Caffeine
by Nhbybnb
Caffeine adds a set of energy drinks to Fabric survival worlds, each with its own temporary status effects, and the empty cans can be returned for reuse.
What it does
The drinks are made at a standard crafting table from vanilla materials, with Taurine and Empty Cans as the new crafting components. Every drink is stackable to 16, plays the usual drinking animation and sound, and leaves an empty can behind. Caffeine is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it installed.
Each drink targets a different play style. One boosts movement and mining speed, another focuses on mobility with jump and fall effects, another restores hunger while granting speed and strength, and others help underwater travel or combat. Some drinks carry small drawbacks, so the balance stays closer to a trade-off than a pure bonus. The items sit in their own Creative Mode tab and do not replace existing potions or food. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. No required dependency is listed for Fabric.
