Mutations

Release you inner Mad Scientist... Starting in v1.15 mutations are introduced to add an extra layer of OP-ness to the mod, and an extra layer of grinding... Mutations start with the brewing of several potions in your genetics lab.

All potions are preformed in a Brewing Stand or the new Incubator. Some potions require the Incubator. The general progression of brewing is:

Substrate Tier 0 potion, used to duplicate organic cells. This is the root of all other potions.

Potion of Cell Growth: Tier I potion, Formulas with a Potion of Cell Growth (PCG) can be performed at a brewing stand or incubator without penalty. All outputs are new cells with a high chance of success when placed in the DNA Decrypter. Failure in the DNA Decrypter generates a Basic Gene. Combining any of theses cells with a potion of cell growth will revert them to regular cells.

Potion of Mutation: Tier II potion, used as a base potion for getting an overpowered version of a gene or certain already-OP genes. To obtain best results formulas used with a Potion of Cell Mutation (PCM) should be performed in the incubator in low-temp mode. All outputs are new cells with DNAHelix that have a high chance of success when placed in the DNA Decrypter. Failure in the DNA Decrypter generates the lesser form of the mutated gene (SPEED instead of SPEED_2) or a Mutated Basic Gene (like PCM + Emerald). Combining any of theses cells with a potion of cell growth will revert them to regular cells. Output percentages below assume incubator use on low-temp with no overclockers.

When building a Plasmid for a mutation you cannot uses a Basic Gene Helix, you Must use a Basic Mutated Helix, in hard mode you must use the specific mutation gene.

The Cure: A special potion that will cure a player or mob of any virus.

• Mudane Potion + Organic Matter = Substrate
• Substrate + Basic Gene Helix = Potion of Cell Growth (PCG)
• Potion of Cell Growth + Fermented Spider Eye = Potion of Mutation (PCM)
• Potion of Mutation + Chorus Fruit = Bottle of Viral Agents (BVA)

Some notes on these potions to avoid confusion:

• The "Basic Gene Helix" needed for a PCG is a DNAHelix that has "Gene Type: Basic Gene" in it's tooltip, it cannot be gene type "Unknown", it cannot gene type "Speed" or any other specific gene. It cannot be a mutated gene.
• To make a Bottle of Viral Agent the Chorus Fruit must be in the ingredient slot, not the fuel slot. Chorus Fruit is not needed as fuel for BVAs.

• Substrate + Any Cell = 3 of same cell (Brewing stand, high-temp incubator)
• Substrate + Any Cell = 18 of same cell (low-temp incubator)

• PCG + Any Cell = Potion of Cell Growth(That Cell Type)
• PCG(Blaze/magma cell) + Glowstone Dust = 50% Bioluminescence
• PCG(Villager/Shulker cell) + Emerald = 50% Keep Inventory
• PCG(Rabbit cell) + Redstone = 75% Speed
• PCG(Iron Golem cell) + Apple = 75% More hearts
• PCG(Chicken cell) + Egg = 75% Lay Egg
• PCG(Pig cell) + Pork Chop = 75% Meaty
• PCG(Enderman cell) + Ender Pearl = 75% Teleport
• PCG(Enderman cell) + Iron Ingot = 50% Item Magnet
• PCG(Enderman cell) + Golden Apple = 75% More hearts
• PCG(Slime cell) + Glowstone Dust = 50% Photosynthesis
• PCG(Creeper cell) + Spider Eye = 75% Scare Creeper
• PCG(Skeleton cell) + Spider Eye = 75% Scare Skeleton
• PCG(Bear cell) + Bone = 75% Claws

NOTE: that the player MUST have the previous level gene in their blood before they can add the mutation. Thus, you must have Speed I in your blood sample before you can add Speed II using the Plasmid Injector.

• PCM + Any Cell = Potion of Cell Mutation(That Cell Type)
• PCM(Any cell) + Sugar = 75% Basic Mutated Gene vs. Basic Gene
• PCM(Bat/Parrot cell) + Feather = 75% Flight
• PCM(Shulker/Zombie cell) + Diamond = 50% Resistance II vs Resistance I
• PCM(Bear/Llama cell) + Emerald = 50% Strength II vs Strength I
• PCM(Bear/Llama cell) + Diamond = 50% Claws II vs Claws I
• PCM(Rabbit cell) + Redstone = 50% Speed II vs. Speed I
• PCM(Ocelot cell) + Redstone = 50% Speed III vs. Speed II
• PCM(Rabbit cell) + Emerald = 50% Luck I
• PCM(Rabbit cell) + Iron Ingot = 50% Haste II vs. Haste I
• PCM(Silverfish cell) + Redstone = 50% Efficiency IV vs. Efficiency I
• PCM(Zombie cell) + Spider Eye = 75% Scare Zombie
• PCM(Spider cell) + Spider Eye = 75% Scare Spider
• PCM(Ender Dragon cell) + Redstone = 50% Regeneration II vs Regeneration I
• PCM(Pig cell) + Blaze Powder = 50% Meaty II vs. Meaty I
• PCM(Skeleton/Bat cell) + Eye of Ender = 50% Invisibility
• PCM(Enderman cell) + Golden Apple = 50% More Hearts II vs More hearts I

• BVA + Poison Immunity Helix = Poison II
• BVA + Wither Hit Helix = Poison IV
• BVA + Wither Proof Helix = Wither II
• BVA + Strength Helix = Weakness
• BVA + Night vision Helix = Blindness
• BVA + Speed I Helix = Slowness I
• BVA + Speed II Helix = Slowness IV
• BVA + Speed III/Flight Helix = Slowness VI
• BVA + Milky/Meaty/Lay Egg Helix = Nausea
• BVA + No Hunger Helix = Hunger
• BVA + Fire Proof Helix = Flambe
• BVA + Luck Helix = Bad Luck
• BVA + Haste Helix = Mining Fatigue
• BVA + Emerald Heart Helix = Convert Villagers to Zombie
• BVA + Scare Creeper Helix = Instant Death to Creepers (Green Death)
• BVA + Scare Zombie/Skeleton Helix = Instant Death to Undead (Un-Death)
• BVA + Resistance Helix = Instant Death to Passive Mobs (White Death)
• BVA + Dragon Breath Helix = Instant Death to Hostile Mobs (White Death)
• BVA + Glass Syringe with all negative genes = Death to ALL (Black Death)

The Black death is VERY deadly, bypassing most life-saving devices (creative, totems, etc). For PVP balance, there is a configuration flag to disable this virus. It is also very difficult to achieve, needing all of the strongest negative genes in a single syringe. The potion will remove half of an entities health every 2 seconds. Once the entity is at 1 health (1/2 heart) they will be killed. This will give a player about 10 seconds to cure themselves, longer if they have a totem or other life-saving device (SLIMY gene will work once, giving the player an extra 10 seconds).

Output is regular potion, but it can be converted to a splash potion using gunpowder

• BVA + Emerald Heart Helix = The Cure

(Because you read all the way to the bottom)

• Using a Cure potion on a Zombie Villager with instantly convert it into a villager
• Throwing a PCG on grass/dirt or crops works like super-bone-meal
• throwing a PCM on grass will create Cursed Earth if the Extra Utilities mod is installed
