Dimension Red’s Alchemy Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need other mods for this resource pack to work?
No, the pack works as a standalone visual upgrade that replaces potion bottles with 3D models in vanilla Minecraft. The cauldron skin feature requires the Just Like Cauldron mod, but you can use the pack without it and still get all the potion improvements.
Why do my potions still look flat?
Make sure the resource pack is enabled and ranked above any conflicting packs in your resource pack list. If you're using other mods that modify potion textures, those may override this pack—try moving Dimension Red's Alchemy to the top of your load order.
How do I get the custom cauldron to work?
You need the Just Like Cauldron mod installed. Once you have it, use a honeycomb on a regular cauldron to apply the custom black cauldron skin from this pack.
Can I use this pack with other brewing or potion mods?
The pack works with most mods, but if another mod also replaces potion models, you may see conflicts. Test compatibility by checking if both packs' features appear, and adjust your resource pack load order if needed.
Do the 3D potion models work in item frames and on the ground?
Yes, the 3D models display correctly when potions are in item frames, on the ground, in your inventory, and on brewing stands.
Will this pack affect my game performance?
The 3D models are optimized and should have minimal impact on performance, but if you experience lag, try disabling the pack temporarily to confirm it's the cause, then check your graphics settings.
Does this work with Optifine or other optimization mods?
Yes, the pack is compatible with Optifine and similar mods, though you should test it in your setup since shader interactions can sometimes affect how models render.
What potion types does this pack cover?
The pack replaces all standard potion bottles with 3D models, including regular potions, splash potions, and lingering potions.
Can I customize the cauldron color or style?
The cauldron skin is a fixed black model included with the pack. To change its appearance, you would need to modify the resource pack files yourself or use a different cauldron mod with alternative skins.
Do I need to restart my game after applying the pack?
No, you can enable or disable the resource pack from the resource pack menu and see changes immediately without restarting.
