? How this is calculated
The XP cost of one level depends on which band it falls in: levels 0–15 cost 2 × level + 7, levels 16–30 cost 5 × level − 38, and level 31 and up cost 9 × level − 158. Summing that cost for every level between your current and target level gives the total raw experience points required — the same points tracked internally, not the percentage fill of the XP bar. Mob kills assume a flat 5 XP per kill, which covers most common hostile and passive mobs but not all (some, like the Ender Dragon or players in PvP, award very different amounts).
