# Experience

As well as player, pets can also gain experience and level up. In each level they can get special [abilities](/legacy/skills.md) like [Backpack](/legacy/skills/backpack.md).

There are two different ways the experience is converted into levels, etc at the moment.

## The normal Way

The normal way aka `Default` is the default way the experience part is calculated. When MyPet.LevelSystem.CalculationMode is set to `default` all pets will level up like normal players would level up like in [Minecraft Pre-Snapshot 12w23a](https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Experience#Values_of_Beta_1.8_-_Before_1.3.1_.2812w23a.29).

## JavaScript

This is the advanced way where you can create your own level behavior. When MyPet.LevelSystem.CalculationMode is set to `JS` or `JavaScript` the plugin used the `exp.js` in the *MyPet*-pluginfolder to calculate everything. In order to use this feature the plugin needs the [rhino.jar](https://github.com/mozilla/rhino/releases) inside the *MyPet* folder (*since MyPet 1.2.3*).

You can find an example [here](https://github.com/xXKeyleXx/MyPet/blob/master/experience-scripts/exp.js) and a further discription [here](/legacy/systems/experience/expjs.md). If you have any questions related to this topic please send me a message on Discord in the help channel.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.mypet-plugin.de/legacy/systems/experience.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
