Lava Java
by TigerOfTroy
With Lava Java installed, players can visit a Nether café run by skeleton baristas and trade gold nuggets for drinks with different flavors.
What it does
A café-style structure is added to the Nether by Lava Java. Within it, friendly baristas sell snacks and drinks, and the price of a drink is paid in gold nuggets. Each drink's flavor gives a buff based on its freshness, and trading with a particular barista makes that barista more skilled, so they sell more drinks and can brew more complex blends over time.
The flavors are defined by datapacks rather than fixed in the mod. Each flavor is a JSON file under data/lavajava/lava_java_flavor, with an ID, the status effect it provides, a magnitude and a duration in ticks, and an optional cost change that raises or lowers what the drink sells for. Because the file name must be unique, two flavors cannot share one and conflict with each other.
Lava Java is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.19 – 1.20.4, with files published for 8 release versions. It is open source under the MIT License, and it needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API. The server and every player need the mod installed.
