Brewing is a feature only available in our magical worlds on BadWolfMC Gamma. Unlike in vanilla Minecraft it is 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 high precision when it comes to ingredients or any other step in the process. If one step was not good enough, the quality of the potions may suffer, leading to side effects.

Depending on the recipe, some steps may not be needed. The following describes the more common procedures of brewing, but does not include all recipes. Players are encouraged to experiment and refine their techniques.

Fermenting

The first step consists of fermenting the fresh ingredients.

  1. Place a cauldron over a fire
  2. Fill the cauldron with water
  3. Add ingredients with a right click
  4. Wait while the ingredients ferment
  5. Use glass bottles to extract the fermented ingredients

Distilling

  1. Put the bottle with fermented ingredients into a brewing stand
  2. Use glowstone dust as a filter in the top slot of the brewing stand (the filter will not be consumed)
Distill fermented ingredients in a brewing stand.

Aging

Barrels are needed for aging. Please note that these are not the Minecraft barrel item but must be specially-built barrels. There are two types, small and large. The small barrel is opened with a right click on the sign, the big barrel with a right click on the spigot (fence).

  • Put the distilled bottles into the barrels for aging.
  • Depending on the recipe, the type of wood used may alter the quality of the aged brew.
  • The barrel should not be destroyed while aging, as it would leak after a short while.
  • When breaking the spigot, everything inside will be dumped out.

Small barrel

  1. Use 8 wooden stairs to build a barrel shape.
  2. Place a sign on the lower right side and write "Barrel" on the first line:

A "Barrel created" message should appear if the barrel was properly built.

Large barrel

Use 5 Fences, 16 Wooden stairs, and 18 wood planks to build a barrel shape. Attach a spigot (fence) and a sign that has "Barrel" written on the first line:

A "Barrel created" message should appear if the barrel was properly built. For the large barrel only, you may remove the sign after creating it.

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
  • Chat will be altered depending on drunkenness, many things players write may be incomprehensible, sometimes senseless
  • If the alcohol is 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 login attempts shortly after may be denied
  • After over-drinking the player may faint (disconnect)

Getting Sober

After drinking it takes a while until the alcohol is completely gone, but will steadily decrease after consumption. Eating bread and drinking milk can also help to reduce drunkenness faster.

When logging off, extremely drunk players may log back in at a completely unknown place in the middle of nowhere having no idea how they got there. If they log back in after several hours or the next morning, they may also find themselves at /home again without any memories.

If the alcohol was not of the best quality, the player may also face a hangover (slowness and hunger).
