Honey Milk Bucket
by qwueuywqh
Honey Milk Bucket adds a drinkable item for Forge 1.20.1 that mixes milk and honey, clearing only the harmful status effects while keeping the beneficial ones.
What it does
Drinking the honey-milk mixture behaves like drinking regular milk: it takes 32 ticks and plays the standard drink animation. Unlike a plain milk bucket, it removes negative effects only, so buffs such as strength or regeneration stay active. That makes it a more controlled option for players who fight in hard areas and want to keep buffs earned in combat.
The item is crafted without a fixed layout: one milk bucket and one honey bottle produce one honey milk bucket. After drinking, an empty bucket is returned, which keeps the item usable in both Survival and Adventure mode. The mod is built for Forge only, runs on client and server, and needs its listed dependencies and extra libraries, which are installed alongside it.
Key features
Selective effect removal
Only harmful status effects are cleared when the drink is consumed, while helpful effects remain.
Empty bucket returned
Consuming the drink returns an empty bucket to the inventory, so the item is not lost after each use.
Shapeless crafting
The recipe needs a milk bucket and a honey bottle in any arrangement, producing one honey milk bucket.
Vanilla drinking behavior
The item uses the standard drink animation and the same 32-tick consumption time as milk potions.
