Obtaining
Refinement
Refining a potato in a potato refinery with a glass bottle in the bottle slot outputs 1 potato oil. This takes 125 game ticks (6.25 seconds) and grants 0.1XP.
Usage
To drink potato oil, press and hold use while it is selected in the hotbar. Drinking it gives the player the "It's very slippery" effect for 1 tick and returns an empty bottle.
Lubrication
Potato oil can be used to lubricate any item using a potato refinery by placing the potato oil into the first item slot and the item to lubricate into the second item slot.
Lubricated items
When an item is lubricated using potato oil, it gains the lubrication component with a level of 1. This causes the item to slide around when dropped, as though it was on ice.
