Simply Alcohol
by Pyro251
Simply Alcohol brings beer making into Minecraft through three new blocks, the Wort Boiler, the Yeast Fermenter and the Wooden Keg, while keeping the vanilla crafting flow.
What it does
Players brew drinks by feeding ingredients through the three blocks in order. A Wort Boiler takes barley and heats it over a campfire placed under its fluid tank. Sugar and sweet berries go into a Yeast Fermenter, and the finished wort and yeast are then put into a Wooden Keg, which needs 24 in-game hours to finish the beer. The recipes are described in the mod's own documentation and follow that sequence.
The mod is built around the existing game, so it adds drinks and brewing steps without new dimensions or systems. Forge and NeoForge builds are published for 1.20.1 and 26.1.2, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Use cases
Survival brewing
Players grow barley and sweet berries, then build a small brewery around the three blocks in their base.
Server brewing
Server owners add a drink economy where players trade the beer they make through the kegs.
Who it’s for: Players who want a brewing chain built from vanilla items, and server owners who want beer making in a multiplayer world. Both sides need the mod installed.

What the author says
The Beer mod keeps things vanilla, while still providing a fun beer making experience. Mod is better if you are under-aged.
