The Strange Potato

Craft strange potatoes that give random effects, good or bad, and brew them into potions!

🥔 The Strange Potato

Not every potato is born equal. Craft the Strange Potato, take a bite, and let fate decide: you'll get a random potion effect... good or bad!

✨ Features

  • 3 new potatoes, each with its own texture and recipe
  • Random effects when eaten: 1 effect, with a 25% chance of getting a 2nd (different) one
  • 3 new potions you can brew at the Brewing Stand
  • Works as Splash and Lingering potions and tipped arrows
  • All potatoes can be eaten even when you're not hungry
  • Fully translated: English and Français
  • No bad effect can kill you on its own (Wither lasts only 4 seconds)
