, I started getting exp again.

I then used the KoA weapon, and the experience gain glitched out again. I then moved the mob spawner to another area nearby, and I got exp initially, but then it just bugged out again after receiving 150+/- experience.

I then took out some roaming mobs in my area, and each mob would give me a massive chunk of 150+ to 300+ experience per mob. It also seemed, that each time I took out a mob, that chunk/area got "cursed" and I could no longer get any exp in that chunk/area for a while.

It does not seem to matter what weapon (or lack thereof) I use in the "cursed" area, as all experience gain seems to stop. I see no experience orbs, and pick up notifier does not show me picking up any experience either. Obviously, the durability on my mending equipment does also not repair.

At first, I thought the massive chunks of experience was because the enchanted item would "lock" my experience gain, but the experience would be "stored" in the item or something. Then, taking it out after awhile, it would randomly "unlock" the exp - but this does not seem to be the case.

I checked the logs, but there is nothing logged.

I then tried removing the mods: Fabric Carpet, Carpet Fixes, Debugify, Clumps - As I am aware that they mess with experience gain, but the previously described behavior persists.

I am using V 1.3.9 of my own modpack Dragon Claw Adventure 1 https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/dragon-claw-adventure-1/files

With these additional files (due to some being moved to Modrinth)

This is the weapon that is causing the issue

And this is the other one that works as expected (until the KoA enchanted weapon "locks" exp gain in the nearby area)

I have yet to try out the enchantment with only Zenith enabled due to time constraints, but I might get around to it in the next coming days. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help locate the problem, as I have run out of ideas for the time being. Obviously, one could gradually add mods until it breaks, but I don't have time for that at the moment ^^'

I saw the same issue as you playing the modpack Prominence [FABRIC]. Same observation of chunk banning in place.

Could you provide a full list of all of your mod in your modpack? I'm going to try and find which are in common and attempt to find issue at play.

Both of these packs have PlayerEx. It sounds like you have chunk-based XP moderation enabled in its config. Set Negation Factor to 100 to disable.

It’s probably only noticeable with Zenith because the XP moderation scales based off of number of orbs dropped, and Knowledge works by increasing orb count, which is feature consistent with Apotheosis.

[baboyLTD]

I'm experiencing this same issue on my server. I do have PlayerEX installed and i did try changing the negation factor to 100 but the "cursed" chunk still isn't giving exp when mobs are killed there

[muon-rw]

@baboyLTD once a chunk is affected it does not return to normal even if you disable the setting unless you give it time to restore or use /playerex resetChunk (reset_Chunk on 3.5.4+).

Since this is both mods working as intended but just sort of a somewhat inconvenient interaction of both mechanics working properly, I think this issue could probably be closed @TheWinABagel (but maybe pinned)
