Shules Potions Mod FAQ

Place a Potion Cauldron and fill it with water, then add ingredients directly into the boiling water. Each ingredient contributes its purity, vitality, flavor, and stability values to the final mixture. Once you're happy with the blend, use a bottle to collect your custom potion.

These four properties determine how your potion behaves: purity affects potency, vitality influences duration, flavor impacts how well ingredients combine, and stability determines whether the mixture stays safe or becomes unstable and explodes. Balancing these values creates more effective potions.

Brew potions and drink them to discover their effects—each discovery is recorded in your Effect Codex. The Codex tracks all effects you've encountered and displays their properties, helping you plan future brews.

Yes, create a JSON file in the potion_ingredients folder with the mod ID and assign purity, vitality, flavor, stability, color, and effect values to any item. The mod has built-in support for Alex's Mobs, Froglins, and Supplementaries, but you can customize any mod's items.

The mod introduces multiple bottle tiers that hold different potion volumes, allowing you to store larger batches or carry more potions at once. Larger containers like potion barrels can hold significantly more mixture than standard bottles.

These tools prepare and refine ingredients before adding them to your cauldron, improving their properties and consistency in the final brew. Using them on ingredients increases their effectiveness in potions.

Instability is too high—negative stability values make mixtures volatile and prone to bursting into colorful fluid explosions. Lower stability by using more stable ingredients or reducing the total number of ingredients in your brew.

Yes, throwable bottles let you splash potions onto targets, applying effects to them instead of yourself. This is especially useful for combat-focused effects like Leech, Cloning, or Potion Migraine.

Use Recipe Scrolls to see specific brewing combinations, and reference the Effect Codex to understand what each ingredient contributes. Experimenting with different flavor and purity balances helps you discover synergies.

The mod replaces the vanilla brewing system with its own cauldron-based alchemy, so compatibility depends on how other mods interact with brewing mechanics. Check the mod's datapack support documentation for guidance on combining it with other content mods.
