  • Water bucket adds 8 water levels
  • Water bottle or any potion will add 4 water levels
• At least 1 Cinnabar Dust present in the Alembic
  • Alembic can hold a maximum of 64 cinnabar
• Requires the user to hold a Glass bottle to obtain the Mercury Bottle
• Will constantly produce more mercury if there is water and cinnabar present in the Alembic and if the chunk containing the Alembic is loaded
• Will display smoke particles and use a different texture when distilling
