MCPE-184867addExperience() method does not remove XP levels
Explanation
The Player method "addExperience" only removes the player's XP until the level cap is reached. For example, if a player is at XP level 5 and calls the method: :addExperience(-500) It will not change the player's level, instead they will be at level 5 with no extra XP.
It should also be noted that unlike negative parameters, using positive parameters can increment the player's level. This test is also done using the 1.15-beta scripting version.
Steps to Replicate
- Download the add-on
- Open Minecraft Preview 1.21.20.24
- Create a world using this add-on
- Use command: "give @s sky:skulk_battery"
- Use the item, which uses a custom component, to run the following line that will increase or decrease XP based on a 50% percent chance.
Math.random() < 0.5 ? arg.source.addExperience(1000) : arg.source.addExperience(-1000);
- Notice how the XP level never decreases for the player.

Trying to load the addon in 1.21.30.21 and it's erroring and showing that it's got an invalid pack ID, verson, name and description.
Hi, we could not reproduce that issue on Preview 1.21.60.21. When using the "Skulk Battery" item, exp was neither added nor taken away. Can you attach a video showing the steps to reproduce the issue? Also, do any of the experiments need to be enabled for the package to function?
