Alchema integrates the world of brewery, witchcraft and magic with Minecraft without being intrusive on the vanilla feel of the game.
It allows players to craft items using a cauldron filled with water that's been lit with some heat source and a select handful of ingredients.
Bubbling Cauldron

Under the following conditions, a cauldron will begin to bubble:
- A source of heat is ignited below the cauldron.
- Water is present in the cauldron and filled to its maximum.
- A little bit of patience. The cauldron takes (by default) 5 seconds to start bubbling
Cauldron Crafting
Dropping an item inside of a boiling cauldron will consume it and will become an ingredient in the cauldron. Throw in enough items of the right type and the cauldron will begin to craft automatically without any input from the player.
Accidentally drop something into the cauldron that you didn't want to lose? Have extra ingredients that you can't get back? The cauldron remembers the exact item you dropped into it (even across server restart) and you can retrieve any remaining ingredients by either collecting the water from the cauldron, removing the source of heat, or destroying the cauldron in the world (though be careful with the heat source underneath).
