Brews

Every drink on the server, and a few poisons.

Last updated: 2026-09-27 12:44 PM EST.

Potions are off. Brews give you effects. Time, wood and ingredients are each scored, so be exact.

How to brew

  1. Cook. Put the exact ingredients in a cauldron with fire, a lit campfire, lava or a magma block under it. Boil for the minutes on the card. A cauldron only cooks while you are nearby, so stay close.
  2. Bottle. Right-click the cauldron with glass bottles.
  3. Distill. Only if the card says so. Run the bottles through a brewing stand that many times. Glowstone dust on top, blaze powder as fuel.
  4. Age. Put the bottles in a barrel of the right wood for the time on the card. Nobody has to watch it: a barrel keeps ageing while you are offline and while no player is nearby. Times are real time. One barrel year is 20 minutes.

Barrels

Two ways to get one.

A plain barrel

A normal Minecraft barrel. Holds 6 bottles. Counts as Oak.

A cask

For more room, or the wood a recipe names. Small: 9 bottles. Big: 27.

Building a cask

Use one kind of wood. Put a sign on the front that says Barrel.
