Better Fox Trot Brew
by kingsama
Better Fox Trot Brew is a Forge fork of the Fox Trot Brew automation for Touhou Little Maid that lets a maid press fruit tubs for the player.
What it does
A maid assigned the fruit-tub task collects full tubs, including those still holding fruit, and refills empty ones from supplies in her backpack or either hand. Empty buckets can be found in the hands or the backpack, and finished juice is stored in the backpack first. The task rotates between tubs, skips exhausted or unreachable ones through timeouts, and stays selected while idle.
The mod needs Kaleidoscope Tavern and Touhou Little Maid, and it is published for Forge on 1.20.1 only. Players who want to run both the original and this fork should remove the original Fox Trot Brew first, because the two share Java class names. Client and server both need the mod, and the code is open source under the MIT License, with a public source repository and issue tracker.

Bucket and backpack handling

How it compares
Cooking juice is a Forge 1.20.1 mod under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and it is not open source. Spice of Life: Maid is open source under the BSD 3-Clause License, runs on Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and needs both sides. More Fruits 2 is for Forge 1.20.1 only and is not open source. Players can install it on one side alone, and neither side needs it.
