Zauber Cauldrons: Difference between revisions

{{Incomplete}}

This module adds a wide range of features to minecraft's cauldrons, ranging all the way from tier IV potions to magical gear and wormhole potions. Zauber Cauldrons acts as a complete package and adds a whole new branch of magic to your game!{{ModuleInfobox|name=Zauber Cauldrons|icon=zauber_cauldrons.png|versions=1.15|creator=Bloo|updater=Bloo|type=Stand Alone|complementary=[[Liquid Tanks/Zauber Liquids|Zauber Liquids]]}}

== Getting Started ==

<!-- This section is likely being removed entirely for consistency with other pages and to remove redundancy -->Zauber Cauldrons is accessible once the player has gained access to  an enchanted book, some source of fire and a cauldron. Though, a lot of the module's features require items that are only obtainable once a considerable amount of world exploration has been done.

=== Creation ===

A Zauber Cauldron is formed by standing next to a cauldron, provided the following criteria are met:

* The player is holding ''any'' enchanted book

* There must be fire below the cauldron

Zauber Cauldrons cause steam to show as long as they're ready to perform a crafting operation - i.e. as long as they have a sufficient amount of water and a fire block below.

== Features ==

Zauber Cauldrons are an expansion to the game's magic system, allowing the creation of stronger potions, magical armor, effect granting crystals, and bottled wormholes. Several features in this module are dependent on the world seed, changing recipes and encouraging players to experimentally discover exactly how to use the most powerful features.

 

=== Creation ===

A Zauber Cauldron is created by "bespelling a boiling cauldron by reading out of a spell book". Any water-filled cauldron with fire below it can be used, and any enchanted book will suffice. To "read" from the spell book, simply hold the enchanted book and stand next to the cauldron. The cauldron will begin to give off steam, indicating the newly formed Zauber Cauldron is ready for use.[[File:Zauber-cauldron.png|thumb|A Zauber Cauldron with some steam coming off of it.|alt=]]

{{Crafting|Input=[[File:ZauberCauldronLayout.png|90px]]|Output=[[File:ZauberCauldronLayout2.png|96px]]}}<!-- This Crafting Cell turned out poorly and will be changed soon -->

 

All Zauber Cauldron recipes are performed by dropping items into the cauldron. Once the proper ingredients are inside, the resulting item will form, consuming the ingredients and some water. To assist in the process, a player looking at a Zauber Cauldron will be unable to pick up items currently within it until they look away.

==== Potions ====

Zauber Cauldrons can be used to strengthen any Tier II potions into Tier IV potions. This recipe requires Prismarine Crystals, a Golden Apple, and a Tier II Potion.  

Be cautious when performing these recipes. They all have a side effect, either to the strengthening process or to the effects of the potion.

!Recipe

==== Advanced Reactants ====

Many advanced Zauber Cauldron recipes use "Enchanted Prismarine Shards" as an ingredient. Enchanting a Prismarine Shard requires 30 levels of experience.

!Recipe

|Enchanted Prismarine Shard

|{{Crafting

| gm4:Enchanted Prismarine Shard

==== Extraneous Ingredients ====

If any unneeded ingredients are added to a Zauber Cauldron during a crafting process, they will be transformed into "Possessed Items" — weaponless Vexes that pester the player and die a few seconds later. Each excess item entity in the cauldron transforms into a single Possessed Item.

==== Crystals ====

As an alternative to potions Zauber Cauldrons adds so called Crystals. These hold a potion effect and will never run out of it - quite useful for general survival or trips to dangerous locations.

Crystals are crafted using Sea Lanterns, Prismarine Crystals and an enchanted book of protection IV; The type of protection specifies the type of crystal.

|Regeneration II<ref group="note">Even though this is Regeneration II, this is stronger than Regeneration II since the effect is renewed every 14 seconds.</ref>

==== Luck ====

Unlike in vanilla, the luck potion effect is a core element to advanced Zauber Cauldron magic. Crystals are only active when the player has the luck effect; luck can also effect fishing loot.

To obtain the effect the player needs to perform the Luck recipe in a Zauber Cauldron, which depends on the world's seed. On module installation the module randomly groups the 10 types of small vanilla flowers into to categories: "normal" and "poisonous".<ref group="note">On [[Public Server 6|PS6]] the normal flowers are poppies, dandelions, blue orchids, white tulips, red tulips, pink tulips, oxeye daisies, and lilies of the valley. </ref> To obtain the luck effect the player needs to combine all "normal" flowers, no "poisonous" flowers, an Enchanted Prismarine Shard and finally a piece of cut tall grass in a Zauber Cauldron.

Upon doing so, nearby players will be granted the luck potion effect. This effect will not wear off and can only be voided by death.

If the wrong flowers are used, the result depends on whether any of said flowers are poisonous. If none of the flowers are poisonous, nothing will happen, and the reactants will not be consumed. If at least one of the flowers is poisonous, the reactants will be consumed, a poison area effect cloud will be placed on top of the cauldron, and vexes will fly out.

These differing results are useful in finding the recipe for your current world. By testing what happens for an individual flower, one can find which flowers are normal and which are poisonous, and then use the recipe with the normal flowers.

==== Wormhole in a Bottle ====

Wormholes in a Bottle allows the user to teleport to the location the [[Zauber Cauldrons#Advanced Reactants|Magic in a Bottle]] was caught at - even across dimensions. To create one, 1-64 chorus and popped chorus fruit is needed; the amount of chorus and popped chorus fruit is randomized based on the world seed.<ref group="note">In [[Public Server 6|PS6]] the correct amount of popped chorus fruit is 4. The correct amount of chorus fruit is 35.</ref>

'''Guide to: How to create Wormholes in a Bottle'''

Wormholes in a Bottle allows the player to teleport to the location where the Magic in a Bottle was caught at (even across dimensions).

To create a Wormhole in a Bottle (in PSVI) you'll need:

- 1x Magic in a Bottle

- 4x Popped Chorus Fruit

The amounts of Chorus and Popped Fruit will vary 1 to 64 depending on the world seed.

On PSVI: 35 Chorus Fruit and 4 Popped as mentioned before.

'''Creation of the Zauber Cauldron:'''

 

- Cauldron (filled with water)

 

- Fire

 

To activate the Zauber Cauldron, you'll have to stand near the Cauldron while holding an enchanted book.

To create 3-sip wormholes, you'll have to add an extra block of Soul Sand under the Netherrack. In 1.16 version of minecraft, you'll have to do Soul Fire instead of Fire to get this same effect according to misode.

'''Creation of the Enchanted Prismarine Shard:'''

To create an Enchanted Prismarine Shard, you'll have to drop a Prismarine Shard into the Zauber Cauldron while carrying 30 XP Levels (the levels will be consumed).

To create Magic in a Bottle while doing the previous recipe, add to it 3 bulk items that don't stack in between them and a glass bottle.

You can always get Magic in a Bottle by doing any Zauber recipe and adding 3 bulk items and a glass bottle.

=== Technical Details ===

Zauber Cauldrons uses Raycasting to ensure items in a Zauber cauldron can not be picked up.

Once the module has found a Zauber Cauldron that's ready for crafting checks, the module checks for so called "identifier Items". These are items that are unique to a recipe category, e.g. prismarine crystals for the Category "potions". Once such an item is found the module will start to go through all the entries for a recipe Category. These are specified within the <category folder/<category name>.mcfunction, E.g. Potions/Zauber_Potions.mcfuntion. At this point the function checks for a second order identifier item, e.g. a speed potion, which is again unique within the category. Once that is found a function unique for the actual recipe checks for all the items that all recipes of the category have in common (e.g. golden apples for potion recipes) and then summons the output item.
