flamepot
flamepot is a Minecraft Datapack which adds a new type of potion called Potion of Flames. Main function of these potions is setting players, mobs and entities on fire. Inspired by this video.
About
This datapack adds 6 new items - 3 Potion of Flames and 3 Splash Potion of Flames, both with different amplifiers. Currently, there is only one available effect called Burning, which can be found in three different states. These states are called Burning, Burning II and Burning III, where the first is the weakest and the last is the strongest.
This effect sets the entity on fire and deals 1 fire damage every 20 ticks with the Burning amplifier 1, 1 fire damage every 15 ticks with the Burning amplifier 2 and 1 fire damage every 10 ticks with the Burning amplifier 3.
The Potion of Flames is a consumable potion which only affects the consumer and gives no benefits. Throwing a Splash Potion of Flames will give the Burning effect to everything in a radius of 4 blocks from where the potion collides.
Crafting
You can craft the tier 1 Potion of Flames by throwing an awkward potion on a crafting table with exactly 10 blaze powders. After a few moments, a Potion of Flames should appear. If you again drop exactly 10 blaze powders next to the new potion, you will get a new Potion of Flames which gives the Burning II effect. Dropping exactly 10 blaze powders the third time will result in a Potion of Flames tier 3 which gives the Burning III effect. Adding gunpowder next to any of these potions will result in a Splash Potion of Flames with identical amplifiers. If you want to convert the Splash Potion of Flames back into a Potion of Flames, you can drop an empty bucket next to it.
Useful info:
- Rain doesn't remove the Burning effect!
- After drinking the Potion of Flames, you can get rid of the effect only by waiting or by drinking milk!
- After getting the effect from the Splash Potion of Flames, you can get rid of the effect only by waiting or by jumping into water or into a water cauldron!
