# Building the Alchemy Machine

> Step-by-step guide to building the alchemy machine schematic for automated potion brewing.

The alchemy machine is a structure you build on your Private Island that allows the Alchemy Macro to automatically brew potions.

## Materials

| Block                | Amount |
| -------------------- | ------ |
| Quartz Block         | 59     |
| Brewing Stand        | 11     |
| Hopper               | 44     |
| Chest                | 12     |
| Trapped Chest        | 10     |
| Magical Water Bucket | 1      |

## Step-by-Step Build Guide

### Step 1 — Build the Floor

Place a **3×11 quartz block floor**. This is 3 rows wide and 11 blocks long.

### Step 2 — Add Side Rails

Place a quartz block on **each side** (left and right long edges) to prevent the player from falling off the machine while using it.

</Frame>

### Step 3 — Place Hoppers Behind Brewing Stands

Place **temporary blocks** along the further long edge of the floor (where the brewing stands will go). Then place **11 hoppers** behind these temporary blocks, sneaking and clicking on the temp blocks so the hoppers connect to them (face toward the brewing stand row).

### Step 4 — Place Brewing Stands

Remove the temporary blocks and place **11 brewing stands** in their place, on top of the quartz floor. The hoppers from the previous step should now feed into the brewing stands.

</Frame>

### Step 5 — Place Chests

Place **double chests and trapped double chests** alternating next to each other on top of the hoppers — normal chest, then trapped chest, then normal chest, then trapped chest, and so on. Alternating between regular and trapped chests allows them to be placed side by side without merging.

</Frame>

### Step 6 — Place First Row of Hoppers

Place **1 row of 11 hoppers** directly on top of the chests. These hoppers face down into the chests.

</Frame>

### Step 7 — Place Circular Hopper Rows

Place **2 rows of hoppers** on top of the previous row in a **circular pattern**. This creates a loop so items flow in a circle, putting water bottles across all chests below.

</Frame>

### Step 8 — Build Walls

Build a **1-block-high quartz wall** around the top hopper area — front, back, and both sides.

</Frame>

### Step 9 — Fill with Water

Use the **Magical Water Bucket** to fill the enclosed area with water. This is where you'll stand when using the Bottle Filler macro to fill water bottles.

## Structure Overview

From bottom to top, the machine consists of:

| Layer | Contents                                                             |
| ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1     | 3×11 quartz blocks                                                   |
| 2     | 11 brewing stands + 11 hoppers feeding into them                     |
| 3     | Alternating chests and trapped chests (2 rows of 11)                 |
| 4     | 11 hoppers feeding down into chests                                  |
| 5     | 2 rows of circular hoppers (items loop to distribute evenly)         |
| 6     | Quartz walls + water pool (player stands here and fills the bottles) |
