Smoking Stuff - A Wizard's Hobby
by J_Stuff
Players who want a slower route to potion effects can craft Magic Tubes in Smoking Stuff - A Wizard's Hobby, a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that turns smoking into an alternative source of potions.
What it does
The main focus of the mod is an alternative way to obtain potion effects through Magic Tubes. A Magic Tube acts like a potion, and the duration or strength of its effect depends on how long the player spends using it. Managing that time lets the player steer the effect toward a longer duration or a stronger level than a standard potion gives. Several variants exist, including one crafted with golden paper that gives either a longer duration or a higher level than the normal version.
Most items in the mod start from the Magical Herb. The herb is first dried in a smoker, and the Dried Magical Herb is then crushed in a Magic Grinder into Crushed Magical Herb, which is needed for Magic Tubes. Two Dried Magical Herbs combined in one grinder produce the crushed form, and a special variant of Crushed Magical Herb is made with a potion ingredient. Seeds can be obtained from villagers, particularly farmers, and other villager types, including nitwits, offer some emeralds.
Smoking Stuff requires Geckolib, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. It is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.1 as the latest file, released under All rights reserved and not open source.
