Whenever you use a consumable, be it a potion, a decoction or a bomb, an effect will appear on your buff bar. This effect lasts for 15 minutes and once it is completed, you will get back 1 stack of every consumable you have unlocked. If some of your consumables are still not at full capacity the effect will start again.
Basically, every 15 minutes you get your consumables back but only one at a time. So if you happen to use four of the same bomb in an encounter, you will have to wait an hour for them to come back.
Your consumables are now almost infinite and free, but if you empty a stack at once you will have to wait for a really long time. As the 15 minutes effect gives you only one item of each type, this encourages you to vary your use of consumables during your encounters in order to maximise the effect.
In vanilla, potions are almost free considering the tiny brewing cost there is. With this mod you no longer have the extra step to get them back. You are still free to medidate to refill them as this feature was not removed.
This mod modConsumablesOnCooldown is compatible with any other mod you can find. It is entirely independant of all the vanilla logic and cannot break anything in the game.
