Mining and logging should not the only way to level Alchemist. It's Alchemy for crying out loud, we should be leveling off potions too! So, here's a few ideas for how XP could be
BASE IDEA: Adding water to a bottle, creating a Water Bottle gives 0.01 XP, the same as mining Cobblestone and it's sister variants.. This is by far the easiest, fastest, and most effortless part of preparing a potion. Adding a base ingrediant (say, a Nether Wart for an Awkward Potion, or Glowstone Dust for Thick Potion) gives 0.1 XP.
IDEA I:
There are 3 slots to a brewing stand. right? Every potion you make gives 1 XP beyond mundane/awkward/thick potion. That's 3 XP max for making all 3 potions, regardless of what it is and it's effects. This means that a Splash Potion of Poison will give 1 XP just like the Potion of Healing II and the Potion of Swiftness.
=====
IDEA II:
Adding a bit more math in to this, XP given is now based on the number of ingredients used. Putting a long story shortm this would mean:
1. Awkward Potion gives 1 XP. 3 of these = 3 XP
2. Potion of Regeneration gives 3 XP because Ghast Tear is not a very common item. 3 of these = 9 XP
3. Potion of Regeneration II gives 5 XP because an additional effect was added. 3 of these = 15 EXP.
4. Potion of Swiftness gives 1 XP because Sugarcane is easily obtainable and renewable, making Sugar a common item. 3 of these = 3 XP
3 XP (3 Awkward Potions) + 9 XP (3 Potions of Regeneration) + 15 XP (3 Potion of Regeneration IIs) = 27 XP total.
That's 27 XP a minute, 1620 XP an hour.
=====
IDEA III:
A simpler idea of II, this time only basing the XP based on the tier of potion (based on usefulness) rather than the ingredient itself.
Example:
Potion of Strength would be considered a Tier 1 potion, and gives 2 XP a potion, and craftable at level 1 onward.
Potion of Strength(EXT) is a Tier 2 Potion, gives 10 XP a potion, and craftable at level 20.
Splash Potion of Strength is a Tier 3 potion, gives 20 XP a potion, and craftable at level 30.
Splash Potion of Strength (EXT) is a Tier 4 Potion, gives 30 XP a potion, and craftable at level 40.
Potion of Strength II is a Tier 5 potion, gives 40 XP a potion, and is craftable at level 50.
Splash Potion of Strength II is a tier 6 potion, gives 50 XP a potion, and is craftable at level 60.
========
I hope these are some good ideas worth looking into.
