Distillery Operations: Extracting Fumes & Essences

guide

Distillery apparatus in Enchanted Witchcraft refines volatile vapours, foul fumes, and botanical essences into concentrated reagents for advanced ritual magic. Operating a distillery allows practitioners to synthesize specialized solvents, purified dew, and occult minerals that cannot be harvested through ordinary mining or surface exploration.

Fabricating Jars and Distillery Machinery

Establishing a functional distillation setup begins with firing clay jars and assembling the central refining unit:

Crafting and Smelting Jars: Combining four Clay Ball items in a crafting grid yields four Soft Clay Jar pieces. Smelting one Soft Clay Jar inside a furnace bakes it into one durable Clay Jar suitable for capturing volatile fumes.
Synthesizing Attuned Stone: Combining one Whiff of Magic, one Diamond, and one Lava Bucket in a crafting grid creates one Attuned Stone.
Assembling the Distillery: The Distillery requires two Clay Jar, four Iron Ingot, two Gold Nugget, and one Attuned Stone. Arrange two clay jars flanking an iron ingot on the top row, three iron ingots across the middle row, and two gold nuggets flanking the attuned stone on the bottom row to craft one distillery.
Filtration Additions:
- Combining six Glass, two Iron Ingot, and one Attuned Stone crafts one Fume Filter.
- Combining four Bucket, one Lava Bucket, one Glowstone, two Block of Iron, and one Iron Bars crafts one Fume Funnel to attach to processing ovens.

Harvesting Botanical Byproduct Fumes

When botanical materials burn inside an oven equipped with empty clay jars, they release aromatic byproducts:

Burning one Birch Sapling produces one Breath of the Goddess.
Burning one Spruce Sapling yields one Hint of Rebirth.
Burning one Oak Sapling captures one Horned One's Exhale.
Burning one Hawthorn Sapling yields one Odour of Purity.
Burning one Alder Sapling releases one Reek of Misfortune.
Burning one Rowan Sapling captures one Whiff of Magic.
Incinerating jungle saplings, alder logs, or raw foods captures one Foul Fume.

These harvested gaseous jars form the primary inputs for subsequent multi-stage distillations.

Advanced Distillation Recipes

Loading captured fumes and catalytic minerals into the distillery refines them into potent alchemical reagents:

Purifying Ender Dew: Distilling one Clay Jar and one Ender Pearl produces five Ender Dew, providing a concentrated fluid for dimensional magic.
Vaporizing Diamonds: Distilling one Clay Jar, one Diamond, and one Oil of Vitriol yields two Diamond Vapour.
Precipitating Gypsum: Combining one Clay Jar, one Foul Fume, and one Quicklime in the distillery synthesizes one Gypsum mineral.
Purifying Odours: Distilling one Clay Jar, one Diamond Vapour, and one Ghast Tear extracts one Odour of Purity.
Goddess Tears: Distilling one Clay Jar, one Breath of the Goddess, and one Lapis Lazuli creates one Tear of the Goddess.
Demonic Extraction: Distilling one Clay Jar, one Diamond Vapour, and one Blaze Rod refines one Demonic Blood.
Synthesizing Glowstone: Distilling one Blaze Powder and one Gunpowder yields two Glowstone Dust.

Mineral Smelting Precursors

Key solid reagents require initial furnace calcination:

Smelting one Calcite block inside a furnace burns off carbonates to produce one Quicklime.
Smelting one Rowan Sapling in a furnace produces one Wood Ash, an essential base for ritual chalk compounding.
