TechFreqs Shared Spike Trap XP Mod

Description

The TechFreq’s Shared Spike Trap XP Mod, for 7 Days to Die allows players to gain XP from enemy zombies and most hostile animals killed by wooden or iron spike traps. The XP distribution is proximity-based, meaning that if a player is near the traps when a kill occurs, they will receive XP—now rocking configurable , 150 XP per kill & 30m radius file.

Current Functionality:
If a lone wolf’s near the spike traps, they bag 150 XP per kill—easy peasy! If a squad’s hanging out, everyone within the 20m radius scores their share—fair and square, no favoritism here! Too far? No XP for you—keeps it local and legit. Zombie dogs, bears, and other nasties? They drop XP too—tested and silky smooth! Logs confirm we all get XP when we’re close, and we *actually* see it—tooltip included for that sweet victory vibe!

Current Status:
– Basic XP system shines at 150 XP per kill
– Multiplayer XP sharing is perfect—all nearby players cash in the same amount within distance
– Enemy animals like zombie dogs and bears grant XP, no glitches
– Flawlessly shares XP within 20m—clean, reliable, and spam-free
– Tooltip pops up for local players—“Gained 150 XP from spike trap kill!”

If a single player is near the spike traps, they receive XP (100 XP per kill).
If multiple players are nearby, the mod attempts to determine who to send the XP to,but if not in distance of the spike traps no xp will be givens
If a player is far away, it will show in logs upon entity kill and determine whether or not they should recieve it
When two players are present, the logs indicate XP is awarded to both,
Improve logging and feedback so each player gets clear confirmation of earned XP in LOGs via F1
Fixed XP inconsistencies
anything else that needs adjustments…

I think this mod affects the loot drop on blood moon, I did 4 blood moons and each time there’s either no loot at all or just one bag, and when I tried playing without it and I got about 12 bags, would be amazing if you could fix it!
