The Alchemist's Touch

by MAT1B1

Alchemist's Touch reworks the potion system with new effects, alternative recipes and rituals that need a Ritual Circle, all for Fabric.

What it does

Brewing expands well beyond the vanilla potion list. The mod adds more than 30 potions with their own gameplay effects, a set of new status effects, and alternative recipes for some existing potions. Fire Resistance can be brewed with Magma Block and Magma Cream, Golden Apple and Ghast Tear, or Fireworks and Blaze Powder, and Long and Strong variants use Redstone and Glowstone Dust.

Alchemical Stones apply effects to the terrain around them, Imbued Weapons carry a potion effect that triggers on a number of hits and lasts for a set duration, and Potion-infused food grants its effect as soon as it is eaten. Stackable potions reach up to 16 units and use an internal cooldown. Blood-based transmutations run through a Ritual Circle: the alchemist first creates the circle by spilling blood from a Blood Bag onto the ground, and the ritual then requires a specific ingredient placed on the circle, with set conditions such as time, weather or health, and a cost paid in blood, XP, a sacrifice or fuel.

The mod runs on Fabric in the 1.21.4 – 1.21.10 range, with files for seven release versions, the latest being 3.0.0 for 1.21.10 on the beta channel. It is released under the MIT License and its source code and issue tracker are public. Client and server both need the mod, so it has to be installed on both sides.
