[丹] Elixir
With [丹] Elixir installed, alchemy pills are brewed from ingredients that players can combine, and each pill applies effects tied to the ingredients it was made from.
What it does
[丹] Elixir is a Utility, Food and Magic mod themed on Chinese-style alchemy, built for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1. Pills take their color from the primary ingredient used, so the look of a pill hints at what it contains. A pill brewed at a temperature below what its recipe calls for turns into a Waste Pill, and eating it applies effects chosen at random.
Consumed pills apply most vanilla status effects, and pills can also be thrown, where they inflict effects on targets. Ingredients are not hard-coded: new alchemical ingredients are registered through data packs, and their effect intensity is scaled by values set inside each ingredient's data pack file. Custom effects can be added in Java for modders who need behavior beyond the vanilla set.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. Its source code is public, the code is under the MIT License, and the project accepts reports through an issue tracker. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 1.3.5 as the latest build, released on 2026-10-09 after the first release on 2026-04-20.
