Hardmode Potions
Hardmode Potions is a tModLoader mod, available now on the mod browser, that makes potion buffs better as the player progresses through the game, aiming to increase consistency and balance of vanilla potions. Lots of vanilla potions are either OP for when they're obtained or useless during endgame content. This mod buffs the majority of potions after you beat the Wall of Flesh, Plantera or Moon Lord. Overall I want to improve the vanilla experience and make most potions usable throughout the game.
