Why the random experience levels?
According to http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Experience
- If you gain too many experience points (such as a trillion through commands), the experience bar will disappear altogether as well as your level on your HUD. This appears to occur around level 32,767
- The maximum XP that you can earn from the /xp command is 2,147,483,647 levels The maximum experience level is 24,791 (With just /xp).
The maximum glitchless experience level is 32,767 (With just /xp (#L)(Where /xp is the level and the L increases the person's level by that many levels)
The highest level you can gain with /xp without overflowing is 1,241,258 which results in 2,147,483,647 exp, which is the maximum value for the int data type, in Java, which is what is used to store the exp value.
Maybe it's just me, but these numbers seem to make no sense. Absolutely none of these numbers are even or just ended in zeroes. Why did they use these numbers that just seem random?
