The Beer Craft
by dnlayu
With The Beer Craft, players brew beer, golden cider, potato beer and other drinks in a keg, starting from hops gathered by breaking tall grass.
What it does
The Beer Craft adds a brewing chain for alcoholic drinks. Hops come from breaking tall grass, two hops per mug. Players craft a keg and fill it with those ingredients, a brown slot for the mug and a blue slot for water, then leave the load to ferment for about 15 seconds before the drink is ready.
The mod covers beer, golden cider, potato beer and a shiny decoction, and drinking them grants a regeneration effect for 6 seconds along with other buffs. The mod is published for Forge only, for 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.2 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player install it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
