MSG
by MikeStorm03
MSG is a library for custom potion brewing, built on datapacks, that can also switch off the hardcoded vanilla brewing recipes.
What it does
Brewing recipes are defined in a datapack, so a world can add potion combinations without changing the game's code. The hardcoded vanilla brewing behavior can be disabled, which lets a datapack replace it entirely. Fabric API is required, and the mod is available for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 15 release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.2.
Key features
Datapack potion brewing
Custom potion brewing recipes are written as datapack entries rather than as Java code.
Disable hardcoded brewing
The built-in vanilla brewing recipes can be turned off so that only the datapack recipes apply.
Library for other creators
The mod is meant to give other content creators a base to build brewing features on.
