Impact: (1)

• Gameplay is mostly similar to vanilla.

• Scaling is linear and based on progression and familiarity.

Abilities:

All abilities from previous levels are retained on level-up. Some crafting recipes are spoilered in case you want to discover them as you play.

Level 1: (Novice) Alchemist

Field Research:

Explore new recipes to fill your Research bar, and gain Experience each time it's filled.

• Standard Issue: You start with a notebook, three bottles, and a pair of shears.
• Mind Over Matter: You deal reduced attack damage and are more vulnerable to incoming damage, but gain more overall XP.

Tools of The Trade:

Craft special recipes in your inventory by right-clicking one ingredient with another.

• Handy: You can craft bundles, repair leather armor, and apply wax to tools in your inventory.
• Component Pouch: You have extra inventory space for alchemical reagents. Access with the Primary key.

Basic Crafting Recipes:

Potion recipes are displayed in-game as part of the Well-Worn Notebook.

Level 2: Skilled Alchemist

Level Up Requirement: Calcinate your first potion.

Multidisciplinary:

Explore the Overworld and discover new recipes to hone your skills.

• Flask Carrier: You have extra inventory space for storing your potions. Access with the Secondary key.
• Journeyman (unlisted): You exhaust a little slower and can go sleepless for longer before spawning phantoms.

(You can craft the recipes without learning them in-game, but you get XP for unlocking them all, so please don't cheat :D)

Advanced Crafting Recipes:

Potion recipes are compiled in-game via the Unfinished Manuscript.

Level 3: Master Alchemist

Level Up Requirement: Distill a potion after crafting at least one of each category of level 2 recipe.

Expeditionary:

Create your own* experimental recipes.

• Cerated Body: You lose two hearts but gain passive damage resistance (just barely enough to mitigate the lost health.)
• Steady Hands: You have a chance to save some ingredients when you craft a potion.

Masterwork Recipes:

Potion recipes are displayed in-game as part of the Alchemist's Logbook.

Additional Information:

Potion Usage:

• Crafted potions generally fall into four categories: Consumables, Throwables, Applicables, and Placeables.

• Consumables are drank like normal potions, and add to a shared duration pool.

• Throwables are thrown with the Attack key, and usually break the bottle.

• Applicables are applied by use in the inventory (or by Using in the mainhand while holding a valid offhand item).

• Placeables are placed on solid blocks by Using them.

• Some potions may fall into multiple categories.

• Most potions have vanilla effects attached to them in case the effect handler breaks.

Known Issues:

• Crafting doesn't play well with creative mode.
