Branik Mod
by Honziggi
Branik Mod adds Czech beer to Minecraft, with small and large bottles, hops as an ingredient and effects from drinking each brew.
What it does
Players brew beer from hops and other ingredients, and each recipe produces a bottle with its own taste and flavour. Small bottles can be used as decoration or compressed through 3x3 crafting recipes into bales, much like vanilla hay. Large bottles follow the shape of real-world six-packs and cases.
Drinking the beer applies a range of effects, and some small bottles give benefits for mining or for exploring the Nether. The mod began as a joke about putting beer into Minecraft, and its sole purpose is brewing and drinking beer. Its code is open source under the MIT License.
Installation needs Kotlin for Forge, and the mod is built for Forge 1.20.1 only. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so installing it on one side is enough. The author recommends Kotlin for Forge 4.11.0 and advises checking the Forge version when pairing the two.
Key features
Czech beer brewing
Hops are needed to give each beer its unique flavour, and the brewing process follows real beer production.
Small bottles with effects
Small bottles supply decoration and compression recipes, and some of them grant benefits while mining or exploring the Nether.
Large bottle packs
Large bottles are modeled on real-world six-packs and cases, giving drinks a more realistic presentation.
Varied drink effects
Different beers apply different effects when consumed, so the choice of brew changes how the player plays.
