# XP Tools - Experience Storage & Risky Conversion
## ✨ Features
### New: Hammer of Experience
This update introduces the volatile **Hammer of Experience**! Available in four variants: Iron, Copper, Gold, and Diamond.
* **Charging Mechanic:**
* Hold the hammer and **Right-click** to consume **1 experience level** per use to charge it.
* Charging significantly **increases the hammer's attack damage**.
* **Risk Mechanic - Overload Explosion!**
* Each hammer has an experience limit. **Exceeding this limit causes the hammer to explode!**
* The **explosion** is slightly weaker than TNT, **destroys terrain**, and damages all nearby entities (but not the player who caused it).
* The hammer is **destroyed** in the explosion. Charge with caution!
* **Visual Feedback:**
* The hammer has **3 distinct textures** that change based on its charge level, providing a clear visual indicator of the current risk.
* **Crafting:**
* Crafted with a new recipe:
```
a = Create Experience Nugget
b = Metal Block (Iron/Copper/Gold/Diamond)
c = Stick
Pattern:
a b a
a c a
a c a
```
### Original: XP Tool

* **Primary Function (Right-click):** Consumes 3 experience levels to generate one Create **Experience Nugget**.
* **Special Attack:** When used as a weapon, **each hit** causes the target to drop 3 Experience Nuggets.
