Survival-friendly datapack for Minecraft that adds an craftable Potion of Caffeination that you can drink to receive Haste VIII. The potion allows you to instant-mine blocks you normally couldn't (namely cobblestone and logs) with Diamond Efficiency V tools, notably allowing instant-mining Deepslate with a Netherite Efficiency V pickaxe.
After the potion runs out, you will suffer from 8 minutes of Mining Fatigue II, as you have overexerted yourself.
Drinking another potion will return you to a state of Haste, but you'll need to keep drinking them to stave off the eventual Mining Fatigue affliction.

Players will receive a message in the chat upon unlocking the recipe (obtaining a bottle of honey) informing them of its existence.
Datapacks do not yet support custom brewing recipes, so the potions are made in a crafting table.
You can craft a Potion of Caffeination with a
- Survival friendly
- Custom crafting recipe provides a method of obtaining potions in a survival playthrough
- Crafter (block) compatible
- Works on Fabric/Paper/etc. servers
- Advancement/Recipe Book integration

- Addiction tracking
- Optional scoreboard for how many potions each player has consumed
/function hastepotion:give_potion- Gives yourself the potion's crafting ingredients for testing.
/function hastepotion:reinstall- Convenience command. Reinstalls the pack from scratch and reloads all datapacks. Has the potential to fix bugs you encounter with the datapack.
/function hastepotion:uninstall- Run this before uninstalling the pack - cleans up all scoreboard values and such. Does not delete, nor affect the functionality of, existing potions.
/function hastepotion:advancement_trigger- Display the informational message players see when they unlock the recipe.
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar hp_potions_drank- Display the potion drinking stats scoreboard in the sidebar
/scoreboard players set hp_player_interval hp_options <value>- Set the update interval to a number of ticks. Default is 20. You shouldn't have to change this.
- The potion is not made in a Brewing Stand because datapacks can not currently add brewing stand recipes.
- I tried to document exactly how everything works via comments in the function files.

- In order to achieve the '8 minutes of haste, then 8 minutes of mining fatigue' effect,
the potion gives you all of its listed effects at once.
- The Haste given for the initial 8 minutes counteracts the 16 minutes of Mining Fatigue
- Mining Fatigue is actually markedly more potent than Haste, so the player actually needs to be given Haste 94 (amp 93) to reach Haste 4 levels of potency, or Haste 138 (amp 137) to reach Haste 8 levels of potency, while afflicted with Mining Fatigue 2.
- Bad Luck amp 42 is also given to the player, which a background loop detects on 1 second intervals to trigger some fun sounds and particle effects. You can edit the scoreboard to slow this down or speed it up.
- Custom NBT data and NBT-hiding flags are used to hide the potion's true effects and replace them with the descriptive tooltip.
- Before Pack Format 34 allowed for custom recipes with custom data on the output items, I based my custom crafting system off of the one that SethBling uses in his Water Mill datapack.
- I used an online tellraw generator to produce tellraw commands - those are a pain.
- Multiple stackoverflow, reddit, and minecraft forums posts explaining command behavior and nitpicky syntax were read in the process of squashing bugs.
- Nothing for right now. Contact me on Discord (Robb#6731) if you have ideas!
- If they add brewing stand support to datapacks, I might rewrite this to use that instead.
