How to Craft Smokables, Color Bongs, and Gain Strain Buffs

After your harvested buds finish drying on curing racks, you can turn them into usable items that provide helpful status effects during survival gameplay.

Crafting Pipes, Joints, and Dyed Bongs

The mod includes three main options for consuming cured crops, along with color customization to match your gear or base.

1. Check your recipe book or crafting table to craft standard pipes or roll cured buds into joints for portable use.

2. Craft a bong (water pipe) if you want a reusable piece of equipment.

3. Gather any of the sixteen vanilla Minecraft dyes—such as bone meal, lapis lazuli, cactus green, or rose red—and apply it during crafting to customize the color of your bong.

Activating Gameplay Buffs

Consuming finished strains is more than cosmetic; different plant varieties grant distinct gameplay buffs depending on the genetics you cultivated.

1. Equip a joint, loaded pipe, or colored water pipe in your hand.

2. Use the item to consume your chosen strain and trigger its status effects.

3. Match the strain to your current task—certain varieties grant health regeneration for recovering after combat, while others apply a calm status effect.

4. Refer back to your unlocked strains in the Herbarium so you can keep growing the specific varieties whose buffs fit your playstyle.
