Ichor in Mielon's The Sift

Ichor grants Regeneration I on contact and slows movement slightly; bottles give the effect for three seconds. Collect it with buckets or bottles, store it in cauldrons, and use the author's Pointed Dripstone collection method rather than expecting infinite sources.

Use Ichor for regeneration

In Mielon’s mod, contact with Ichor grants Regeneration I and slightly slows movement. A filled Ichor Bottle grants Regeneration I for three seconds. Buckets and glass bottles collect the liquid; cauldrons provide storage.

Choose a collection method

Form or interaction Author-described behavior Useful distinction
Contact with liquid Regeneration I; slight movement slowdown Healing and movement are linked
Ichor Bottle Regeneration I for three seconds A short portable effect
Bucket Collects the liquid Transport for liquid placement
Cauldron Holds poured Ichor Storage at your chosen location
Pointed Dripstone Slowly fills cauldrons with Ichor Collection distinct from an infinite source

Choose the bottle for a portable dose and the bucket for the liquid itself. Our suggested first collection is a small amount so you can confirm the container and intended use before transporting a larger stock.

Store it without assuming infinite sources

The author explicitly says Ichor does not create infinite sources. An arrangement that works for ordinary water therefore should not be treated as a refill plan here.

The documented alternative is cauldron storage and gradual filling through Pointed Dripstone. The description does not establish an exact filling rate or detailed construction geometry. Keep the setup’s collected output separate from the amount you intend to spend on a build or trip.

Ichor also has Snow, Snow Block, and Snowball forms. These belong to the wider material family; they are not interchangeable with the bottled effect.

Build with the shard branch

Version 1.1.0 adds a separate material route:

Sift Rubble → possible Ichor Shard drop → Ichor Glass → Ichor Glass Panes.

Follow this branch for glass. Filling bottles is a liquid-collection task, not the documented route to building glass. Make a small sample palette before gathering for a large window or decorative wall.

Ichor questions

Is bottled regeneration permanent? The author’s stated duration is three seconds.

Can I use it as an infinite water substitute? No. Plan around collected supply or the documented cauldron-filling behavior.

Continue with the first-trip guide, blocks and items, or the project hub.
