Totally Not Real Energy Drinks
by ardaryusz
Totally Not Real Energy Drinks is a Fabric food mod that adds reusable drink cans and brewable sodas and energy drinks, made by filling cans at a water-filled cauldron.
What it does
Players fill an empty can by right-clicking a cauldron that holds water, which uses one cauldron level. The can is then reused, so a handful of cans covers a long session. The drinks are brewed on a Brewing Stand from water and common ingredients such as sugar, cocoa beans, redstone, golden carrot, chorus fruit, apple, soul sand and ender pearls.
Each brew gives a different effect. Speed and Strength potions for ten seconds are among the results, and several recipes follow a chain in which a plain water base is combined with a second ingredient and then a third to reach the finished drink. The set covers a range of drink families, each with its own base line.
The mod runs on client and server, so a multiplayer server and every player need it. It targets Fabric and game versions 1.21.1, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with the 1.21.6-1.21.11 file for 1.21.11 as the latest build, published on 2026-03-19. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

How it compares
Sweetmilk is a Fabric mod that runs on client and server and is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is not open source; it covers 1.21.1 – 26.1.2. HungerAndThirst is open source under the MIT License, runs on client and server and covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, so it supports the same game range as this mod. Vanilla Thirst Bar is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is for 1.21.11 alone with a license that reserves all rights.
