Brewing UI
by ha4zyk
Brewing UI puts a panel beside the brewing stand that shows fuel, brewing progress and potion results before a brew finishes.
What it does
A side panel opens next to the brewing stand and displays the remaining fuel, including how many blaze powder uses are left. Beside it, a timer tracks brewing progress so the player can see how long the current batch needs.
The panel also previews the potion a brew will produce and lists suggested ingredients for the next step. Clicking an ingredient shows the result it would give, which helps players plan paths toward useful effects and avoid dead ends that only yield mundane potions.
The mod is client-side only, so the server does not need it and players join without installing anything. It is published for Forge, with six game versions and the 1.0.0 file for 1.20.6 as the latest release. Brewing UI is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Use cases
Planning long brewing chains
Players working toward a specific buff or debuff can check each reagent in the panel before committing ingredients.
Avoiding dead-end brews
The previews show which combinations only yield mundane potions, so a player can change course early.
Who it’s for: Players who brew often in survival or single-player worlds and want the brewing stand to show more information during a brew. The mod only changes the client side.
How it compares
Better Recipe Book is a client-side mod that works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.17.1 – 1.21.1 and is open source under the MIT License. Brewing UI is Forge only and focuses on the brewing stand itself, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under All rights reserved. Fuel Goes Here is a client and server mod for Forge and NeoForge across 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, so it must be installed on both sides, unlike Brewing UI.
