🧪 The Alchemist’s Touch
A Fabric mod that reinvents alchemy in Minecraft.
New potions, effects, alchemical stones, imbued weapons, and immersive mechanics — alchemy becomes strategic, expanding far beyond simple brewing.
🧭 Overview
The Alchemist is no longer just a potion brewer,
but a craftsman capable of shaping matter, life, and death.
Explore a complex potion system where every ingredient has meaning,
and your creations can change the world… literally.
Main Features
- 30+ new potions with unique gameplay effects.
- New status effects.
- Alternative recipes for some potions.
- Alchemical Stones: apply effects to the terrain.
- Imbued Weapons: apply a potion effect for a number of hits based on the effect’s duration.
- Potion-infused food: consuming the food directly applies the effect.
- Stackable potions up to 16 units, with an internal cooldown.
Early Game Potions
- Two new toxic crops: the Poisoned Carrot and Poisoned Beetroot, rare variants of their edible counterparts.
- Lava buckets can now fuel brewing stands, though they provide much less fuel than blaze powder.
- The Alchemist’s Core, a powerful craftable item, acts as a substitute for Nether Wart in brewing — though it’s much harder to obtain.
Modified Potion Recipes
🔥 Fire Resistance – Can now be brewed with a Magma Block and a Magma Cream
🍎 Regeneration – Can now be brewed with a Golden Apple and a Ghast Tear
💪 Strength – Can now be brewed with a Firework Star and Blaze Powder
