Brewery Reimagined

Brewery Reimagined is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that brings a brewing system into the game. The design takes much of its approach from the Spigot plugins Brewery and BreweryX. Brewing times stay predictable even on servers with unstable TPS. Brewing pauses when the chunk is unloaded, which adds a layer of difficulty for players who leave a cauldron running.

The process runs in steps: fill a brewing cauldron with water, add ingredients, supply heat, then take the brew out with glass bottles once its time has passed. Some brews need a distillery station with the correct filter, and some need a fermentation barrel made from the correct wood type. A finished brew receives a purity value that depends on how precisely the ingredient amounts were chosen and how well the aging times were met. Most brews apply the Alcohol effect, which makes chat messages incoherent and affects other status effects. Drinking too much causes alcohol poisoning, which only honey cures, and sleeping after drinking gives a high chance of a hangover.

The mod normally ships with a set of recipes, and players can add their own. A tutorial is linked from the project. Brewery Reimagined is published for Forge and NeoForge, is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and needs Patchouli as an optional dependency.
