Substance
Substance is a humorous Minecraft mod about fictional substances, questionable chemistry, smokables, and items inspired by Breaking Bad. Grow or find ingredients, process them through multistep production chains, and use the finished products for distinct gameplay, visual, and audio effects.
Disclaimer: Substance is a fictional work made for entertainment. It does not encourage or promote real-life drug use, unsafe behavior, or illegal activity.
What the mod adds
- Growable herb, tobacco, ephedra, and chili plants
- Herbal rolls, cigarettes, crystals, and reusable pipes with five ingredient slots
- White and blue crystal production chains using flasks, gas bottles, chemical fluids, and drying trays
- Seven custom effects: Haze, Warp, Keen, Relaxation, Surge, Hallucination, and Dread
- Custom post-processing shaders, audio effects, ambient sounds, and harmless apparitions
- Normal, extended, strong, splash, and lingering potions for every effect
- New villager and wandering trader offers, chest loot, piglin bartering, and mob equipment
- An advancement tree that guides you through farming, smoking items, pipes, chemistry, and effects
- Server-synchronized gameplay settings and separate client controls for visual and audio effects
Substance works as a standalone content mod. Most recipes can be viewed with EMI, JEI, or REI.
Optional Create integration
Create Fabric adds mechanical processing and automation for many production steps. Mix chemical fluids, crush and wash ingredients, fill trays, and press finished crystals as part of a Create production line.
Create is optional. Substance includes manual recipes for its progression when Create is not installed.
Requirements
Mod Menu is optional and provides in-game access to Substance's configuration screen. Without it, settings can be changed in .minecraft/config/substance.json while the game is closed.
Only Fabric 1.20.1 is supported at present. Support for newer Minecraft versions and NeoForge is planned, but not guaranteed.
