Understand How the Border Mechanics Work

The Expansion System

The mod replaces the standard world border with a progressive system tied directly to your XP level. As you accumulate experience points through normal gameplay, the accessible area around your spawn point gradually increases.

The border starts at 3×3 blocks, creating a severe restriction on movement and building. This forces intentional early-game planning and makes progression feel rewarding as you unlock new areas.

What You Can and Cannot Do

Within the border: You can build, mine, farm, and interact normally.

Outside the border: You cannot place or break blocks, and attempting to move beyond it will push you back (like vanilla world border behavior).

Progression Feels Natural

Because XP gain is tied to normal survival activities, border expansion happens passively as you play. You don't need to hunt for special items or complete arbitrary tasks—simply playing survival Minecraft naturally expands your world access. This creates a smooth difficulty curve where your available resources and space grow alongside your progression.
