Brews

Every drink on the server, from plain mazte to Alto Wine. And a few darker things.

Last updated: 2026-08-18 4:37 PM EST.

Potions are disabled on this server, so brews are how you obtain effects. Measure the time, the wood and the ingredients precisely, because each of them is scored separately.

Nobody has to watch a barrel. A brew continues ageing while you are offline, and even when no player is nearby.

How to brew

  1. Cook. Boil the exact ingredients in a cauldron for the minutes on its card below. The cauldron needs something hot in the block right under it: fire, a lit campfire, lava or a magma block. A cauldron only cooks while you are nearby, so stay in the area.
  2. Bottle. Right-click the cauldron with glass bottles.
  3. Distill. Only some drinks need this. Run the bottles through a brewing stand the exact number of times the card says, with glowstone dust in the top slot and blaze powder beside it as fuel.
  4. Age. Put the bottles in a barrel of the right wood, and leave them for the time on the card. Every time on this page is real time, and one year inside a barrel takes twenty real minutes.

Barrels

A barrel is where a drink matures, and you have two ways to obtain one.

A plain barrel

Craft an ordinary Minecraft barrel and place it: it holds 6 bottles and counts as Oak.

A cask

Build one whenever you need more capacity, or the particular wood a recipe names. A small cask holds 9 bottles and a big one holds 27.

Building a cask

Use a single kind of wood throughout, and attach a sign to the front reading Barrel.

The chat announces Barrel created, and from then on you right-click the barrel to deposit your bottles inside.

No message? One of these three is usually responsible.

Stars and mistakes

Every drink earns 1 to 5 stars, according to how closely you followed the recipe, and a better batch gives a stronger effect. Its difficulty determines how much room for error you have, from Forgiving to Master.

Two mistakes destroy a batch outright. Omitting an ingredient the recipe requires ruins it, and so does distilling a drink that needs no distilling, or bottling a spirit you never distilled. The result is a permanently Ruined Brew that nothing can recover.

Everything else only costs you stars: the wrong wood, a barrel opened late, a cauldron a minute out.

Drunkenness fades on its own, and bread and milk lower it faster if you need to recover sooner.

Seal a drink with /brew seal before you sell it, because unsealed bottles will not stack together. See Player Shops.

The drinks

The catalogue begins with the most forgiving drinks and ends with the poisons. Every card names the ingredients, the steps in order, and the effect a successful batch gives you.
