Zauber Cauldrons: Difference between revisions

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]]}}

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.

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.

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.

The Luck status effect, required for Zauber [[Zauber Cauldrons#Luck|Crystals]] to function, can be obtained from a recipe involving "lucky" flowers. This recipe is seed-specific, and will vary from world-to-world, requiring the players to experiment and discover the ingredients themselves.

By experimenting with each flower individually, one can determine which flowers are lucky and which are poisonous by recording which ones emit poison clouds when added to the recipe.<ref group="note">On [[Public Server 6|PS6]] the lucky flowers are; poppies, dandelions, blue orchids, white tulips, red tulips, pink tulips, oxeye daisies, and lilies of the valley. </ref>

This recipe requires an Enchanted Prismarine Shard, Magic in a Bottle, and some quantity of both Chorus Fruit and Popped Chorus Fruit. The destination of the wormhole will match the location where vexes contained within the [[Zauber Cauldrons#Extraneous Ingredients|Magic in a Bottle]] were caught. The precise quantity of the Chorus and Popped Chorus Fruit changes from world-to-world, but will be between 1 and 64 for each. <ref group="note">In [[Public Server 6|PS6]] the precise amount of popped chorus fruit is 4. The correct amount of chorus fruit is 35.</ref>

Wormholes explode when the players reach their destination, damaging surrounding blocks but not harming the player. This explosion can be contained if the destination is within a Zauber Cauldron. In practice this means the cauldron used to create the Magic in a Bottle shouldn't be removed without blast-proofing the surrounding area.

If too few Chorus or Popped Chorus are used in the recipe, the resulting Wormhole will be "blurry", teleporting the player to random nearby location. Since this new location will likely not be inside a Zauber Cauldron, consuming the potion will cause an explosion at the destination.

The precise amount of Chorus Fruit, the amounts that will neither create a blurry wormhole nor summon vexes, can be determined via experimentation and testing. One common experimental method involves counting the number of Possessed Items that are summoned, which is the number of excess Chorus Fruit that was used, and reducing the input number of fruit by that quantity until a precise Wormhole is produced.

Heating a Zauber Cauldron with a Soul Fire instead of ordinary Fire will alter the nature of any potion created by the cauldron, allowing a single potion to be consumed multiple times. These "Ghostly" potions contain 3 doses of whatever their effect is.<ref group="note">Until 1.16 on PS6, "Ghostly" potions can be obtained by placing Soul Sand 3 blocks below a Zauber Cauldron</ref>
