Potion Imbuement
by AvatarKage
Potion Imbuement lets players coat melee weapons with potion effects, following the duration and usage rules that govern tipped arrows.
What it does
A weapon takes a potion's effect after the player imbues it with a lingering potion held in the other hand, and the effect applies to the next entity the weapon hits. Tipped arrows and imbued weapons share one set of timing rules, and once an imbuement's uses run out the weapon can be imbued again. The server needs the mod, while a client can join without it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for 1.21 – 26.2 across 16 release versions, with 1.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest file, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Melee imbuement
Swords, axes and spears take potion effects on hit, with the item tag imbuement:imbuable controlling which weapons qualify.
Custom potions
Modded potions work alongside the vanilla ones, so a datapack or mod that adds potions can feed the imbuement system.
Datapack support
The mod is also available as a data pack, so a server can enable the imbuement without installing a loader mod.
