Overview#
The Potion Rings Mod (also known as Potion Rings Reforged) is a modern port and expansion of the classic Potion Fingers mod. It focuses on providing players with a balanced way to obtain permanent potion effects through high-tier equipment rather than temporary consumables. By utilizing the Curios API (on Forge/NeoForge) or Trinkets (on Fabric), players can equip these rings in dedicated accessory slots to gain constant buffs such as increased speed, strength, or health regeneration.
Unlike standard potions, these rings have no durability and do not expire. They are designed as end-game or mid-game utility items that free up inventory space and simplify combat and exploration by automating essential status effects.
Items#
The mod adds a variety of rings, starting from a base "Empty" ring to specialized rings for almost every primary potion effect in the game.
Base Ring
- Potion Ring (Empty): The foundational item for all other rings. It provides no effects on its own but serves as the crafting base for enchanted variants.
Effect Rings
Each of the following rings provides a Level I potion effect when equipped:
- Potion Ring of Speed: Increases movement speed.
- Potion Ring of Haste: Increases mining and attack speed.
- Potion Ring of Strength: Increases melee damage.
- Potion Ring of Regeneration: Slowly restores health over time.
- Potion Ring of Resistance: Reduces incoming damage.
- Potion Ring of Fire Resistance: Grants immunity to fire and lava damage.
- Potion Ring of Water Breathing: Allows breathing underwater indefinitely.
- Potion Ring of Invisibility: Makes the player invisible to mobs and players.
- Potion Ring of Night Vision: Grants full vision in dark areas.
- Potion Ring of Jump Boost: Increases jump height.
- Potion Ring of Absorption: Provides a recurring shield of yellow absorption hearts.
Crafting Recipes#
Crafting in Potion Rings Mod is straightforward but requires valuable materials, ensuring the permanent effects are earned through progression.
Base Ring Recipe
To begin, you must craft the Potion Ring (Empty) using Gold Ingots and a Lapis Lazuli Block.
| Result | Ingredients | Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Potion Ring (Empty) | 4x Gold Ingot, 1x Lapis Lazuli Block | Gold in corners, Lapis Block in center |
Effect Ring Recipes
Once you have an Empty Potion Ring, you can upgrade it by surrounding it with specific catalyst items in a crafting table.
| Result Ring | Catalyst Item (4x) | Base Item |
|---|---|---|

Mechanics#
The Potion Rings Mod operates on several unique mechanics that distinguish it from standard potion brewing.
Accessory Slots
These rings do not occupy standard inventory slots or armor slots. Instead, they require an accessory API to function:
- Fabric: Requires Trinkets. The rings are equipped in the ring slots provided by the Trinkets UI.
Effect Stacking and Level II
A core feature of the mod is the ability to upgrade effects to Level II without additional crafting.
- Level II Upgrade: If a player equips two identical rings (e.g., two Potion Rings of Strength), the resulting potion effect is automatically upgraded from Level I to Level II.
- Multi-Effect Stacking: Players can wear two different rings (e.g., one Speed and one Haste) to receive both Level I effects simultaneously.
Persistence
The effects provided by the rings are truly permanent. They do not have a timer and will not be removed by drinking milk while the rings are equipped. If a ring is removed from the accessory slot, the effect is instantly cleared from the player.
Configuration and Customization#
Starting with version 2.0 (compatible with 1.21.1), the mod includes advanced customization options for modpack creators and server administrators.
Custom Rings
Users can now create custom rings with effects from other mods using Data Packs. By defining a new JSON file in the mod's data folder, any potion effect (including those added by magic or combat mods) can be assigned to a custom ring.
Integration
The mod features built-in compatibility with:
- Bring Me The Rings: Allows for additional ring slots, enabling players to wear more than two rings at once.
- Size Shifting Potions: Supports rings that provide permanent size-changing effects.
- CraftTweaker: All ring recipes are independent and can be fully modified or disabled using CraftTweaker scripts.
