Alright. Ahem&#8211;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Reactive Alchemy<\/strong> (or Reactive for short) is an alchemy-themed magic mod centered around in-world experimentation. It features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A fully-fledged system of elemental Powers that react with each other automatically<\/li>\n<li>Numerous arcane tricks and techniques to create useful effects and items<\/li>\n<li>Many features that behave slightly differently in every new world<\/li>\n<li>A system of custom-made and custom-nameable blocks that you can create and discover<\/li>\n<li>The promise of teleportation, automatic block breaking, magical weaponry, and turning copper into gold<\/li>\n<li>A charismatic and well-written guide book that leads you to discover the mechanics at your own pace<\/li>\n<li>Strange materials still waiting to be discovered<\/li>\n<li>What remains of our voice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the trailer for version 10:<br \/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 485px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ng4mrQkabSM\" width=\"485\" height=\"283\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Getting Started<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Journal of Alchemy<\/strong> can be crafted with a book, a stick, and a bottle, and can serve as your guide through the rest of the mod. Each page is written in the style of alchemist&#8217;s notes from one of three different narrators. Some of the mod&#8217;s content is described in the form of &#8220;Objects of Study&#8221;, which require you to run some kind of experiment before their secrets are revealed, but essential mechanics are outright explained.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, JEI integration for all items is present.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer a more direct reference, see the wiki.<\/p>\n<h2>Configuration<\/h2>\n<p>The mod is largely data-driven, so any of these features can be added or changed using a datapack:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sources of Power<\/li>\n<li>Power Release recipes<\/li>\n<li>Transmutation recipes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>More may be added on request! For information about the recipe format, see the readme on the github page.<\/p>\n<p>There are also options in the config files to change certain performance settings, elucidate one of the mechanics, and set the seed for world-specific mechanics.<\/p>\n<h2>Compatibility<\/h2>\n<p>Using <strong>KubeJS<\/strong> and\/or <strong>Json Things<\/strong>, pack developers can add new Reactions and even new kinds of Power.<\/p>\n<p>The mod has special interactions with <strong>Create<\/strong> (the Display Link can read Crucible information) and (on 1.20.1) <strong>Pehkui<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the mod features built-in compatibility for the following mods, in the form of accepting some of their materials as Power sources. More will be added at request, and remember you can add more with a datapack if needed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quark<\/li>\n<li>Botania<\/li>\n<li>Oh The Biomes You&#8217;ll Go<\/li>\n<li>Mana and Artifice<\/li>\n<li>Ars Nouveau<\/li>\n<li>MagiChem<\/li>\n<li>Malum<\/li>\n<li>Wizards Reborn<\/li>\n<li>Occultism<\/li>\n<li>Hexerei<\/li>\n<li>The Aether<\/li>\n<li>Iron&#8217;s Spellbooks<\/li>\n<li>Goety<\/li>\n<li>Alex&#8217;s Caves<\/li>\n<li>Alex&#8217;s Mobs<\/li>\n<li>Hex Casting<\/li>\n<li>Ars Nouveau<\/li>\n<li>Naturalist<\/li>\n<li>Allay in a Bottle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Usage<\/h2>\n<p>This mod is under the CC-BY-NC-4.0 license, and you are allowed to use it in any modpack you like. I&#8217;d love if you let me know that you&#8217;re using it, but that&#8217;s by no means a requirement.<\/p>\n<h2>Support<\/h2>\n<p>If you encounter a bug or have a suggestion, please send it to the issues page! I&#8217;m making this as a side project, so updates and ports will occur only when I have time.<\/p>\n<p>![ko-fi](https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/G2G416CQBR)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An alchemy-themed magic mod based around in-world experimentation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":129609,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"reactive","_minecraft_project_id":"soWqucCB","_minecraft_author":"hyperlynx","_minecraft_license":"CC-BY-NC-4.0","_minecraft_downloads":14982,"_minecraft_follows":58,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"reactive.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":104765270,"_minecraft_version_count":133,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T21:39:04.625861Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2023-01-22T20:20:56.956665Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-02-24T17:56:07.498079Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/reactive","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":129609,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-07T15:10:14+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"0acfbb9819cd134cc4d094a069fe4730","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[104,89,122,158,92],"mod_loader":[106,160],"minecraft_version":[53,56,59,36,62,37],"class_list":["post-129608","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-forge","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-magic","mod_category-neoforge","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-forge","mod_loader-neoforge","minecraft_version-1-18-2","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
