Extra Alchemy
by zabi94
Extra Alchemy adds new potions and potion mechanics to the Fabric version of Minecraft Java Edition, with brewing stands that can run on heat and potions that work as vials or rings.
What it does
The mod enlarges the brewing system with potions that are made in the vanilla Brewing Stand from vanilla items, and most come with splash, lingering and arrow forms. Some also take redstone or glowstone enhancements. Recipes can be looked up in-game with a recipe-viewer tool, and each potion recipe can be disabled separately in the config file. Not every potion has been ported to Fabric yet.
A config option lets a brewing stand run on a fire or any block made of fire or lava material placed beneath it, which is slower than blaze powder. Blaze powder still works. Heat sources and conductive blocks are set through the extraalchemy:heat source and extraalchemy:heat conductor tags, and the option can be switched off. Vials are a stackable potion item, up to 16 per stack, that apply their effect immediately when used, and an empty vial is crafted from a glass bottle recipe with a flint in the top-center slot.
Potion rings give a semi-persistent effect. An empty ring combined with a valid vanilla potion produces the matching ring, which reapplies the potion over time to the wearer. XP cost and renewal time are set separately for each potion, and new potions can be added through data-driven recipes that the server sends to the client on connection. The mod requires Fabric API, and Pehkui and Trinkets are optional. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
