AMPED AND REVAMPED: FARMING AND POTION MAKING
Hello again and welcome to Amped and Revamped. This time, I am suggesting a potion making makeover as well as some new implementations to farming!
Our current list of potions looks like this (Without levels):
Weakness, Strength, Fire Resistance, Poison, Instant Health, Regeneration, Swiftness, Slowness, Harming
My proposition is to keep these same potions, but add a new line of potions that are intertwined with farming. In order to discuss the new potions, I must first introduce you to my first suggestion!
AMPING UP FARMING: 1. New Plants: a. Veggies:
Potatoes (Sour Compost I)
Carrots (Sour Compost II)
Broccoli (Sour Compost III)
Onions (Sour Compost IV)
Radishes (Sour Compost V) b. Fruits:
Pumpkins (Sweet Compost I)
Melons (Sweet Compost II)
Tomatoes (Sweet Compost III)
Strawberries (Sweet Compost IV)
Blueberries (Sweet Compost V) c. Mushrooms:
Brown Mushroom (Bitter Compost I)
Red Spotted Mushroom (Bitter Compost II)
Indigo Mushroom (Bitter Compost III)
Golden Mushroom (Bitter Compost IV)
White Mushroom (Bitter Compost V) d. Cereals:
Wheat (Bland Compost I)
Rice (Bland Compost II)
Corn(Bland Compost III)
2. The making of Compost Why do I need compost?
The simplest answer I have for you is to add layers to Farming. Each type of compost would be required to grow the next type of that category of food. Example: In order to grow strawberries, you would need to create compost out of Tomatoes. You could, however, use compost from Blueberries to grow Melons on up. Pumpkins would not require compost as they are the base. So now, how is compost made?
Easily enough, there will be a new compost bin which is similar to an open chest, except once it is full, it closes. When the compost has completely fermented, the bin would open automatically. You would then collect your compost, whatever type it may be, via bowls. Each type/level of compost can be held as a stack of up to 64. Four items go in the bin and the yield is 3-7 bowls of compost.
3. Sweet Nectar a. Beehives
These would be made by placing 6 wooden planks on top, and two on each side of the bottom. They automatically fill with bees when surrounded by 10 flowers within 5 blocks of the hive in every direction.
Right clicking the hives every five minutes with a bowl would give a bowl of nectar. Nectar + Sugar would yield honey.
The other use for nectar is as an antidote, just like milk. It can also be used in a special potion I will be suggesting later in the post. b. Super Compost
Placing all three level V composts in the compost bin with a bowl of honey would yield Super Compost.
Super compost will allow you to fertilize all types of plants and cuts growth time by to 1/3 the normal time.
It is also an ingredient for one of the ‘aesthetic’ potions I will suggest later in the post.
4. White one Rice…Paper
Yes, paper will be made out of rice rather than sugar cane. The same method of making it, just the ingredient is changed. This means that sugar cane has the sole purpose of making sugar now.
5. The seeds, where are they?! a. Hoes Revamped!
With all these new seeds, where will you get them from? Certainly not chests again! That would make it near impossible to make some simple paper. No, Seeds have a varying level of chance to be obtained when using your hoe to create farmland. Of course the lower level the seed, the more likely it is to be dropped. Also, when digging in the dirt, there’s a possibility of running into seeds.
As well, there would be an enchantment for hoes with this. Luck I-IV; this would allow you increasing chance to find higher value seeds; with luck IV giving you a very slim chance for low value seeds and a moderate – high chance for higher value seeds. b. Plant Potion no. 9
So you’re probably thinking well what if I don’t want to till the soil for hours on end trying to obtain a plentiful amount of blueberry seeds? Simple enough; if you use your compost with a sweet potion (honey and water bottle) it will give you ‘blueberry potion’ (Provided the compost you used to create the potion was Sweet Compost IV). This blueberry potion can be poured on the soil to instantly spawn a single blueberry seed. This could then be planted in your garden/farm to start an entire patch of blueberries.
6. The use for Level V composts! HERBS!
Of course, with level five compost you will need more than just the ability to plant whatever tier of that category plant you want; you will need the ability to grow something special.
HERBS! Yes, with level five compost you can grow four new types of herbs. Each type of compost will yield the perfect environment for a different type of herb.
Bitter Compost V: Milk Thistle
Sweet Compost V: Ginseng
Sour Compost V: Lemon Balm
Super Compost: Aconite
Finally, it is time to tell you about the second portion of this suggestion. Some new potions are available in…
POTIONMAKING REVAMPED!
1. Herbal Concoctions a. Milk Thistle: After adding this herb to your bottled water you can only add mushrooms for the following potions. Brown Mushroom – Gill Potion: While in effect under water, your bubbles take much longer to deplete.
Red Spotted – Drain Potion: Damage you do to others heals you partially.
Indigo – Purple Power: Replenishes some of the uses on a sword if drank while wielding a damaged sword.
Otherwise, causes critical hits to be temporarily unattainable on self.
Golden – Drugged Potion: Causes a drunken effect, double vision, things appear skewed and either further or closer. If drank, it will also heal all of your hearts as well regardless of hunger.
White – Shield Potion: Increases the amount of damage you can take by turning some of your hearts blue. The effect lasts until you take damage and lose all the hearts. They will not be healed back.
b. Ginseng: After adding this herb to your bottled water you can only add fruits for the following potions.
Pumpkins – Invisibility Potion: Makes it so aggressive mobs can’t see you until you attack them or sprint by them.
Melons – Double Jump Potion: Allows you a certain amount of time with the ability to jump once in midair. This would also allow for softer landings from tall places.
Tomatoes – High Strung Potion: Allows for shooting of two arrows at once for a short time.
Strawberries – Hot shot potion: Allows for a longer zoom when shooting with the bow for a short time.
Blueberries – Swift Rapids: Provides faster sea travel for a limited duration
c. Lemon Balm: After adding this herb to your bottled water you can only add veggies for the following potions: Potatoes – Eye of the Spud Potion: Gives increased seed yield for all materials harvested.
Carrots – Positive Situation Potion: Negates all negative effects either in the radius of the blast potion or for the drinker. It will add 1 hunger point if dying of hunger.
Broccoli – Wet Fuse Potion: When used against a creeper causes them to have a longer time to detonate. If used on a person, It slows their healing process. If used on a poisoned person, it speeds up the effect of poisoning.
Onions – Puppy chow: when using it on a bone, allows guaranteed taming of wolves. As a blast potion, it heals all wolves/dogs/zombies in the radius.
Radishes – Catnip: Allows for instant taming of ocelots when poured on the fish that you feed them. Also, if you use the potion on your cat, it will allow you to choose their fur type.
d. Aconite: After adding this herb to your bottled water you can add any fruit, vegetable, or mushroom, as well as Milk and Honey and Super Compost. As a side note, milk and honey is made by crafting a bucket of milk and a bowl of honey together. You get a bucket of milk and honey and a bowl pops into your inventory.
Fruits – Death is not the end: It kills you and sets you back at your spawn point. You also lose all your items no matter what, but you keep 60% of your experience. Each higher level of fruit adds an extra 5% experience kept.
Veggies – Just the Start: It kills you and sends you back to your original spawn point, destroying all of your items and your experience, but it also resets your true spawn point to whatever your current location is. This means that Compasses will direct you to that spot even. Each higher level veggie adds a small amount of experience that you will be able to keep on death.
Mushrooms – Fire and Brimstone: Teleports one thing/person not attached to the ground to the nearest safe point in the nether. Each higher level teleports more things/people.
Milk and Honey – Oddity: Prevents any negative status effects from occurring for a short time.
Super Compost – Oddity no.2: Grows flowers, pumpkins, and melons to abnormally large sizes when poured on them.
e. Last notes:
Just to add, milk and honey has an extra use as it is a food source that adds pure saturation as well as regular health points. The down side is, it doesn’t stack.
Almost forgot about the corn! Bland compost III can be used to grow level 4 fruits, veggies, and mushrooms; which is handy if you happen to have Corn seeds, level 2 bland compost, and level 4 fruit seeds, but not level 3 fruit, compost, or seeds. I just didn’t want to overpower bland compost by adding a level 4 and level 5 version of it.
THANKS FOR READING! And as usual, please leave a comment whatever it may be. Just not flames or spam.
Thank you. What do you think of a potion of stealth rather than invisibility? it would be the same recipe, just it would make it so you have to sneak to be invisible. Figured that would make it a little less OP if anybody thinks it is, not sure.
