Infused Ring: Permanent Potion Effects in a Ring
Infused Ring: Permanent Potion Effects in a Ring is a compact utility mod that eliminates the constant hassle of brewing, drinking, and re-applying potions. Instead of juggling dozens of splash potions and tracking timers, you can now capture active buffs and transfer them into a single wearable item. The result is a persistent set of effects that stays active as long as the ring is equipped.
Core Mechanics and Items
The mod introduces three distinct items, each with a specific role in the buff-transfer process. The system is straightforward and works seamlessly with your existing gameplay loop.
Magical Stone
The Magical Stone is the primary storage device. When you right-click with it, the stone absorbs all active potion effects currently applied to your character. Effects on a blacklist, configured via the mod's config file or through cross-mod communication, are excluded from this process. The stone holds two charges, allowing you to store two separate sets of buffs before it needs to be recharged or replaced. This feature is useful for preparing multiple loadouts for different situations, such as a mining set and a combat set.
Infusing Ring and Infused Ring
The Infusing Ring is an empty base item with no inherent bonuses. To create the final artifact, you combine the Infusing Ring with a charged Magical Stone on an anvil. The resulting Infused Ring permanently carries the effects that were stored in the stone. By default, a single ring can hold only one effect, but this limit is configurable and can be raised to support multi-buff artifacts.
Configuration and Balance Options
The mod is designed to be highly adaptable. All balance-related parameters are exposed in the configuration file, giving server admins and single-player users full control over the mod's power level.
- Maximum effects per ring: The default is 1, but you can increase this to create powerful multi-effect rings.
- Maximum effect level: Capped at level 4 by default to prevent overpowered combinations.
- Experience cost: Crafting the ring requires 38 levels of experience by default, but this value can be adjusted up or down.
- Effect blacklist: Add specific effect IDs, such as "minecraft:absorption" or "minecraft:health_boost", to prevent them from being stored.
- Category blacklist: Exclude entire categories of effects, like HARMFUL effects, to prevent accidental storage of poison or weakness.
This level of customization makes the mod suitable for vanilla-style survival, hardcore RPG packs, and everything in between.
Supported Versions and Loaders
For Minecraft versions 1.16.5 and newer, the mod requires the Curios API to function properly. The ring is worn in a dedicated accessory slot provided by Curios, rather than taking up inventory space. On older versions, the ring may have been equipped in a standard inventory slot, but the developer focuses on modern implementations. To get started, you need to download Infused Ring: Permanent Potion Effects in a Ring and place the JAR file into your mods folder. The mod is compatible with both Forge and NeoForge loaders, depending on the Minecraft version you are running.
Cross-Mod Integration
Starting with version 1.0.5, the mod supports Inter-Mod Communication (IMC) for dynamically adding effects to the blacklist. If your mod introduces custom effects that should not be stored in the Magical Stone, you can send a simple message using the following code:
InterModComms.sendTo("infusedring", "blacklist", effectIds);
Here, effectIds is a supplier of a collection of string identifiers for the effects. This approach prevents conflicts and allows other mod authors to decide which mechanics should not be copied into the ring. Combined with the config file, this makes Infused Ring one of the most integration-friendly effect mods available.
Installation Guide
If you are unsure how to install, the process is standard for most mods. First, ensure you have the correct version of Curios API installed for your Minecraft version. Then, download Infused Ring: Permanent Potion Effects in a Ring from a trusted source. Place the downloaded JAR file into the mods folder in your Minecraft directory. Launch the game and verify that the mod appears in the mod list. For modpack authors, testing compatibility is straightforward, as the mod does not conflict with other accessory systems that properly integrate with Curios.
Final Verdict
Infused Ring: Permanent Potion Effects in a Ring for Minecraft solves a specific problem: it removes the micromanagement of potions and grants permanent buffs at the cost of experience and resources. This is not a cheat mod; it is a quality-of-life tool for players who value convenience and customization. The ability to preserve a rare effect, such as glowing or beacon speed, and carry it permanently opens up new tactical possibilities. The well-designed blacklist system prevents balance-breaking combinations. If you want to make potion brewing more practical and reduce interface distractions, this mod deserves a place in your modpack.
