Are you sure those swords won't give you radiation poisoning?

Drinking Destabelized Redstone from Thermal Dynamics with a Straw from MFR adds a level to each buff/debuff u have and doubles the time.

Example: drinking a potion of strength gives the player Strength I for 2 minutes. After drinking Redstone its increase to Strength II with a duration of 4 minutes.

This method can increase any buff/debuff up to lvl 4 with a max duration of 8 minutes

Can stack with items y/n?

So I have a runic dungeons strength amulet permanently giving me strength 1.

If I slurp some redstone this will up my buff?

Actually this has been a thing since 1.6 XD, im suprised not many ppl know about this :)

Also u can keep drinking it indefinitly, to double the time each time.

As for the amulets, i dont know tbh, dont those give the effects without a time duration?

Generally the duration is just a couple seconds, but gets refreshed every so often.
Realistically, the amulet probably either overwrites the doubling immediately, or just reverts to the original level after 8 seconds (or however many) passed.

It also depends on how the effect is coded. Some machines and items don't refresh the effect if you already have the same effect at a higher level. You can also just remove the item, then drink the redstone before the effect expires (assuming the item doesn't immediately erase the effect when unequipped).

Found out quasirecently that if you use Witchery to curse a high HP mob into taking damage for you until it dies or your cursing poppet breaks and keep the high HP mob in a pit filled with healing liquids you can extend your life significantly.
Isn't that considered black magic tho...? IIRC the consequences aren't too deadly, just witch hunters.

Not something that is new to me, but apparently not many people seem to know that you don't have to right-click items onto Botania's Runic Altar - you can also drop them. Which is more convenient when you drop them straight out of your inventory, without needing to occupy the hotbar.

I found out about the right-click option later, which was nice because dropping items can sometimes be annoying when you have vacuum blocks nearby (ahem hopperhocks)
