Hot Bean Juice
by SweetRPG
Hot Bean Juice adds coffee to Minecraft Forge 1.18.2, from wild coffee plants through roasting and grinding to brewing drinks in several machines.
What it does
Coffee is grown from wild plants and crops, then processed by baking beans and grinding them. The brewing step depends on which machine a player picks, such as a French press, a drip machine or a percolator, and the cup chosen afterwards sets which drink is made and how it is drunk. Players can also run the coffee processing through Create contraptions instead of working by hand.
The mod suits survival worlds where coffee becomes a food chain of its own, and multiplayer servers that want a shared brewing setup. It is published for Forge 1.18.2 only, with the latest file 0.0.37 dated 2025-01-01 on the alpha channel. Hot Bean Juice runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is open source under the MIT License.
Optional integrations are Configured, Just Enough Items (JEI) and Patchouli. Configured adds settings files, JEI lists the recipes, and Patchouli provides in-game guide content. The author's wiki and source code are linked from the project page, and the first release dates from 2024-02-03 with the last update on 2025-01-01.
Key features
Wild coffee plants
Coffee plants grow in the world as wild crops that players can harvest for beans.
Roasting and grinding
Beans are baked and then ground, producing the material each brewing machine needs.
Several brewing machines
French press, drip and percolator machines each brew coffee differently, so the choice of machine shapes the drink.
Cup variety
Several cup types can be filled and drunk, with different coffee varieties available for each.
Create processing
Coffee processing can be automated with Create contraptions in place of manual steps.

How it compares
Coffee+ is a Forge mod for 1.16.5 – 1.18.2 under the MIT License, but it is not open source and it is not offered for other loaders. MrFEG's Coffee Box runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.5, with an optional client or server side, and is published under a Creative Commons non-commercial, no-derivatives license. Small Utilities is a Forge mod for 1.18.2 under a custom license, so it covers a similar range of versions without being open source.
