Wizard's Ale

Wizard's Ale brews a strange drink from a fairly simple recipe. Each Ale grants one of several effects drawn from a Wizard's Reagent base listed in the mod, and a potion effect cannot be removed once it starts. Some effects are plainly disruptive: a drinker may become unable to digest milk, which produces lactose intolerance, and some drinkers explode upon drinking. Some effects are gentler: a setting controls how often a drinker gets only nausea instead of the stronger result.

The mod also covers a set of playful effects. Hostile entities and other players near the drinker can become invisible for a configurable time. A drinker may become small and much faster, a state the author calls Squirrel Rage. Another effect makes the drinker's hands slippery, so items are hard to hold and the drinker cannot harm entities. Random teleportation can move the drinker unexpectedly. Configuration files are planned for a later release, so the server has no options to change yet.

Wizard's Ale requires Pehkui and runs on Forge. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and the latest Forge file, 1.2.0-1.20.1, was published on 2024-07-17 on the beta channel.
