Mebahel's Elder Scrolls Core
by Mebahel
Mebahel's Elder Scrolls Core adds potion crafting, Soul Gems, lockpicking and Standing Stone blessings to Minecraft, drawing on the Elder Scrolls games.
What it does
The mod adds a growing set of plants and alchemical materials, along with magical systems modeled on the Elder Scrolls games. Players gather known ingredients, brew potions that pair helpful and harmful effects, and coat weapons with them. Soul Gems capture the essence of defeated creatures, and lockpicks open secured treasure chests. Standing Stones scattered through the world grant blessings.
Ingredient properties are learned separately, following the logic of the alchemy system in Skyrim. Until the player discovers them, an ingredient's two effects stay concealed. Eating an ingredient, brewing it or collecting its potion reveals what it does, and discoveries persist through death and server restarts. The mod requires Mebahel's API, and both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20 – 1.21.1, and the code is licensed as All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Ingredient discovery
Each ingredient's two properties stay hidden until the player learns them, which keeps brewing a matter of experiment.
Paired potion effects
Ingredients carry beneficial and harmful effects, and combining them, such as Nirnroot with a second potion, produces new results.
Weapon coatings and Soul Gems
Potions can coat weapons, and Soul Gems capture the souls of defeated creatures for use in magic.
Lockpicking and Standing Stones
Lockpicks open secured treasure chests, and Standing Stones spread through the world offer blessings to players who find them.
