Brewing

ItemsAdderAdditions adds a brewing recipe type for brewing stands. It registers a Paper potion mix and adds support for exact ItemsAdder, MMOItems, and vanilla item matching.

Basic recipe

info:
  namespace: my_pack

recipes:
  brewing:
    ruby_elixir:
      base:
        item: minecraft:awkward_potion
      ingredient:
        item: my_pack:ruby_dust
        consume: 1
      result:
        item: my_pack:ruby_elixir
      brew_time: 400
      fuel_cost: 1

base is the preferred key for the input bottle. The legacy key input is still accepted.

Options

Key	Type	Default	Description
`enabled`	boolean	`true`	Set to `false` to skip this recipe.
`base.item`	string	(required)	Required input bottle/item. The legacy path `input.item` is also accepted.
`ingredient.item`	string	(required)	Required brewing ingredient.
`ingredient.consume`	integer	`1`	How many ingredient items to consume. Must be greater than `0`.
`result.item`	string	(required)	Output item.
`result.amount`	integer	`1`	Brewing outputs are clamped to one item per bottle slot.
`brew_time`	integer	`400`	Brewing time in ticks. Must be greater than `0`.
`fuel_cost`	integer	`1`	Blaze-powder fuel units to consume. Must be greater than `0`.
`on_complete`	section	(none)	Optional sound and command actions after brewing completes.

Item references

base.item, ingredient.item, and result.item can use:

vanilla materials like POTION or minecraft:awkward_potion
ItemsAdder items like my_pack:ruby_dust
MMOItems items like mmoitems:material:ruby_dust

Tags are not valid here because brewing must compare concrete item stacks. See IDs for supported item formats.

Completion actions

on_complete runs when the brewing stand finishes and at least one player is viewing the stand.

on_complete:
  sound:
    name: minecraft:block.brewing_stand.brew
    source: master
    volume: 1.0
    pitch: 1.0
  commands:
    reward:
      command: "say {player} brewed a ruby elixir"
      as_console: true

{player} is replaced with the viewer player's name. Commands run as the player unless as_console: true is set.

Complete example

info:
  namespace: my_pack

recipes:
  brewing:
    ruby_elixir:
      enabled: true
      base:
        item: minecraft:awkward_potion
      ingredient:
        item: my_pack:ruby_dust
        consume: 2
      result:
        item: my_pack:ruby_elixir
        amount: 1
      brew_time: 600
      fuel_cost: 2
      on_complete:
        sound:
          name: minecraft:entity.player.levelup
          source: master

Common mistakes

Setting result.amount above 1. Brewing stands only hold one result item per bottle slot, so the amount is clamped to 1.
Using #minecraft:* tags. Brewing recipes match exact item stacks, not tags.
Setting fuel_cost higher than the fuel currently in the stand. The recipe will not finish until enough fuel is available.

Reload behavior

Run /iareload after editing brewing recipes.
