The Kvass Mod
by garz0
The Kvass Mod adds kvass drinks to Minecraft, with recipes for several regional variants that players brew and bottle.
What it does
Kvass is a fermented drink, and the mod brings several kvass variants into the game as items players craft and drink. Kvass Taras, Monastirskij Kvass and Lidskij Kvass are each made from their own recipe, and crafting recipes for them are shown in the images section of the author's page. Each variant is a separate item, so a player can keep a stock of more than one.
Zheltaja Bochka is a brewing step rather than a drink: it needs the Big Kvass Bottle, not the regular Kvass Bottle used by the other recipes. Players who only want the drinks can skip it and use the regular bottle instead.
The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20 and 1.20.1, with files for both game versions. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source. The latest Forge file is 1.1.0-RELEASE for 1.20.1, published on 2026-06-27.
