To reset your specialization in RLCraft, craft a Potion of Specialization Oblivion using an awkward potion, one fermented spider eye, and one chorus fruit, then drink it. This wipe clears your active tree, returns every spent experience level directly to your bar, and lets you choose a new branch immediately.
Specialization trees come from the Level Up! Reloaded mod bundled inside Shivaxi’s modpack. If you want a fresh build, drink this potion; if you only need better basic equipment stats, farm regular player levels to raise your Y skill attributes instead. The potion only resets your Combat, Mining, or Crafting path, so don’t confuse it with the Potion of Transcendence, which clears basic stats.
This reset isn’t for players who only unlocked rank one, because brewing items are hard to find early in the game. You gain the freedom to swap build styles instantly, but the trade-off is losing any passive perks until you spend your returned levels again. Keep in mind that default recipes can vary slightly across custom pack versions, so check your in-game Just Enough Items panel before gathering materials.
Brewing the Reset Potion
- Gather one brewing stand, three water bottles, one Nether wart, one fermented spider eye, and one chorus fruit. If you don’t have End access yet, buy chorus fruit from a master-level cleric villager or locate it inside battletower chests.
- Open the brewing stand interface and place one blaze powder into the top-left slot to fuel the stand.
- Place three water bottles in the bottom slots and drop one Nether wart into the top ingredient slot to brew three awkward potions.
- Add one fermented spider eye to the top slot while leaving the awkward potions in the bottom, which takes 20 seconds. Tip: Fermented spider eyes brew into Weakness potions in vanilla Minecraft, but in RLCraft, awkward potions convert correctly when you add the chorus fruit next.
- Place one chorus fruit into the top slot to finish the Potion of Specialization Oblivion.
- Hold the potion in your main hand and hold down the right-click button until your character finishes drinking it. Tip: Stand in a secure bunker before drinking so rogue mobs can’t kill you while your defense bonuses reset.
How Long It Takes
Brewing takes under two minutes once you have gathered the ingredients, though finding End resources adds travel time.
| Situation | How long | What changes it | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| End materials ready | 1 to 2 minutes | Furnace fuel and brewing ticks | Brewing stand fuel running out |
| Sourcing chorus via trading | 10 to 25 minutes | Finding a cleric and emerald trades | Hostile mob spawns in villages |
| Hunting battletower loot | 30 to 60 minutes | Tower generation and floor spawners | Blight mobs destroying your armor |
If the brewing process takes longer than these windows, check if your brewing stand ran out of blaze powder or if the top slot contains an incorrect item.
How to Tell When It’s Done
Open your character inventory and press the default hotkey L to bring up the Level Up! Reloaded menu. If the wipe succeeded, the screen will prompt you to choose between Combat, Mining, or Crafting, exactly as it did when your character first reached level 5. Your green vanilla experience bar will show a large number, matching the exact amount of experience you previously spent inside that specific specialization tree. The test that settles it’s looking at the specialization icon on your screen; if no passive icon appears, your old branch is completely gone.
Mistakes That Ruin It
- Drinking the wrong oblivion brew. Drinking a Potion of Transcendence wipes your primary skill attributes instead of your specialization tree. Check the tooltips carefully in the official CurseForge RLCraft project files to make sure you crafted the Oblivion version.
- Carrying high levels into combat. Players often drink the brew, regain 30 or more experience levels, and wander outside before spending them. One hit from a mob like a Gorgon or a sea serpent will kill you instantly and delete those unbound levels permanently.
- Brewing without blaze fuel. A brewing stand will freeze completely if the yellow powder gauge runs out mid-cycle. Keep two extra blaze powders in your inventory so the process never stalls halfway through.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Change Your Specialization More Than Once?
Yes, you can reset your specialization as many times as you want. Each reset requires drinking a fresh Potion of Specialization Oblivion. As long as you have the brewing ingredients and a secure room, there’s no limit to how often you can wipe and reassign your specialization perks.
Do You Lose Skill Points When Resetting Specializations?
No, you don’t lose any skill points or experience levels. Drinking the potion refunds every single level you spent on passive specialization perks directly back onto your experience bar. You can allocate those levels immediately to your new tree without having to grind extra monsters or minerals.
Why Won’t My Brewing Stand Accept Chorus Fruit?
Your brewing stand will reject chorus fruit if the bottom bottles are plain water or mundane potions. The brew requires an awkward potion base that has already been altered by a fermented spider eye. Double-check your recipe order using the in-game Just Enough Items search bar.
Is It Safe to Reset During Hardcore Mode?
Yes, it’s mechanically safe, but you must drink the potion inside a locked, fully lit room. When you reset, you temporarily lose your passive damage reduction and evasion perks until you reassign your points. Getting ambushed during that vulnerable window can end a hardcore run instantly.
What Happens If You Die with Unspent Refunded Levels?
You’ll lose those experience levels just like any regular player death. If your world settings don’t protect dropped items, standard Minecraft death mechanics apply, dropping only a fraction of those levels on the floor. Always reallocate your specialization points immediately after drinking the potion.
Take your returned experience and head straight to a safe shelter before you spend it again. It’s smart to test your new perks on weaker monsters near home first. Once you’re comfortable with the fresh build, you’ll feel much safer diving into the next dangerous dungeon.
