Apothecary
by gobies
Players who want more potion variety can add Apothecary, which brings 25 new effects and changes to some vanilla potions.
What it does
Apothecary is a potion expansion for Forge and NeoForge. It introduces a wide selection of new effects, both beneficial and harmful, that make alchemy more varied in play. Some vanilla potion effects are also reworked, and the mod adds potion effect descriptions and world events related to potions.
The mod is set up for client and server, so the server and every player need it installed. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 and the latest Forge file at 1.5.2 for 1.20.1. The mod ships with configuration options, so effects and potions can be adjusted to taste. The code is not open source; the author keeps All rights reserved.
Key features
25 new effects
The mod adds 25 effects, among them Iron Skin, Diamond Skin, Magic Power, Mana Regeneration and Reflect.

Iron Skin gives +4 armor points, Diamond Skin gives +4 armor toughness, and Reflect returns 20% of damage dealt back to attackers.
Offensive effects
Magic Power raises magic damage by 10%, and a separate effect raises damage dealt by 10% and arrow damage by 3.
Harmful effects
Broken Armor, Ruptured Armor and other debuffs reduce armor, damage dealt and arrow damage, and some increase damage taken.
Configurable potions
Potions and effects can be changed through the mod's configuration, so the balance can be tuned on a server.
