🖤 NIGREDO: Beyond Alchemy

The Great Work begins in darkness.

Nigredo replaces recipe-book brewing with true experimental alchemy. Every ingredient carries hidden essences — throw them into the Nigredo Cauldron, watch the liquid change color, and discover what your mixture becomes. No fixed recipes shown. No hand-holding. Just you, the fire, and the unknown.

✦ Features

🫕 The Nigredo Cauldron — a blackstone-and-copper cauldron that demands a heat source below. Regular fire and soul fire produce different results from the same mixture. Throw in up to 3 ingredients, watch the brew react, and extract with the vessel of your choice.

⚗️ The vessel defines the form — craft your container before brewing: Glass Bottles for classic potions, stackable Vials, throwable Volatile Ampoules, lingering Nebulous Ampoules — or dip arrows straight into the cauldron (1 dose = 8 tipped arrows, the mechanic Java Edition never had).

🔮 Dozens of secret recipes — beyond recreating every vanilla potion, the cauldron hides 49+ special combinations: Miner's Potion, Ethereal Flight, Magnetism, the Summoning, the Depths... Their recipes appear nowhere. Experiment, take notes, share rumors.

💎 Catalysts — choose wisely — powerful recipes demand a rare catalyst. Use the right one and get the full potion. Cheap out with the wrong one and receive its treacherous twin: the Thief's Potion turns you invisible... the Marked Thief's Potion turns you invisible and glowing. The fall is always the consequence.

💥 Alchemical failure has teeth — unstable mixtures don't just fizzle: small explosions, poison clouds, accidental living slimes, unstable potions with random effects... or the precious Nigredo Residue, raw matter of the Azuth.

💍 Rings of power, priced in experience — impregnate a ring with an effect and wear it in your offhand for permanent uptime — drained from your XP bar. The Azuth ring line (5 tiers, forged from transmuted Azuth) raises the ceiling... and the cost.

🛠️ Fortification Bench, Alchemical Base, custom effects with custom icons, full pt-BR + English localization, zero required dependencies.

Data-driven: every ingredient's essence profile lives in datapack JSON — modpack makers can add ingredients from any mod without touching code.

🖤 NIGREDO: Beyond Alchemy (Português)

A Grande Obra começa pela escuridão.

O Nigredo substitui o brewing de receitas fixas por alquimia experimental de verdade. Cada ingrediente carrega essências ocultas — jogue-os no Caldeirão Nigredo, veja o líquido mudar de cor e descubra o que sua mistura se torna.

Destaques: caldeirão com calor quente/frio (fogo comum e fogo de alma dão resultados diferentes!), recipientes que definem a forma da poção (frascos empilháveis, ampolas arremessáveis e persistentes, flechas mergulhadas direto no caldo), 49+ receitas secretas com catalisadores — o catalisador errado gera a versão traiçoeira —, sistema de falhas com consequências (explosões, nuvens tóxicas, slimes acidentais), anéis movidos a XP com a linha Azuth em 5 tiers, Bancada de Fortificação, efeitos customizados com ícones próprios e tradução completa PT-BR.

Sem dependências obrigatórias. Compatível com modpacks (testado junto a 69 mods). Sistema data-driven: adicione ingredientes de outros mods via datapack.
