KCD Alchemy

The vision

Kingdom Come — Deliverance has an absurdly detailed alchemy system. Players need a quick way to look up which ingredients combine into which potions, where to find them, and how to brew them — without wading through wikis stuffed with ads.

KCD Alchemy is the tool I wanted: open the page, search a potion or ingredient, get the answer, close the tab.

What I built

• Next.js with full static export — every page pre-rendered, no runtime API
• Client-side filtering and search — zero round trips after the initial load
• Recipe data structured as typed JSON, validated at build, and rendered into clean recipe cards
• Ingredient locations with map references for the in-game cartographers among us
• Mobile-first layout because most lookups happen one-handed while playing

Outcome

Live at alchemy.kcd.tools and used by the KCD community. Small in scope, useful in practice, and a reminder that not every project needs a backend.
