What it does

Better Bitter extends the food and potion side of the game. It adds new items, ingredients, foods, potions and creatures, and changes how alchemy, brewing and cooking work, so the recipes in the mod sit alongside vanilla ones rather than replacing them. The mod targets Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.1 only, and the latest Fabric file is 0.1.1+1.21.1, published on 2024-09-04.

Two libraries are required: Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and both must be installed with the mod on Fabric. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is open source, with public links to the source code, issue tracker and wiki. The first file was published on 2024-08-27.

The wiki is the place for full item lists and recipe details, since the description on this page covers only the main areas the mod touches.

Key features

  1. Revamped brewing

  2. New potions and beverages

    The mod adds a range of potions and drinkable beverages, each with its own brewing route.

  3. New foods and ingredients

    Foods and ingredients join the cooking system, widening the choices available to a kitchen or a cooking station.

  4. New creatures

    Creatures are added alongside the item and food content, tied to the food theme of the mod.
