pigeon_potion
Pigeon Potion adds six custom potion effects and new brewing paths to Minecraft's vanilla brewing system for Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
Brewing with Pigeon Potion opens recipes that produce effects the vanilla game does not offer, and several vanilla effects become reachable through different ingredient chains. Haste is brewed from an Awkward Potion with a gold ingot, Fatigue from a Haste Potion with nether wart, and Resistance from a Turtle Master Potion with amethyst shards. Most of the mod's potion effects also have extended, enhanced, splash and lingering variants made through the brewing system.
The custom effects cover both sides of mining and combat. Haste raises mining speed, while Mining Fatigue lowers it. Bad Luck and its opposite, Luck, change luck-related outcomes. Other effects damage entities over time, reduce incoming damage, reflect part of the damage back to attackers, or add armor protection. The Resistance potions apply Slowness instead of the Turtle Master effects, and their duration is randomly chosen within a configured range, so each brew can differ slightly. Recipes can be viewed directly in JEI.
The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code and issue tracker are public. It was first published on 2026-05-30, and its latest Forge file, 1.4.0, was released on 2026-06-04. Installation is needed on the client and the server, so both sides must run it.
