Potion Guide Vanilla
by Zonegone
Potion Guide Vanilla shows the brewing steps for every vanilla potion, so players can see how to make each one without leaving the game.
What it does
The mod gives potion recipes in a simple, straightforward way that follows the brewing guide Mojang already includes. Each vanilla potion is listed with the ingredients and brewing steps needed to reach it, which helps when a player is planning a brewing stand setup.
Potions a player has already found appear in full, while the rest are drawn as grey items, so the guide doubles as a progress view. Only vanilla potions are supported; potions added by other mods are not rendered. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it.
Builds are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.11, with 1.0.1 as the latest file on both loaders, released on 2026-02-10 on the beta channel. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
