Reagent

Reagents are created by mixing various types of dust such as glowstone dust, or diamond dust with a liquid base of Orchid Nectar in a Crafting Bench. They are used to create special potions in an Alchemist's Worktable that go beyond the capabilities of a normal potion from a Brewing Stand.

Prolonging Reagent increases the duration of potion by half for potions that have a duration of less than 8 minutes and by 10% for potions that have a duration of more than 8 minutes.

Amplifying Reagent concentrates a potion, increasing the potency of the potion but halving its duration.

Bursting Reagent makes a drinkable potion into a splash potion, much like gunpowder.

Binding Reagent allows the creation of multi-effect potions by combining the effects of all the potions currently in the table.

Weirding Reagent cannot be used in an Alchemist's Worktable but can instead be applied to a plant to change it's nature. Applying Weirding Reagent to a crop will transform it into a different crop, applying it to a flower will transform it to a different flower, etc. The effects are mostly random.
