Aspect Alchemy

Sub logo

Aspect Alchemy adds a deep, customizable potion-making system using a special Aspect Cauldron. Combine ingredients based on their hidden "aspects" (status effects) to create powerful elixirs — then collect them in bottles of different sizes, infuse arrows, or just *bathe* in the brew directly.

Every ingredient has hidden aspects which can be discovered through experimentation.

Blocks

- Aspect Empty Cauldron — the main block of the mod. Holds up to 3 water levels (just like vanilla), tracks a `boiling` state, and stores up to 3 ingredients. Breaking it drops an empty cauldron. - Aspect Empty Cauldron — the base form; fill it with water to get started.

Heating & Boiling

Place the cauldron over a 10 seconds (200 ticks) to heat it up. Heating takes 10 seconds (200 ticks). Remove the heat source and the cauldron cools down instantly.

- While boiling, the cauldron emits 1 damage per second and plays ambient lava sounds. - ⚠️ Entities standing inside a boiling cauldron take 1 damage per second unless fire-immune.

Adding Ingredients

Add up to Q by right-clicking with them in hand or throwing them in with Q. Duplicate ingredient types are not accepted.

Each ingredient carries a list of status effects (its *aspects*). The system works like this:

- An effect must appear across Amplifier to be included in the final potion. - Amplifier = number of occurrences minus 1, capped at level V.

Living Water Visuals

- Water color dynamically changes based on added ingredients — it shows the average blend of all active effects' colors. - Empty cauldron resets to classic vanilla blue. - Visual feedback lets you see the brew's composition at a glance.

<br> ---

Stand inside a cauldron with a brewed potion to absorb its effects — 1 second of exposure = 3 seconds of effects, refreshed every tick. Great for a quick heal before exploration or combat without consuming a bottle.

- Fire on the entity is extinguished while standing inside. - ⚠️ Instant Damage in the brew deals extraordinary damage.

Bottle Sizes & Multi-Use Bottles

Each scoop of the cauldron lowers the water level by 1. At level 1, the cauldron empties and reverts to its empty form.

<div style="display: inline-block; width: 45%; vertical-align: top;"> <img src="https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/94ba34b1938cfc3237c7060fcc9a772ffbe8aecd.png" alt="Medium Bottle Picture"> <br> Medium Bottle: 3 sips </div> <div style="display: inline-block; width: 45%; vertical-align: top;"> <img src="https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/67265275a42f638c2fe65c9b831786ff97df4e6b.png" alt="Large Bottle Picture"> <br> Large Bottle: 4 sips </div> </div>

Multi-use bottles (MultiUsePotionItem) can be refilled from the cauldron — as long as the effects in the bottle match those in the cauldron and the bottle isn't already full.

Dynamic Potion Names & Colors

Potions get a dynamically generated name based on their strongest effect: `[Prefix] [Effect] [Roman Numeral]`

- Prefix depends on whether the dominant effect is beneficial or harmful. - Color = average of all active effects' colors. - Potion names appear in red; arrow names appear in red.

<br>

Tipping Arrows

One water level = Q. Infuse them by: - Right-clicking with regular arrows in hand, or - Throwing them into a boiling cauldron with Q

Arrows inherit the cauldron's effects, dynamic name (red text), and custom color. Usage count is stored in NBT.

<br>

---

1. Place the 3 unique ingredients over a heat source. 2. Fill it with water (spawns with 1 level by default). 3. Add up to 3 unique ingredients (right-click or Q-throw). 4. Wait for it to boil — watch the water change color. 5. Scoop your potion with any bottle size, tip arrows, or jump in to bathe.

<br>

Effects must appear in at least 2 ingredients to make it into the final potion. Plan your combinations wisely.
