Nether Flask
by novicesnake
Nether Flask is a Fabric equipment mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds a refillable flask holding a potion choice, with upgrades for duration and strength.
What it does
Players obtain the first flask by crafting it from Nether Star Clay Blocks once the Obtaining Nether Star advancement grants access to the recipes. The starting flask is weak, and it is upgraded with Flask Shards and Bone Dust.
The flask is bound to a chosen potion, so it effectively mimics that potion and can be recharged for further use. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Installation requires Fabric. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, with 1.1.41 as the latest Fabric file, released under the MIT License. The code is not open source under a copyleft license, and its MIT terms apply.
Key features
Recharging flask
The flask can be refilled, and the potion it holds can be chosen, so one item covers repeated use of the same effect.
Crafted starting flask
The first flask is crafted from Nether Star Clay Blocks once the Obtaining Nether Star advancement is earned.
Upgrades through loot
Flask Shards and Bone Dust raise the flask, while duration amounts come from chests in pyramids, buried treasure and broken portals.
Config file
Duration modifiers, maximum uses and maximum strength are set in nether-flask.json in the config folder.
