Chemical Combat
by BurgyPlus
Chemical Combat adds potions built for fighting, sorted into Drink Mode and Throw Mode, and the NeoForge mod is client and server, under the MIT License.
What it does
Solutions are the mod's combat potions, and they are meant to outperform the vanilla potions used in battle. Each player chooses between Drink Mode, which applies the effect to the user, and Throw Mode, which sends the effect out as a splash to affect other entities and players. Enhancement solutions buff whoever they touch, while debuff solutions cripple whoever they hit. Offensive solutions deal Magic Damage, a type that bypasses Physical Armor.
The main timing unit is the tick, which makes the listed effect durations exact. A drink heals 1 hp over 4 ticks and lasts up to 300 ticks, while a splash heals 1 hp over 4 ticks with a duration that shrinks with distance from the impact. Alteration Powder is the ingredient added at the top and bottom of a drowsiness solution.
Chemical Combat is published for NeoForge only, with files for 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11. The latest file is 0.7.1 for 1.21.11, released 2026-02-20. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
