(1.9 compatible) Semi-Auto Potion Lab

Hello everyone, today I'd like to share a project with you :)

This is a semi-auto potion lab, it's not fully automatic as the droppers and hoppers that feed the brewing stand inside must be stocked manually, and there's nothing that sorts the potions into the correct chests as of right now. I do not currently know how to make a sorting system, but I once I do, I will update this post with the sorter system attached.

Because of the lack of a sorting system, I do not feel that this is 100% complete yet. Once I get that in, I will provide a world download.


So, how does this thing work?

As of snapshot 15w42a, Brewing Stands now require Blaze Powder to work, which I found can be fed into the left side of the brewing stand with hoppers. There is a button close to the brewing stand that once pressed, will send a redstone signal to a dropper, which will feed the hopper fueling the brewing stand.

Now that there's fuel in there, be aware that there's already water bottles on the brewing stand, waiting to be made into potions. Why? The right hopper feeds water bottles into the brewing stand, and these come from a double chest from outside.

To begin the brewing process, find the button with a Nether Wart item frame above it. Press that, and then it's redstone signal will trigger it's dropper, supplying the brewing stand from above.

Once you have made the awkward potions needed to brew other potions, the other buttons on that wall will request a certain ingredient in the brewing process; i.e. blaze powder, sugar, rabbit's foot, dragon's breath, etc. Request the ingredient you want, and once it has been brewed, press the button and repeat depending what desired potion you want.

Volia! You have now made potions at the press of just a couple of buttons.

Once this thing has a potion sorting system that is fed by the brewing stand, I'll update this with a world download for those who want to try it out <3



Thanks for checking this thing out!
If you really like it, then why not diamond? :P
