Custom Potions are a feature available on the BadWolfMC Network. Unlike in vanilla Minecraft it is not as easy as adding an ingredient to a brewing stand and waiting for it to finish. Depending on the recipe the whole process can be difficult and time consuming. Some recipes may need high precision across multiple complex steps. If even a single step is imprecise, the quality of the potions may suffer and you may experience side effects.
Depending on the recipe, not all steps may be needed. The following describes the more common procedures of crafting custom potions. Players are encouraged to experiment and refine their techniques.
Brewing
The first step consists of brewing the fresh ingredients.
- Place a cauldron over a fire, campfire, or lava source.
- Fill the cauldron with water, lava, or snow (depending on the recipe).
- Add ingredients with a right click.
- Wait while the ingredients steep.
- Use glass bottles to extract the steeped ingredients.
 | PRO TIP: Use (right click) a clock item on a cauldron to keep track of how long the ingredients have been brewing. |
Distilling
Some recipes require distilling ingredients, often multiple times, in order to ensure quality. Distilleries can be crafted using 3 pots and 3 bamboo fences in a vertical 2x3 configuration as shown in the image. The side with the 2 stacked pots serves as the "input" for the potions to be distilled, while the single pot serves as the "output" for potions that have been distilled. This allows for larger batches.
- Put the bottle with brewed ingredients into the distillery input. Particles will appear above the output pot as the potions are distilled.
- Distilled potions can be removed from the output pot once complete.
- Repeat if multiple distillations are required.
Aging
Barrels are needed for aging in many recipes. There are two sizes: medium and large. These barrels are specially built with the material required by the brew. Current materials for barrels include all wood types and cut copper variants. Barrels can be opened by right-clicking on them.
- Put the distilled bottles into the barrels for aging.
- Depending on the recipe, the type of material used may alter the quality of the aged brew.
- Aging times are in units of Minecraft days but listed on the final brew as years.
- The barrel should not be destroyed while aging, as it would leak after a short while.
- When breaking the spigot, everything inside will be dumped out.
- Barrels can be protected with BlockLocker by writing "[private]" on the first line and "Barrel" on the last line of the barrel sign.
Medium barrel
- Use 8 stairs to build a barrel shape.
- Place a sign on the lower right side and write "Barrel" on the first line.
A "Barrel created" message should appear if the barrel was properly built.
Large barrel
Use 5 Fences, 16 stairs, and 18 wood planks or cut copper blocks to build a barrel shape. Attach a spigot (fence) and a sign that has "Barrel" written on the first line.
A "Barrel created" message should appear if the barrel was properly built. For the large barrel only, you may remove the sign after creating it.
| PRO TIP: At any time, you can take the custom potion out of the barrel and place it in at a later date to continue aging it. |
Mixing
Some potions, especially those in our "Brilliant Blends" category, require mixing ingredients. These usually include already completed potions and some other catalyst or garnish.
Mixing is simple and similar to the initial cooking/brewing process, except that a water cauldron is used without a heat source. Ingredients are right-clicked into the cauldron and left to mix for a set amount of time, then extracted again with empty glass bottles. Be careful to follow the recipe since some of these also require additional steps!
Drinking
The effects of the brew will be applied to the player when drinking. Depending on the quality and type of potion it may have different effects.
- The player may not be able to walk normally anymore.
- Chat may be altered depending on the effects of the brew, and many things players write may be incomprehensible, sometimes senseless - bypass this by prefixing your chat with the channel command (e.g.
/g [message]). The player may also say things they didn't intend. - The player may see blocks or items that aren't really there.
- If the brew is particularly strong or improperly brewed it may have several negative effects including toxins that create additional problems.
- When logging off, the player may have difficulties reaching his character, thus some login attempts shortly after may be denied.
- The player may faint (disconnect).
Managing Effects
After drinking it takes a while until the effects are completely gone, but will steadily decrease after consumption. Eating bread, drinking milk, and consuming brews from the "Cures" category can also help to reduce the effects faster.
When logging off, extremely affected players may log back in at a completely unknown place in the middle of nowhere having no idea how they got there. If they log back in after several hours or the next morning, they may also find themselves at /home again.
If the brew was not of the best quality, the player may also experience slowness and hunger for a short time.
Potion Handling
Sealing
Our shop plugin requires all of the items sold from a specific container to be exactly equal, which is accomplished by sealing your brews. This process equalizes similarly crafted potions so that they cannot be aged or modified any further. They will no longer show the finer details of the potion, but they can now be sold in larger batches.
To seal your batch, load all of the desired items into your inventory, hold one of the potions in your hand, and use the command /brew seal all.
Recipes
BadWolfMC has both permanent and seasonal recipes that can be won, purchased, or discovered through experimentation. Recipes can be stored in-game in Dr. Totter's Practical Guide to Pungent Potions, a magical book that keeps track of which recipes you've unlocked and displays the selected recipe in a book GUI for the user. The Guide can be obtained through a custom recipe.
Permanent Recipes
Some basic recipes are automatically unlocked in your recipe book. Most other permanent recipes are obtained by discovering and purchasing them in server builds.
