If there has to be leveling in minecraft this would most certainly be the best solution.Brethern wrote:Leveling would be fine if it was done the way dwarf fortress did it. The more levels you gain the faster you do tasks. Or like Mcmmo did it where you could get double drops and such. If you are just learning how to mine you're only going to get what you see, but the more experience you get you'll be able to recognize how much ore is in the block you just mined.
Maybe you could also restrict some crafting recipes to higher levels ... pistons for example are more difficult to build and thus require a certain level of experience.
