Idea: add a way to make nodes that give an effect (for varying amounts of time) when left or right clicked (one could make elevators this way). :D

it doesnt work. i cant give error cause i just got segfaults but i did get that the prefix is not right. mainly because the potions pack prefix is "potionspack:" while potions/init.lua makes the prefix "potions:". from the looks of it you did not test your mod. please test it before releaseing it

I fixed that right afterwards :P
You managed to download it in the 3 minutes that elapsed between then and the fix.

EDIT: I take that back, I forgot to push to the repo.

Anyhow, screenshots added.

haha. btw the next version of minitest is ready to come out soon

Ah good, want to add this to it?

i already did but could you add all the potions here? also there should be a potion that negates all effects i think mnecraft has it but idk. another tip maybe is to add a brewing stand like minecraft. i would do this myself bu i dont have the time to learn how. here is the link http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Brewing

maybe you should read the entire first post. also traxie the game is ready for release i just have to upload it

And make a crafting recipe for the cauldron! I want to use this in my videos. :D

A healing and poisoning potion.

A potion of nodularity, which wherever you go, you add a node to your position if it's air.

A potion of acidity, which wherever you are, it removes the node below you if it's not air.

A potion of flying.

A potion of limbo, which transfers you to 12000 and sets your gravity to 0, then when it wears off, transfers you back to your old position.

(When luaside FOV is included) A potion of shortsightedness (Fov at like 200)

A potion of farsightedness (Fov at like 20)

A potion of explosiveness.

A green thumb potion. (Trees, and tall grass are added wherever you are if you are walking on dirt or grass)

A potion of flatulence. (A fart sound is looped and attached to your character)

A potion of slowness.

A potion of awareness. (Particles are spawned at your position and shoot straight up, alerting other players of your position)

A potion of claustrophobia. (You cannot move at all)

Whispering of the winds. (You can see player's text who are using the /whisper command)

A potion of anxiety. (You can only move in one direction)

A potion of teleportation. (When you drink this, you randomly teleport around)

A potion of repulsion. (Item drops are pushed away from you in the radius of 5)

It is technically impossible to see with a field of view => 180 (except if you're using fisheye :P).

For those who wasn't to get a sense of how minecraft potions work and get ideas on potions and how they can be made.
I case you miss this it is easier to see. Also i suggest having potions. that turn off potions(i think i said it before) and one that gives and removes privs. also you could have one that turns into a node or a couple items. a nrewing stand would be nice and cauldrons holding potions are nice also

@jordan4ibanez: Most of your suggestions will work with this API. :D
Unfortunately, I have little time left this week, maybe update PotionsPack Friday.

@jojoa, Ah, thanks.

ATM you have to make your own recipes, I was having trouble with the cauldron yesterday. One is coming though, and it will be quite easy to specify a recipe for it.

Potions already reset previous effects.
Potions tha do anything with the player or environment around the player, or wat the player is looking at are possible. You could even make a potion that restarts the server or ban's someone. :P

There should be throwing potions and I think that potions should merge effects and adding a crafting recipe to the finctio. Would help. Also maybe just make the brewing stand stuff but no function to it.

Oh yeah, forgot about throwing potions. Merging effects would be very complicated for some potions. HOWEVER, potions that effect player physics already merge with those that don't.

The Cauldron (brewing stand) will be released once completed.

Crafting recipes will eventually be as simple as adding "default:item, modname:item" to the potion definition.

Good idea! One thing though, in my opinion I don't like the server telling you that you have been blessed with: (potion effect)

We need some way to know what you have on you, but I agree, it is kinda ugly.

Yeah. One thing I noticed is that the particle effects fly up a lot farther then they should. Can you fix that? Another thing is they should be drinkable. The particles should also match the color of the potions.

I wanted the particles to last for a long time, but I will decrease them.
The coloring will come later, It's just a pain to make an overly for every color.

Idk how to make them really drinkable, but they shouldn't use up the bottle.

make it a food. i will look into it.

I was thinking of making them empty once you drank them

yeah. also here is a plan i made of the cauldron
Key:
p=potin
I=items
W=water glass
f=fuel

This is how you make items. for throwing just do on use and set the velocity to ssommmmmmmmmethiiiiiiiing. look at the bows mood by pilzadaam for thhrowing itemms..

Oke, thanks jojo, I had no idea there was an actual eat function.

add one that adds HP,
one that decreases HP,
one that makes you grow,
and one that makes you shrink

Could you please paste what code you have for cauldrons right now

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

on_use = minetest.item_eat(4),

for throwing just do on use and set the velocity to ssommmmmmmmmethiiiiiiiing. look at the bows mood by pilzadaam for thhrowing itemms..

the eating goes like this on_use = minetest.item_eat(health, returned item)

+100 Cool mod. But I'll suggest some improvements:

-Stop potion's effects when the player die.
-Reduce player's speed in the potion of gravitation (It's cheaty that a player flies very quickly on the air)

Thanks for this mod
