Brewhouse

Brewhouse adds real beer brewing to Paper servers. Build a barrel in your cellar, ferment a recipe for real-time minutes, and pour mugs for your friends — but watch your intake: one mug too many can be your last.

Features

• Multiblock beer barrel — build a 2×2×2 cube of barrels, right-click it with a brewing stand, a hopper, a cauldron and two iron ingots, and it turns into a large custom-model barrel with a tap facing you.
• Brewing GUI — pour water buckets, add ingredients, watch the water level bar and start the fermentation.
• Cellar required — fermentation will not start under the open sky. Cover the barrel so no sky light reaches it; torches and glowstone don't matter, only the roof does. Real cellars, finally.
• Slow, honest fermentation — brews take 15–30 minutes. Quality rises to a plateau and drops if you wait too long; extra ingredients beyond the recipe raise the quality (up to ×2).
• Quality tiers — the better the brew, the stronger its effects.
• Four recipes by strength — Light Lager ★, Dark Porter ★★, Strong Ale ★★★, Black Stout ★★★★. Recipes auto-match by ingredients and are fully configurable — add your own drinks.
• Intoxication — every mug raises your level. Low levels give useful buffs (speed, haste, regeneration); high ones blur your vision and slow you down. From the 5th mug, every drink risks alcohol poisoning: wither, poison, and a special death message if it kills you.
• Custom models — the barrel and mugs are modeled in Blockbench. The plugin hosts and pushes the resource pack itself; no server.properties editing, no client mods.
• Achievements — from setting up your first barrel to drinking yourself to death.

How to brew

1. Build a 2×2×2 cube out of barrels (8 total).
2. Right-click the cube while holding: brewing stand ×1, hopper ×1, cauldron ×1, iron ingot ×2.
3. Pour water buckets (4–5 per recipe), then add ingredients — right-click with the item.
4. Right-click with an empty hand to open the GUI and start the brew.
5. Wait in your cellar. When it's done, right-click with an empty mug to pour.
6. To dismantle, sneak + left-click the barrel — everything drops back.

Commands

/brewhouse <give|reload|info|scan> — admin commands (permission brewhouse.admin); aliases /brew and /beer. Interacting with barrels is available to everyone by default (brewhouse.use).

• /brewhouse give <empty|beer> [quality] [recipe] [player] — hand out mugs
• /brewhouse reload — reload the config
• /brewhouse info — info about the nearest barrel
• /brewhouse scan [radius] — find nearby barrel cubes

Compatibility

• Server: Paper 1.21.1 or newer (tested on 1.21.11).
• Client: nothing required. Models use item_model on 1.21.4+; clients on 1.21.1–1.21.3 get the same models through a custom_model_data fallback included in the pack.

Installation

1. Drop Brewhouse-1.0.0.jar into your plugins/ folder.
2. Done — the plugin extracts the resource pack and serves it itself (default port 8123). Players get the pack prompt automatically on join.
3. On a public server, either forward port 8123, or upload plugins/Brewhouse/BrewhousePack.zip to any file hosting and put its URL into resource-pack.url in the config.
4. Optional: set resource-pack.required: true to kick players who decline the pack.

Everything — recipes, timings, effects, intoxication and messages — is configurable in plugins/Brewhouse/config.yml.
