Alchemist Chalk
by S1lly_Sam1
Alchemist Chalk adds a crafted chalk that draws transmutation circles on the ground, each with its own effect on items, experience and the player.
What it does
The chalk is crafted from two redstone dust and one bone meal. Right-clicking a circle with the chalk in the main hand switches between its three modes, and activating a circle costs either three experience levels or three hearts. The Chrysopoeia circle converts valuable materials such as iron into rarer ones like gold, emeralds and diamonds, while the Deconstruction circle breaks complex items down into simpler components, which is useful for turning crafted goods and mob drops back into base materials. The Purification circle removes a curse from an item at the price of either ten spare levels or the curse itself.
The mod is built for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The license is MIT, and the code is not open source. No required dependency is listed for Forge.
Key features
Chrysopoeia circle
Converts materials upward, for example one diamond into two emeralds, with 48 experience points dropped per conversion.
Deconstruction circle
Breaks crafted goods and enchanted items down into simpler materials, and an item at full durability comes back undamaged.
Purification circle
Removes a curse from an item, with seven possible outcomes of varying chances, and most of them lead to the player's death.
Mode switching
Right-clicking a circle with the chalk in the main hand cycles between the three transmutation modes.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players of Forge 1.20.1 who want a magic item that handles material conversion, and server owners who can add it to a multiplayer world, provided every player installs it as well.
How it compares
Basic Transmutation is also a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so it has the same environment. Wait of The World is also Forge and 1.20.1 and runs on client and server, but it is released under All rights reserved. Echoes of Adventure: Runix Matrix shares the 1.20.1 Forge target and client and server environment, under the MIT License.
