Brewery: Drunk Messages
by cloverskid
Brewery: Drunk Messages changes how chat lines read when a player has been drinking, so the more alcohol a player has in them, the drunker their messages sound.
What it does
The mod distorts chat messages in step with each player's alcohol level, which comes from Patbox's Brewery. A player who has had little to drink sends mostly normal text, while a heavier drinker's lines are scrambled further. It is built for multiplayer servers, where the effect shows up for everyone reading the chat.
Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing it, while the client-side install named by the author still applies to the client side. Patbox's Brewery is required, and the mod is published for Fabric only, with a single build for 1.21.11. The code is open source under the MIT License, and public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker. Updates are driven mainly by server needs, and the author has planned backports to older versions and ports to other Minecraft versions.
Key features
Alcohol-based distortion
Chat messages are altered according to the sender's current alcohol level, so a drunker player's text reads more garbled.
Multiplayer chat effect
The distortion applies to the chat that other players read, which makes the effect visible on a shared server.
Dependency on Brewery
The alcohol level the effect depends on is read from Patbox's Brewery, so that mod supplies the drinking system.
Planned backports
The author has said older versions are planned, and anyone may port the mod to other Minecraft versions.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who already run Patbox's Brewery and want chat to reflect how much a player has drunk. Players on such a server need only the server-side install named above, since the mod does not change the game for them.
How it compares
Simple Death Messages is also server-side only under the MIT License, but it is not open source and is published for 1.21.11 with Fabric only, so it changes death messages rather than chat. FabrChatDisabling is client-side only, under the MIT License, not open source, and published for 1.21.11 on Fabric, so it works on the player side instead. Better Welcome Messages is server required with client optional, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.21.2 – 1.21.5, a range that does not include 1.21.11.
