Overbrew
by Smidul
Overbrew is a brewing expansion for 26.3 that adds potion variants, longer and stronger tiers, and two custom Brewing Stand fuels, with a data pack option.
What it does
The mod fills in potion variants that vanilla never brews, extending the Regular, Extended, Prolonged, Strong and Potent families. Redstone Blocks and Glowstone Blocks serve as the upgrade ingredients for the duration and amplifier tiers, and the tiers can be combined in any order. Brewing a potion with Fermented Spider Eye converts the opposing effect while keeping the duration and amplifier. Resin Clump hides the effect particles, and such potions still take the splash, lingering and corruption modifiers.
Two Brewing Stand fuels are added, becoming available once the player obtains Blaze Powder. Each one provides 10 brewing uses at 2x speed, and the number of uses is rolled independently every time the stand is refueled. The data pack version can be installed on servers that cannot run the mod itself. Overbrew is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, is server required and client optional, and is not open source under a custom license.
