Expected Potions
by SWMods
Expected Potions adds several new potions to Minecraft, each with its own brewing recipe and effect, and brings a few mechanics from the Expected mod into a standalone module.
What it does
The Leaping potion is brewed by adding a Wither Skeleton bone to a brewing stand, and it inverts the effect of the Potion of Leaping. Brewing a Levitation potion uses the usual brewing stand process with a Shulker Shell fragment as the ingredient, and while the effect is active the player rises, which helps with climbing over obstacles or flying across deep drops; knockback has no effect on the player during that time. Combined with the Gravity Potion, it is especially useful for travel in the End.
A Chorus potion is prepared from roasted chorus fruit. When a player drinks it and takes damage, the player is teleported a short distance, imitating the effect of eating Chorus Fruit. That makes it a lifesaving option in dangerous situations, since it can help a player avoid being encircled.
The module is a standalone extraction of selected mechanics from the Expected mod. Its changes aim to enhance game balance, raise difficulty and give underused systems logical updates, while keeping the spirit of vanilla Minecraft. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1 and 1.21.5, under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license, and the mod is not open source.
