How do I give a player EXP when they kill a zombie?

Im making a plugin and when they kill a Zombie I want it to give them a certain ammount of EXP but not drop any xp how can I do this?

Well, first off, you need to use a entitydeathevent and check if the entity dying is a zombie. If so, clear the drops(event.clearDrops() I think) and get the killer of the zombie(event.getKiller()) and then give the killer more xp(killer.setExp(killer.getExp + 40). Remember to add null checks for the death cause so that if a zombie dies from falling it does not through an NPE.

NOTE: I don't think its .getExp but its something close.

 

can you show me an example? (sorry I'm kinda lost)

 

Its actually really simple:

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onEntityDeath(EntityDeathEvent e){
      if(e.getEntity() instanceof Zombie){
          Player killer = e.getEntity().getKiller();
          e.setDroppedExp(0);
          killer.setExp(killer.getExp()+40/*Insert amount instead of 40*/);
      }
  }

 

You might want to add a check to make sure the killer is not null and is a player.

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onEntityDeath(EntityDeathEvent e){
          if(e.getEntity() instanceof Zombie){
              if (e.getEntity().getKiller() != null && e.getEntity().getKiller() instanceof Player) {
                Player killer = e.getEntity().getKiller();
                e.setDroppedExp(0);
                killer.setExp(killer.getExp() + 40/* Insert amount instead of 40 */);
              }
 
          }
      }

 

I am not sure but I think that getKiller() returns a Player, but you are right, didnt think of that.

 

NonameSL that doesnt always returns a player, like when the entity falls down by water, then its null or if a creeper explodes and it kills the zombie, its not a player
