Reading this synopse is making me want to go through Sky Factory again.

oof

Love that Minecraft modpack.

Basically I'm taking a mumbo jumbo design of a super potion brewer and expanding it to be able to create literally every single potion in the game

Mumbo's design is great but light

Only crafts 7 positive potions and their extended/potent/splash variants

What I'm doing is upgrading it to be able to craft all the negative potions as well as well as their lingering variants

The design I built is already an upgrade that it makes 10 recipes instead of 7

I'm upgrading it to make everything.

Do you have to select ingredients individually still, or will the redstone circuit let you choose potions directly?

The redstone circuit has levers for you to choose modifiers (redstone/glowstone, gunpowder, and soon enough fermented spider eye and dragon's breath) and you just press a button to choose the main ingredient

Very practical!

Say you want a lingering potion of instant damage

You flick the gunpowder, fermented eye and dragon breath lever

Then click the spider eye button

And it brews 3 potions for you

There's only two downsides to this design, really

What?

Its a pain in the ass to refill all the ingredients and shit

And its enormous

Lol

Specially with the more options you put in

Welcome to Minecraft redstone creation.

Honestly mods wouldnt change the size of it much

If I had redpower, the only change would be I could make it thinner

It'd still be enormously wide

Depends on the mods.

Because you cant cut down on all the droppers

You need separate droppers for every ingredient

You simply cant cut down the size on that bit

There are several that allow precise redstone signal timing into single blocks.

There are also transport routing mods that do similar for Hoppers.

... its hard to explain why mods wouldnt help shrinking it down without showing it to you.

Screenshot?

But essentially, you'd only shrink it on one axis

Not on the one that really matters

Imagine this: it looks like a bus

You could make it narrower with mods

Ooh, car analogy time!

You could make it fit in an alley

But you couldnt make it shorter
