Capsules! (Simple Potions)
by fik0n
Capsules! is a Forge food mod that turns early potion effects into simple, stackable capsules players can craft and eat.
What it does
Capsules! adds a set of simpler, early-game potion effects packed as capsules. Each capsule is crafted from one copper ingot, one sugar and one potion-specific ingredient, and a single craft yields four capsules that stack to 16. Eating one grants its effect for one minute, which keeps the system closer to the feel of brewing without a brewing stand.
The effects covered are Night Vision through a golden carrot, Jump Boost through a leaping rabbit's foot, Slow Falling through a phantom membrane, Water Breathing through a pufferfish, Speed or Swiftness through sugar, Invisibility through a fermented spider eye, Fire Resistance through magma cream, Strength through blaze powder, and Regeneration through a ghast tear. The list of featured effects is the set the author chose to include.
The mod is published for Forge on 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with files for each of the six release versions and 1.0-1.20.1 as the latest build. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Simple potion capsules
Potion effects are packed into capsules that take the place of a brewed bottle, so no brewing stand is needed.
Ingredient-based recipes
Each capsule uses a copper ingot, sugar and one ingredient tied to its effect, with four capsules per craft.
One-minute effects
Eating a capsule applies its potion effect for one minute.
Stacking capsules
Capsules stack up to 16 in a slot, which keeps a supply compact in the inventory.
