Repellent Potions
Ever wish you could just tell mobs to go away without building a wall or lighting up every square inch of your world? Well, now you can. Introducing Repellent Potions, a collection of powerful brews that keep those pesky mobs at bay. Splash, drink, or linger near the potion’s aura, and nearby mobs will think twice before coming close. No more surprise Creepers. No more Phantoms dive-bombing your midnight flights. Just peaceful adventuring, your way.
What Are Repellent Potions?
This add-on transforms your brewing stand into a tool of peaceful coexistence. Instead of fighting every hostile creature you meet, you can now craft a potion that makes them keep their distance. The mod is designed for players who love building, exploring, or simply want a quieter survival experience. Whether you are working on a mega-base or fishing by the ocean, these potions give you breathing room.
Supported Minecraft versions include 1.20.1, 1.19.2, and 1.18.2, with the Fabric and Forge loaders both supported. That means most players can jump right in without worrying about compatibility issues.
The Repelling Lineup
Eight potions, each crafted to repel a specific nuisance. Here is the full list of what you can brew:
- Creeper Repellent: Keeps Creepers at a safe distance - your builds will thank you.
- Drowned Repellent: Finally, you can fish in peace without trident ambushes.
- Enderman Repellent: Stare all you want - they won’t even blink.
- Phantom Repellent: Because sleeping is optional, not mandatory.
- Skeleton Repellent: No more arrow volleys from the shadows.
- Spider Repellent: Web-free living at last.
- Vex Repellent: Turns those ghostly annoyances into distant memories.
- Zombie Repellent: For when you’ve had enough of the undead moaning at your door.
Brewing Recipes
Each repelling potion is brewed by infusing a Potion of Repellent with its respective mob drop (where possible). Think of it as capturing the mob’s essence - and turning it against them. The process is simple once you have the base potion ready.
Base Potion
Start by brewing a Honey Comb with a Water Bottle. This creates the Potion of Repellent, which is the foundation for every other brew in the mod.
Mob-Specific Infusions
- String + Repellent Potion = Creeper Repellent Potion
- Prismarine Shard + Repellent Potion = Drowned Repellent Potion
- Ender Pearl + Repellent Potion = Enderman Repellent Potion
- Phantom Membrane + Repellent Potion = Phantom Repellent Potion
- Bone + Repellent Potion = Skeleton Repellent Potion
- Spider Eye + Repellent Potion = Spider Repellent Potion
- Emerald + Repellent Potion = Vex Repellent Potion
- Rotten Flesh + Repellent Potion = Zombie Repellent Potion
Gathering these ingredients is part of the fun. You will need to hunt specific mobs to get their drops, which adds a nice layer of progression to the mod. Once you have the ingredients, the brewing is straightforward and fast.
How to Use the Potions
Just drink, splash, or apply the potion as you would any other. While active, affected mobs will avoid you within a 10-block radius - perfect for builders, explorers, and peace-loving players alike. The effect lasts for a solid duration, giving you plenty of time to work on your projects without interruption.
You can also throw the potion at the ground to create a temporary aura that keeps mobs away from a specific area. This is great for protecting a doorway or a workbench while you are busy with something else.
Requirements and Installation
Before you download Repellent Potions, you need to have the Architectury API installed. This is a required dependency that makes the mod work smoothly across both Fabric and Forge. Make sure you grab the correct version of the API for your Minecraft version and loader.
To install, simply place the mod file into your mods folder. If you are using a launcher that supports modpacks, you can also add it through the mod management interface. The process is quick and painless, and you will be brewing your first repellent in no time.
For those who prefer a more streamlined experience, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Repellent Potions, letting you skip the manual file placement and get straight into the game. Its add-on catalog also keeps track of updates, so you always have the latest version without checking forums manually. If you are juggling multiple mods, the launcher’s version compatibility check ensures Repellent Potions works with your existing setup before you even start the game.
Tips for Peaceful Play
Pair the potions with a good sword for emergencies, but you will find that you rarely need it. The 10-block radius is generous enough to keep most threats at bay, but remember that the effect only works while the potion is active. Keep a few extra brews in your inventory for long expeditions.
If you are building a base in a dangerous biome, consider placing a few splash potions around the perimeter. This creates a buffer zone that keeps mobs from wandering too close. It is a clever way to protect your hard work without ugly walls or excessive lighting.
Final Thoughts
Repellent Potions for Minecraft is a must-have for anyone who values their sanity. The brewing system is intuitive, the effects are powerful, and the variety of mobs covered means you can tailor your defense to whatever threatens you most. Whether you are a builder, explorer, or just tired of being jumped by Creepers, this add-on delivers exactly what it promises.
Brew wisely. Repel responsibly. And enjoy a Minecraft world where you decide who gets close.
