#Better Brewing and Potions mod (and possibly alchemy!) mate

##New Object: Potion/Brew/Concoction/Something:

• method called to do the magic -> entity, level, and others as needed
• method called when the effect starts
• method called when the effect stops
• field with the maximum level of the potion

##The EffectHandler/SomeOtherName:

• class implementing IExtendedProperties
• Saves a list/map of active effects, very much like MC does it --> using IExtendedProperties
• Has a method with @SubscribeEvent, with the TickEvent to call the effect
• method to add the effect to an entity with a level and a duration (which is a fancy way to say that we're adding something to the entity's NBT and that the TickHandler is reacting accordingly

##The Actual Brewing of Potions:

• A map with items/blocks and their properties
• Mixing these different items/blocks gives a potion due to their properties
• Cauldrons can and will blow up
• Random discoveries are important, and some brews can have less potency than others due to the ingredients used
• Potions journal using Guide-API, recording the discoveries and the item/block effects

##Other things to do:

• Custom NEI Handler
