## you should download Toil and Trouble instead lmao<\/p>\n
By the time you access brewing, potions can already feel outclassed by enchantments. To give them a place again, **Teatime** adds a simple way to brew basic potions early-game!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The **Kettle** can be crafted with 6 Copper Ingots, adding an extra use to Copper and making it accessible very early \u2014 in exchange, it can only brew 1 potion at a time and cannot strengthen them. By default, Awkward Potions can be made in the Kettle with any **Mushroom** in place of Nether Wart.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kettles don’t require fuel, but can be placed over **hot** blocks to speed them up! Fire, Campfires, and their Soul variants offer a 1.5x boost, while a lit Furnace, Blast Furnace, or Smoker will brew twice as fast! <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Teatime features full JEI support and **data-driven recipes** making use of 1.21’s Item Component system. To demonstrate, it includes balanced potions for effects that didn’t previously have them, like Haste, Saturation, Glowing, and Blindness. They can all be edited or disabled through datapacks. <\/p>\n
## FAQ
\n– **Why is the UI so clunky?** I’m still working on it… The separate output slot was necessary to support stackable potions. I don’t like it either.<\/p>\n
– **Why mushrooms?** Growing mushroom colonies is fun! It’s an underutilized mechanic. Why not? Replace it if you like. Spider Eyes are another good choice, I think.<\/p>\n
– **The Brewing Stand has a much better design.** I know…T_T It’s much more visual. Not a lot of thought went into the model for this mod i just thought a tea kettle would be cute and vaguely make sense <\/p>\n
– **How can I change the recipes?** JSON recipes are read from `teatime:data\/recipes`. `base` is the item that goes in the bottle slot, `ingredient` is the item in the upper slot, and `result` is the output item \u2014 both `base` and `output` are ItemStacks and will match PotionContents attributes if included. I recommend unzipping the mod file to copy and edit the recipes it comes with!<\/p>\n
– **You can already make custom potion recipes with BlueLib.** Yeah. If you want to edit recipes for the Brewing Stand, please use it instead.<\/p>\n
## How else can I improve Minecraft’s brewing?
\nTeatime was designed to be used with Stackable Potions or an equivalent mod, and the ever-essential Amendments adds potion mixing in Cauldrons. I highly recommend them both! Also \u2014 huge thanks to KaupenJoe and his tutorial series for providing the base BlockEntity code I ripped off to make this <3\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
