This Datapack, also ported as mod, reworks the potion brewing system entirely, allowing you to just pick up a waterbottle, some coal and create a potion in a scavaged brewing stand, to make your first potions to creating powerfull level 4 potions in the late game.

IMPORTANT:

• if you play with the datapack version, you need to coppy the datapack .zip file also in your RESOURCEPACK FOLDER and load the datapack AS a resourcepack! otherwise potions will have weird names.
• due to the datadriven nature of this datapack, there are some weird bugs with the creative inventory if you pick up some items. the bug usualy fixes itself by opening and closing the inventory again

What is this datapack doing mainly?

• Potions and Waterbottles stack now to 8. Stews to 16. Works with bundles
• Reworking how potions are aquired, tying them into progression by making maximum duration and power tied to specific materials adquired across dimensions
• That includes making potion making early game possible by allowing brewing stands to be found and more places and the igredients to low level potions and brewing fuel accesible in the overworld
• Increasing their power gap to twice as much and max duration to up to 4x as much by using these specific materials
• Adding many new brewing recipes for many effects
• Changing existent brewing recipes to both tie em better into progression and make it so each effect has an unique igredient
• Reworking how potions work, allowing them to be drinked faster and stack up to 8, plus adding cooldown to balance that
• Making lingering accesible as soon as splash, rather than being tied to end game, and buffing lingering
• And other small things like more suspicious stew effects, brewable xp bottles, easier tipped arrows and advancements to tie it all

We added an Advancement tab that will help you explore and discover what potions you can brew in game, however of course you can read up here too how the system works. we also have a Home Brewed Info Page

What is potion fuel?

Potion fuel in vanilla is just blaze powder, with 20 charges, brewing potion within 20 seconds per brew. with this Brewing System overhaul we change what items can be used and how effective they are, allowing brewing early game and making it more effective late game:

• Coal has 8 charges, with a x 0.75 multiplier (26.7 seconds for a brew)
• Charcoal has 8 charges, with a x 0.75 multiplier (26.7 seconds for a brew)
• Lava Bucket has 80 charges, with a x 1 multiplier (20.0 seconds for a brew)
• Blaze Powder has 8 charges, with a x 1.5 multiplier (13.3 seconds for a brew)
• FireCharges has 8 charges, with a x 0.75 multiplier (26.7 seconds for a brew)

How do I brew a Potion?

You simply grab a water bottle and put it into the brewing stand, then add the ingredience you want for the desired effect. Akward/thick/mundane potions still exist but they have goten a new use.

How do i make my potions stronger?

In vanilla, you use glowstone dust to make a potion stronger and pay with potion lengh for it, or redstone to make it last longer instead With Home Brewed, we took this system to new lenghs, allowing you to make potions longer AND stronger at the same time. You can buff them also more than once! allowing you to mix and match potion strenghs up to lv 4 or 32 minutes of a potion effect. remember: everytime you make a potion stronger, it lasts shorter. In practice this means you can make a Speed 4 potion that lasts 3 minutes, or a Jump Boost 2 potion, that lasts 16 minutes. for this you need following ingrediences:

• To make a Potion Stronger:
  • Amethyst shards to level it up from lv 1 to lv 2
  • Nether Wards to level it up from lv 2 to lv 3
  • Dragon Breath to level it up from lv 3 to lv 4
• To make it Last Longer:
  • Redstone Dust to buff it from 3:00 min to 8:00 min / 0:45 min to 1:30 min for short duration potions
  • Eye of Ender to buff it from 8:00 min to 16:00 min / 1:30 min to 3:00 min for short duration potions
  • Nether Star to buff it from 16:00 min to 32:00 min / 3:00 min to 8:00 min for short duration potions

Dragon breath? I thought you need this to make lingering potions.

With Home Brewed we decided that the renewable boss items should be what allows you to make the strongest potions, and that lingering potions, and with that, tipped arrows, should be easier to acces. to make a splash potion, you need to use Gunpowder, like in vanilla to upgrade a splash potion to a lingering potion, you need wind charges this was done because you mainly find lingering potions in trail chambers alongside wind charges

What ingredience is required for what effect?

The in game advancements will help you out here but we will list every ingredience and the effect it causes here:

What happend to Akward/Mundane/Thick Potions?

1 of those was only usefull in Vanilla and required to brew any potion. With Homebrewed we reuse those items as a way for you to prepare potion effect strenghs, so you can mix them with any base ingredience to get a stronger potion already:

• Water Bottle mixed with Amethyst Shards will create a Mundane Potion, which can be used to make a lv 2 Potion
• Mundane Potion mixed with Nether Warts will create an Akward Potion, which can be used to make a lv 3 Potion
• Akward Potion mixed with Dragon Breath will create a Thick Potion, which can be used to make a lv 4 Potion

What did you do to stews?

First of: we made Stews stackable to 16, including suspicious stews. this means with a bit of experimentin you can determen what a suspicious stew effect is that you found and help you carry those mini potion effects around with you. We are aware of how strong saturation potions are and how easy they where to craft in vanilla, so we changed some recipees and made new effects aviable:

• For Blindness Stew you need Azure Bluet or an Open Eyeblossom

• For Nausea Stew you need a Closed Eyeblossom
• For Jump Boost Stew you need a Cornflower
