Description
This mod empowers Cauldrons with additional functionality, including the ability to brew Potions. ## Installation Toil and Trouble is a client and server mod for Fabric and NeoForge 1.21.1 and Fabric 1.21.11. Its dependencies are listed below. #### Dependencies - [Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) is required on Fabric Loader. - [McQoy](https://modrinth.com/mod/mcqoy) is recommended to configure the mod. - [RRV](https://modrinth.com/mod/rrv) is recommended to see data-driven cauldron recipes. ## Features - Cauldrons can now be used for brewing! Fill a cauldron up with water and insert a Nether Wart to brew it into an Awkward Potion, and then add a reagent like Blaze Powder to brew a Potion (Fire Resistance, in the case of Blaze Powder). - Unlike Brewing Stands, Cauldrons do not require fuel. This is intentional, but a config option can be changed to make them require heating, or to allow heating to speed up the brewing process. - Potions can be retrieved with Bottles, and Arrows can be dipped into Potion Cauldrons in order to turn them into Tipped Arrows. You can even throw items directly into the Cauldron to automate the brewing process. - Cauldron Brewing recipes are also data-driven. Cauldrons prefer their own data-driven recipes, but will use recipes meant for the brewing stand if present. You can also disable this behaviour to solely have Cauldrons use their own recipes. ## Mod Compatibility - Modded brewing recipes will work out of the box, as this mod allows cauldrons to craft anything a Brewing Stand can. - [Jade](https://modrinth.com/mod/jade) and [WTHIT](https://modrinth.com/mod/wthit) shows the contents of Potion Cauldrons. - [JEI](https://modrinth.com/mod/jei), [EMI](https://modrinth.com/mod/emi), and [RRV](https://modrinth.com/mod/rrv) show data-driven Cauldron Brewing recipes. - If you are using this mod alongside [Amendments](https://modrinth.com/mod/amendments), it's recommended to disable its Improved Cauldron functionality, as its changes to the cauldron intersect with this mod's. - [Chorus Honey](https://modrinth.com/mod/chorus-honey) can be crafted via this mod. ## FAQ - Will this mod be ported to other versions/loaders? - The mod actively supports the latest version of Minecraft (currently 26.1). There is no plan to backport to older versions or any other loaders, as the mod relies extensively on 1.21+ features. ## License [](https://github.com/cassiancc/toil-and-trouble/blob/main/LICENSE.txt) Toil and Trouble is available under the open source MIT License. Note that this means you are required to attribute the mod if you use any content from it in your own projects. ## Credits Designed alongside feedback from the [ModFest](https://modfest.net/) and [Raspberry Flavoured](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/raspberry-flavoured) Discord servers, special thanks in particular to [Bagels](https://modrinth.com/user/mythrilbagels) and [Sisby folk](https://modrinth.com/user/sisby-folk).
