Potions' Recipe Book/Libro de recetas de pociones (Datapack compiled to Mod)
Brewing in Minecraft has always been a trial-and-error affair. You either memorize the intricate chain of Nether Wart, glowstone dust, and awkward potions, or you alt-tab to a wiki every five minutes. That workflow ends today. With the Potions' Recipe Book/Libro de recetas de pociones (Datapack compiled to Mod), every single potion recipe is stored directly inside your game, accessible through a single, beautifully organized book.
This add-on is a datapack that has been compiled into a mod, giving you the best of both worlds: the lightweight, vanilla-friendly logic of a datapack with the convenience and compatibility of a mod. It works seamlessly across both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, supporting Minecraft versions 1.16 through 1.20, and is compatible with popular loaders like Fabric, Forge, and Quilt. Whether you are a redstone engineer who needs instant health potions or a builder who just wants a splash potion of slow falling, this tool is a game-changer.
Why You Will Never Need a Wiki Again
The core promise is simple: all potion recipes, from the base awkward potion to the most complex lingering effects, are displayed in a dedicated in-game book. No more searching through external sites, no more forgotten ingredient combinations, and no more wasting precious blaze powder on failed brews. The book is organized by category, so you can quickly jump to healing, damage, buffs, or debuffs.
For English players, the book is called "PRB" (Potions' Recipe Book). For Spanish speakers, it is labeled "LRP" (Libro de Recetas de Pociones). Both versions are included in the same download, so you can switch languages depending on your preference. The interface is clean, and the recipes are displayed with clear icons and step-by-step instructions, making it perfect for newcomers and veterans alike.
How to Obtain the Book In-Game
Getting your hands on the book is straightforward, but there is a small twist. If you do not watch the tutorial video, you can check the advancements tab for a subtle hint. The primary method is to craft the book using a book and a brewing stand, but the exact recipe is hidden to encourage exploration. For a direct approach, you can also use the command /give @p prb:recipe_book (or lrp:recipe_book for Spanish). Once you have it, simply right-click to open the full catalog.
This is where the convenience of the mod shines. Instead of having to remember a complex command or locate a hidden structure, you can rely on the advancements tab to guide you. The developers have thoughtfully integrated a "help" advancement that appears when you first load the world, pointing you toward the crafting recipe.
Installation Guide: How to Install
Installing this add-on is a breeze, but the process differs slightly depending on your platform. For Java Edition, you will need to download the mod file (either .jar or .zip) and place it in your mods folder. Ensure you have the correct loader installed (Fabric, Forge, or Quilt) and that your Minecraft version matches the mod version. For Bedrock Edition, you will need to import the .mcpack file into your world's behavior packs folder.
If you are using the foxygame.net launcher, the process is even smoother. The launcher features an integrated add-on catalog where you can directly search for and download Potions' Recipe Book/Libro de recetas de pociones (Datapack compiled to Mod) with a single click, and it automatically handles version compatibility, so you never have to worry about mismatched loaders or outdated files.
