The Herb Jar is a storage block added by Hexerei. It holds one item type at a time, up to 1024 items, and is the main container for herbs in the mod's alchemy system. Each jar has a front face, chosen when it is placed, that handles item insertion and removal. Herb Jars are also a destination for Crows harvesting crops, which makes them useful for an automated herb supply.

Obtaining

The Herb Jar is crafted in a heated Mixing Cauldron from sand and lava. See the recipe below.

Herb Jars also generate as loot in courier package chests inside Owl Post Office structures.

Breaking a Herb Jar drops the block with its contents intact. A jar stacks to 64 in the inventory. It can be placed in water because it is waterlogged. Its hardness is 1, and it can be broken by any tool.

Usage

The jar holds a single item type. Any stack of a different type is refused, and a full jar refuses further items. Its capacity is 1024 items.

Storing items

Right-clicking the front face while holding an item inserts the whole held stack, up to the jar's remaining capacity. A player who right-clicks the front face twice within 10 game ticks (half a second) inserts every matching item from their entire inventory. Items that do not match the jar's current contents are not moved.

By default, the jar accepts only herbs. This is controlled by the jars_only_hold_herbs config option, which is true by default. Herbs are the items in the hexerei:herbs item tag. The tag includes Hexerei's sage, dried sage and sage bundle, the belladonna, mandrake, mugwort and yellow dock plant parts, and several vanilla plants such as sweet berries, cactus, kelp, bamboo and wheat. If the option is set to false, the jar accepts any item.

Retrieving items

Punching the front face removes one item. Sneak-punching the front face removes the whole stack. Removed items go to the player's inventory. If the inventory is full, the items are dropped in front of the jar.

Right-clicking any side other than the front face opens the jar's storage screen. Sneak-right-clicking any side also opens it.

Crow deposits

A Crow set to harvest crops collects crop and herb items from its harvest area. It then deposits them into nearby Coffers and Herb Jars. When jars_only_hold_herbs is true, a Crow deposits only herbs into a jar.

Colour

The Herb Jar belongs to the minecraft:dyeable item tag. A jar placed from a dyed item keeps that colour. Undyed jars use a fixed default colour.

Tips

Use one jar for each herb type. A jar holds only one type, so a mixed herb supply needs several jars. Double right-clicking the front face is the fastest way to move a large herb harvest in, and sneak-punching empties a jar in one action.
