# 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).
