BreweryX Help Guide
Unlike in vanilla Minecraft, it’s not as easy as adding an ingredient to a brewing Stand and waiting for it to finish. Depending on the recipe the whole process can be difficult and time consuming. Some recipes may need a high precision when it comes to ingredients or any other step in the process. If particular step was done incorrectly or at the wrong time, the quality of the potion may suffer or you’ll end up with an entirely different brew!
Depending on the Recipe, some steps may not be needed, the following instructions describes the most common procedure of brewing.
Fermenting
Obtain a cauldron and fill it with water.
Add a heat source under your cauldron. This can be one of many:
Fire or soul fire
Lava or magma blocks
Campfire or soul campfire
Add the ingredients for your recipe by right clicking the cauldron with each one.
Use a clock on the cauldron to see how long the drink has been brewing for.
When the cauldron has brewed for the instructed amount of time, use 3 glass bottles to fully extract the contents of the cauldron.
At this point, for some recipes, you may be done! Other recipes may require aging and/or distilling. Please proceed to the next page for documentation of this process.
Aging
Aging is a feature in BreweryX that allows you to age your brews in barrels. When a brew is aged, it will gain additional effects and values based on the brew’s recipe.
Creating a Barrel
To age a brew, you must first create a barrel. Barrels can be created by placing a sign on a collection of blocks with the text Barrel on it.
Small Barrel (9Slots) Large Barrel (27 Slots)
Must have signs with “Barrel” written on it
Barrels
After you put your drinks in barrels, you just need to wait! 1 “year” is equals 1 in-game day. If you overdo the drink or use the wrong type of wood, the drink is likely to spoil.

Open the Barrel by clicking on it.
Put the Bottles into the Barrels for aging.
For every Minecraft Day, the brews will age a year.
Depending on the Recipe, the Type of wood used for building the barrel may alter the quality of the aged Brew.
The Minecraft-barrel is always of wood type oak.
Distilling
Some Recipes don't need distilling. Those that do sometimes require more than one distilling step. The amount of distilling steps can be found in the recipe.
Put the bottle with ferment into the brewing stand
Put glowstone dust as filter on top into the brewing stand (The filter will not be consumed)

Brewery Effects
Drinking
The Amount of Alcohol inside the Brew will be applied to the player when drinking. Depending on the quality of it, that may have different effects.
The Player may not be able to walk normally anymore, he will weave, making it almost impossible to walk straight
Effects like Blindness, Confusion, Poison etc. occur
The Chat will be altered depending on drunkenness, many things players write may be incomprehensible, sometimes it seems senseless
Is the Alcohol particularly strong, it may have poisonous effects
After drinking a lot, there is a chance of vomiting
When logging off, the player may have difficulties reaching his character, thus some logins shortly after may be denied
After overdrinking the player may faint (Disconnecting)
Getting Sober
After drinking it takes a while until the alcohol is completely gone. During that time the alcohol level is steadily decreasing. Also it can be decreased through consuming of items defined in the config.
When logging off extremely drunk, it may happen that, if the player logs back in after a while, he may find himself at an completely unknown place in the middle of nowhere having no idea how he got there.
But if he logs back in after some hours or next morning, he will find himself at /home, again without any memories.
Also if the Alcohol was not of best quality, the player may face some bad type of hangover (slowness and hunger).
