Reported it myself the other day - https://github.com/FMCorz/moodle-block_xp/issues/161

The issue is with PHP 8.2. Until they fix this, the only solution is to downgrade to PHP 8.1. Just to observe that while core Moodle may be compatible with a certain PHP version, it in no way means that all plugins will be.

It is, of course, just a deprecation warning. It still should work just the same.

The page for that plugin does not show support for Moodle 4.2. This may be why.

Also consider the version of PHP you are running. It may not have been tested with newer versions even though they are compatible with core Moodle.

I can't check if there are any bug reports as the author has these in Bitbucket. I don't have an account and I'm too lazy to create one wink

Moodle in English -> Installing and upgrading help -> Optional plugins tool (shameless self-promotion)

I don't know if it's useful to anybody else, but I wrote a simple plugin that generates all the copy commands to copy all your optional plugins from one Moodle site to another. It doesn't do anything to check version validity or so on. However, it's a good start if you quickly want to build a test of (say) a new version and your Moodle has loads of optional plugins. This is something I seem to do quite a lot. 

Both web-based and cli options are included.
