Expansion Of Border Mod (1.21.5, 1.20.6) redefines how you explore and unlock your Minecraft world. Instead of being given unlimited access right from the start, this mod places you in a small 3×3 area surrounded by a world border. The twist? You gradually expand your playable world by earning experience points. Each bit of XP pushes the boundary outward, rewarding exploration, combat, crafting, and mining with more freedom.
This mechanic turns survival into a progression-based challenge where every action matters. It’s an excellent mod for players who want a fresh way to experience Minecraft’s core gameplay loop with a focus on pacing, rewards, and strategy.
Features:
- Initial 3×3 World Limit – Start in an extremely restricted area.
- XP-Based Expansion – World border expands as you earn XP from mining, fighting, smelting, breeding, and more.
- Progressive Survival – Encourages creative survival strategies within a tight space early on.
- Perfect for Challenges – Great for YouTubers, streamers, or players seeking a fresh and rewarding twist.
- Highly Configurable – Adjust border size, expansion rate, and progression style via config files or datapacks.

Why Use Expansion Of Border?
If you’ve grown tired of traditional Minecraft progression, this mod offers a clever way to transform early-game limitations into motivating milestones. Each bit of progress becomes meaningful: a few mobs slain or ores mined could unlock an entire new chunk of terrain. It’s a great tool for challenge maps, server events, or custom survival experiences where pacing and reward structure matter.
FAQs
How does the border expand?
The border expands automatically as you earn XP. Every action that grants XP (e.g., mining, killing mobs, breeding animals) will grow the playable area.
Can I change how much XP is needed?
Yes. The XP-to-border-size ratio is configurable through the mod’s config or datapack settings.
What happens if I die?
You won’t lose progress. The expanded border remains where it was before you died.
Is this mod good for multiplayer?
Yes, but you’ll want to configure how XP sharing or individual expansion works. The mod is flexible for both solo and server play.
Does it support custom XP sources?
Yes. Any action that gives vanilla XP (and many modded XP events) will contribute to expansion.
