PumpkinPotions
PumpkinPotions adds a pumpkin-based brewing setup for Forge that turns a crafted pumpkin cauldron into a place to brew potions.
What it does
Players first craft a Pumpkin Cauldron, then brew potions in it using a set of ingredients that include items such as blaze powder, rabbit foot, glistering melon slice, soul torch, wet sponge and end crystal. Each ingredient maps to a potion effect, and the mod adds 10 new potion effects, among them instant health, instant damage, jump boost and mining fatigue.
Some foci alter the whole potion rather than only one effect, and a brewed potion can be thrown, with its effect applied to the area where it lands. Because the mod runs on client and server, the server and every player need it for the brewing recipes and effects to match. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover 1.16.3 and 1.16.4, with 1.0.4 for 1.16.4 as the latest Forge file, published 2022-08-22.
