BrewingStandSmoke

Holding the button on a brewing stand starts smoke that persists while the button is held and fades a few ticks after release. The effect applied to the smoke depends on what is placed inside the stand. With particle tinting enabled, the smoke takes on the color of the effect. Players who run the mod too watch the smoke move, and it tracks each character's eye position and facing direction as they change.

Both sides of a server are covered by the mod, but in different ways. On a Spigot or Paper server a separate plugin named BrewingStandSmoke is used instead of the mod itself, and the mod is required on the server side in that setup. Players without the mod play normally and simply do not see the effect, while players with the mod see the smoke of others. Both settings persist across server restarts. Configuration is reachable through Mod Menu, and the mod can be turned off entirely, with toggles for sounds, particles above the stand, and white particles.

BrewingStandSmoke requires Cloth Config API and Mod Menu, as well as Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric only, across 16 release versions, 1.21 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and the project is open source with public source code and an issue tracker.
