Potions - zabi94/ExtraAlchemy GitHub Wiki

Important notes

This page was written for version 1.12 of the mod.
Most recipes have changed, for the time being use REI to find out the new ones.
Newly added potions are still not listed.
Some potions either are still in the process of being ported to newer versions, or have been removed completely, even from future versions. You'll find notes in the relevant paragraphs. Everything else should work pretty much the same way.

I'll rewrite this page to reflect changes eventually.


Potions

All potions in extra alchemy try to stay as close as possible to the vanilla look and feel, for this reason all the recipes are completely pre-configured in a way so that no new items are required, and it's all done in the vanilla brewing stand. It's all organic, non-ogm, palm oil-free vanilla items! They also all come with splash, lingering and arrow variants out-of-the-box.
All recipes are also customizeable via a second config file that generates on the first run of the mod in your config folder. Disabling a mod in the config only disables the recipe, existing potions will continue to work.
Most of the potions (namely, the non-instant ones) also follow the vanilla rule of "redstone=time extension, glowstone=power increase", with a few exceptions. Let's dive right into their effect:

icon Potion of Fuse

When this effect runs out, the entity explodes. Kaboom. Best use is arrow form, to get that extra bit of damage when they least expect it (2 seconds after being hit by the arrow, that is. Maybe not that unexpected actually). This is actually one of the exception to the redstone rule, since it gets shortened by it, instead of extended. Craft it with any firework star in an awkward potion

icon Potion of Dislocation

As long as you are under this effect, you will teleport randomly around your position, multiple times. This is basically a chorus fruit smoothie, and it is in fact crafted with one, brewed in a mundane potion base. Wether you want to run from an arrow shooting madness or just have a really confused friend, this is the potion for you.

icon Potion of Magnetism

This is pretty much my favorite potion. A good item magnet in the form of a potion. No more inventory clutter, no more baubles slots taken. Just a potion and you're ready to go. But wait, how do I turn it off?! What if I want to get rid of it for a couple of seconds? Don't worry, I got your back. You can configure a key to be your toggle (default N), or you can use the sneaking way, that won't let you pick up anything from the distance. This behaviour is inverted if you threw the item on the ground, in that case shifting will let you pick it up immediately. This is to prevent accidental throwing of items off the platform in skyblock maps. If you want to experience the next-gen magnet, just throw an iron ingot in an awkward potion and take a sip. Attraction guaranteed! (Also, this is non gravitational = insta pickup, no server lag and works through walls).
If botania is installed, this potion will try to respect solegnolias and stop attracting items in their area of effect

icon Potion of Sinking

Going for a swim? Watch out for this potion then, 'cause it will make you sink faster than a brick. That's it. You can either be a jerk to your friends or actually use it to explore the depths of the lake just outside of your base, your choice. Just get a water breathing potion and top it off with a clay ball, and you're good to go.

icon Potion of Recall

Get this potion applied somewhere in your world. Walk for a minute. Boom, you're back to the starting point. That's basically how this works. It's just a magic tether linking you to a place and when the time runs out youo get teleported back to it. If you are in the same dimension, that is. For travelling across dimensions your link might need a little power boost, or you'll just get hurt when the time runs out. Throw an ender eye into a long slowness potion to get your one way ticket back. Just in case you want to go to the end without killing that poor creature that lives there, and still get back...

Level II is missing in newer versions, as I'm still waiting on a required library

icon Potion of Pacifism

Hey, you wouldn't hurt somebody that is clearly not willing to hit you, right? Well, if you do this potion will freeze your legs off. Anything that hurts a pacifist creature will get slowed down by the power of karma. If you wanna join the nonviolent revolution get yourself a golden apple, some harming potion, shake vigorously and down the whole thing.

icon Potion of the Piper

You don't know what being a true animal lover means until you drink some wheat in an awkward potion bottle. Only then you will understand. And animals will love you too. Quite literally, since they won't stop following you for a couple minutes. Maybe it's the pherormones, who knows?

icon Potion of Crumbling

The earth crumbles under the feet of those who are affected by this potion: dirt, sand, gravel and stone just melt away. Either you want to use it for a chicken powered automatic quarry or to add an obstacle into your enemy's path, this potion will do just that, all you need is a piece of flint dissolved into a thick potion. And maybe chickens.

Potion of Concentration

Don't you hate those distracting potion particles that spawn right in front of your face whenever you have a nice effect on you? Because I definitely do, and this potion just takes them away. At least until you reapply the effect. Pop an egg into an awkward potion to profit from this effect.

Potion of Freezing

Sometimes you just gotta run away from danger, but sometimes danger follows you. With this concoction you can block whatever entity you want and encase it in magical ice, that melts over time without generating any water and won't cause suffocation. Use a snowball and an awkward potion to keep danger at bay.

Still not available in newer versions

Potion of Return

This one's for you, fellow travellers: some prismarine and an awkward potion will take you right back to your bed, wherever you might be. Almost wherever actually, you need to be in the same dimension and actually have a bed which is also unobstructed. But hey, it's pretty handy, isn't it?

icon Potion of Photosynthesis

What's on the menù? SUNLIGHT. Lots of it. If you stand in the sun your hunger refills slowly. All you need are some beetroot seeds and an awkward potion. This might alleviate your hunger, but you definitely won't feel full. I bet that hunger will come back shortly if you don't actually eat something tangible.

icon Potion of Hurry

Have you ever thought that things and appliances in your house can sense when you are in a hurry, and slow down their process on purpose? Not with this potion, sir! Any block that has a non random progress (Tile Entities for those who know what I'm talking about) will do their work that much quicker. So furnaces will cook faster, Brewing Stands will be snappier, and other modded blocks also seem to get a little bit of speed magic. Stay away from ender quarries though... They don't like the smell Cookies and Charged Potions (2) give you...

Not available in newer versions, won't return at all because I really disliked how it turned out

icon Potion of Cheat Death and Death Clock

You might think you can actually cheat death itself. You'd be right! This potion makes you completely immune to it... to a degree. While you are under this effect, should you die, you will be revived immediately and given some health back, but mr and mrs Death will be in pursuit of your soul, and this effect will turn into death clock, still retaining its invincibility effects, but at any given time while it is on, you risk to be brutally removed from the world of the living, and, differently from a normal death, your belongings will follow you. Of course it's not guaranteed that you will be found, and there is a chance that you will actually survive long enough for death to give the hunt up, but the closer you get to 0, the higher the chance of murder. That's very unfortunate, isn't it? I shouldn't probably tell you the recipe for disaster, but a golden apple and a charged potion tier 2 should do the trick. You've been warned!

Not available in newer versions, won't return at all because I really disliked how it turned out

icon Potion of Reincarnation

You know that 32:00 magnetism potion that you spent so many iron ingots on? Wouldn't it be a shame if you died and lost it without any possibility of refund? This potion is the solution: your effects will follow your soul back to your spawn point. Died from wither? Too bad! Wither will follow you too! Unless you make it stronger, by following the recipe with a piece of glowstone powder. Not interested in the bad effect immunity? just use a piece of leather into an awkward potion then.

icon Potion of Combustion

Burn, baby, burn! This potion will do just that, it sets things on fire: you, your surroundings, anything that can be cooked while it's in your hands... All you need is a mundane potion and coal in block form.

icon Potion of Detection

It's like a workout for your senses, this potion will make you perceive all entities around you in a giant radius for a short time... All you need is the secret hidden in spider eyes and mundane potions

Not available in 1.12, but exists in 1.16.5+

icon Potion of Learning

A block of lapis dissolved into a thick potion will make your intelligence reach new heights, and any experience gained will be increased by 10%. You can also absorb xp orbs instantly and in a bigger radius, ending that annoying orbitating habit they have. Neat, isn't it?

icon Potion of Leech

Ever heard of life steal? A glistening melon slice soaked in an instant damage potion will do the trick I think. That's it, really simple ;)

Still not available in newer versions

icon Potion of Gravity

Whenever a friend needs a reality check and you wanna get his or her feet back to the ground, the potion of Gravity will help you achieve that. Expecially when that friend is a bat, a ghast or a blaze. A nether brick (item, not block) in a thick potion is all you need.

icon Potion of the 7 Seas

That useless ocean biome is always in the way, let's face it. You can now soar through it with just a boat, a brewing stand, some fire, a raw fish, and some long lasting swiftness potion. This potion will upgrade whatever boat you hop on with lightning speed rockets that will make any ocean look like a puddle

icon Potion of Beheading

This one will make you lose your mind. And head, to be completely honest. Any entity (that can drop a skull) has a high chance of dropping its head when killed under this effect. The potion is somewhat unstable and the head will be consumed after a few seconds if left on the ground. Better pick it up quickly if you wanna keep it! Throw your extra rotten flesh in a charged potion to get one. Or three. Or two. Depends.

Still not available in newer versions

Potion of Dispel

How annoying is that "Thorns II, Protection IV, Unbreaking V diamond chestplate of omnipotence" your friend just got from an admin? With a couple strong learning potions and some poisonous potatoes that might become a "Thorns I, Protection II diamond chestplate of rubbish". Every application of this potion has a small chance per item to remove one level per enchantment from it. It takes a couple tries though. Good luck my friend!

Still not available in newer versions

Charged Potion(s)

Pretty much like their vanilla counterparts (mundane, awkward and thick), these 2 potions serve no purpose apart from being part of the recipes of the most powerful ones in this mod. There are 2 tiers, and you'll need to use the second one to craft other potions, by default.
To get tier 1 throw a gold ingot into a thick potion.
To get tier 2 throw a prismarine crystal into the first tier.

Not available in newer versions, won't probably return
