Basics

What is Brewery?

Brewery is a plugin in which the player is able to create, age, drink, and even package their own alcohol. Simply start by placing water inside a cauldron over a source of heat such as fire or lava. Then, throwing brew items into the cauldron will begin the cooking process. Each cauldron will give three bottles of alcohol. Clicking with an empty glass bottle will collect it.  

Certain recipes call for a specific wood barrel type and either won't start aging or will give the wrong type of alcohol if recipes are similar. There is a small barrel type (nine slots) and a large barrel type (twenty-seven slots) for alcohol to be aged. Once it reaches the certain required aging type it can be removed into a separate container to keep the alcohol at desired condition. 

 Once consuming alcohol, the player will gain a drunkenness bar displayed in green right above the HUD. The player will gain nausea, misspelled messages, vomiting, and begin to sway side-to-side, even when standing still. The bar will go away over time and will not go away with death. 

Mechanics of Brewing

One day of aging corresponds to one minute in real time. The cooking time can be checked by using a clock on the cauldron that has some form of alcohol inside of it. Stars represent the overall alcohol's perfection towards the recipe. Stars will be taken off if the ingredients are wrong, aged for too long, cooked for too long or wasn't distilled. The higher the stars, the more alcohol content and better product. Distilling is completed by placing glowstone dust in the fuel slot of a brewing stand. Clicking on a hopper will empty the bottle of alcohol.
