    There seems to be a huge difference between my Exp when I push tab versus when I do /xp. As you can see, tab states that I have 5357 while /xp says I have 4664. It's not a few orbs difference, but almost a 700 difference (693 exactly).

    Update: After my tab exp showed 6000, I went to buy Prot4 from the exp shop and it said I didn't have enough Exp, which shows the tab exp is wrong and the /xp exp is right.

    I cannot seem to reproduce this.
    Perhaps it has something to do with tab being slower to update?
    I'm not sure, but I'll need more reproduction steps to properly look into this.

    Ah, ok :)
    If you figure out how to reproduce it let us know.

    It’s doing it again. And it’s not that it is slow updating, they both still update when I get more exp and they always increase by the same amount.

    Thing is, they fix themselves when they are at amounts less than 1000 exp, but idk if it is my method of gathering exp or the use of mcmmo superbreaker to destroy rows of ore in mining, but it happened two other times after the one I posted.

    I remember having the same issue a long time ago. When I used a macro to display my XP (using the %XP% variable, IIRC), the displayed value matched the tab list and differed from the (correct) /xp stats. Back then, the main source of discrepancy was using an anvil. Did you recently rename or combine items?

    I don’t recall doing such since the last time they were both in sync then differed.

    Interesting, I've made an issue on the plugins issue tracker.
    We'll see what the developers response is.

    @Jdawger I simply can't reproduce this.
    It is always showing the correct value for me.

    See if you can figure out exactly how to reproduce this step by step.
    I have tried everything and my exp always changes correctly both on /exp and in tab.

    I am wondering if I can have an xp reset for my account to be able to start from exactly 0 xp (I only have 3 xp points atm) Just then I will be able to create an exact representation of what I did. Thanks :)

    You can just kill yourself/die ingame. No need for anything like that.

    I can tell you that I actually did start with zero exp when testing this. Maybe try testing it by using super breaker on rows of ores that gave exp (since that's essentially what I did everytime it changed)

    One way to create a difference in exp is enchanting on an anvil. For example combining 2 tools for 5 lvls. After enchanting there is a difference in exp.

    If you have lots of exp, you can make the /exp and the tab view the same again by buying a nstar for example.
    So i think some features are not lowering the exp that you can see in your tab view, while it will lower in the /exp function.

    Okay so heres what I did step by step:
    1. Lowered my level down as far as possible from 14 levels to 0 levels (3 points). (/xp experience shown http://prntscr.com/m8duo0) (Tab experience shown http://prntscr.com/m8dv7e)
    2. Used 64 exp bottles to raise my level to 18 (/xp experience shown http://prntscr.com/m8dvmz) (Tab experience shown http://prntscr.com/m8dw3r)
    3. Combined 2 pickaxes (diamond, one with Eff 2 Fort 1 Unbreaking 2) which cost me 10 levels and brought my exp from 18 to 8 levels http://prntscr.com/m8dwuk. (/xp experience shown http://prntscr.com/m8dx6v) (Tab experience shown http://prntscr.com/m8dxji)
    4. Checked tab to see if the exp count matched with /xp (It didn't. Tab showed 636 points greater in difference to /xp.)

    This was recreated on Minecraft Version: 1.13.2-Optifine_HD_U_E4 - Optifine

    I believe that the tab is miscalculating or not calculating any exp taken when enchanting/combining tools as my tab exp always seems to show more than my /xp which means it is not removing any exp when performing enchants etc.

    @andrewkm If you need anything else shown / added, I will be happy to do so :)

    UPDATE: I have found whilst I have been gaining exp since today via killing mobs etc, the difference has been staying at 636 points. Not sure if this is helpful but may come in handy.
