Brew of Shifting Seasons
The Brew of Shifting Seasons will change the biome in the targeted area to the biome specified by the Biome Note which is used to create the brew. The size of the affected area is directly modified by the effect Power, not Extent.
Any combination of Capacity ingredients which add up to 8 or more Capacity (see Capacity Modifiers section) will work to create a brew with this effect. The cheapest combinations (in terms of altar power) are as follows:
- Nether Wart + Tear of the Goddess + Nether Star (300 Altar Power)
- Nether Wart + Diamond + Nether Star (350 Altar Power)
- Nether Wart + Tear of the Goddess + Diamond Vapor + Diamond (450 Altar Power)
The combinations of Capacity ingredients which do not require the Distillery (and by extension Stainless Steel) are as follows:
- Nether Wart + Diamond + Nether Star (350 Altar Power)
- Nether Wart + Pentacle (1050 Altar Power, the Koboldite can be acquired via trading with Hobgoblins[2])
- Diamond + Pentacle (1150 Altar Power)
- Nether Star + Pentacle (1150 Altar Power)
Example Recipe (add these ingredients in order):
- Nether Wart (+2 Capacity, +50 Altar Power)
- Tear of the Goddess (+2 Capacity, +100 Altar Power)
- Diamond Vapor (+2 Capacity, +150 Altar Power)
- Diamond (+2 Capacity, +150 Altar Power)
- (Optional) Glowstone (+1 range, +50 Altar Power)
- (Optional) Blaze Rod (+1 range, +100 Altar Power)
- (Optional) Charged Attuned Stone (+1 range, +150 Altar Power)
- Biome Page (Chooses biome, +5000 Altar Power)
- Gunpowder (Splash effect, +0 Altar Power)
Then collect the brew with a glass bottle (right click on the cauldron).
If your altar has insufficient power, you will not be able to bottle it (the recipe above will require 5450 to 5750 Altar Power depending on how many of the optional range-increasing ingredients you use).
Biome Notes
To obtain a Biome Note, craft a Paper together with a Book of Biomes (Extended Edition). Either variant of the Book of Biomes can often be found in a specific Village building.
A comprehensive list of biomes with their page numbers is located at Biome#Biome_Tools.
- ↑ When applicable, the result of this ingredient will be specified alongside the effect.
- ↑ Hobgoblins will trade with players using the same mechanics as villager trading once they are provided sufficient housing (generally just a door and a roof). They will accept any "witchery:ingredient" item (e.g. Wood Ash) in place of Koboldite dust and nuggets.
