Experience points (XP) are gained by players in Minecraft by performing tasks like killing mobs, mining ores, and smelting items. Once they have enough points, their experience level will go up by one. Using these levels, players can enchant their items on the enchanting table.

For those unaware, enchanting is an excellent feature in Minecraft which allows players to improve their tools, weapons, and armor. If the player is looking to obtain a lot of experience points in a short period of time, one of the best things to do is create an experience bank.

Step 6: Create the same pattern using rails and powered rails as shown above. Place three levers from where they can power the rails. Place a minecart with a chest on the inner rails filled with fuel and a minecart chest on the outer rails filled with items such as cactus to smelt.

To use the farm, players need to power the minecarts using the lever. Minecarts will now deliver the items to the furnace. Once smelted, players can collect the item and the experience points.
