Better Potions
by oriionn
Better Potions lengthens the duration of vanilla potions and adds several new potion effects to the brewing system on Fabric for 1.21.1.
What it does
The mod extends the vanilla potion system with longer-duration versions of existing effects and a set of new potions. Brewing these potions requires Infused Redstone as an ingredient, so the new recipes depend on that material. The effects cover night vision, fire resistance, water breathing, and stronger variants of swiftness, slowness, poison, regeneration and strength.
Some additions cover movement and combat. Strong Leaping, Slow Falling and Wind Charging change how a player moves, while the stronger versions of common effects give potion users more options during fights and travel. Compatible potions from other mods can work alongside these additions, as the author notes.
The mod needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and both must be installed with it. Better Potions is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files exist for Fabric only, and the single game version is 1.21.1.
