FAQ

My station isn't brewing

Check each of these:

• Fuel: there is blaze powder in the fuel slot, or fuel left in the bar.
• Enough potions: the potion slot needs at least 3 potions, plus the Additional Amount shown when you hover over the arrow.
• A real recipe: the potion and the ingredient make a brewing recipe. Items that can't be brewed at all won't go in the slots.
• Room in the output: the output slot must be empty, or hold the same potion with space for a whole brew.

Can I add brewing recipes with a datapack?

Not before Minecraft 26.3. Brewing recipes come from the game and from mods that register them through their loader. See Brewing recipes.

Can I brew three different potions at once, like a brewing stand?

No. The station brews one kind of potion at a time, but in any amount. Use more stations for different potions.

Why doesn't my second amount upgrade do anything?

Only 1 amount upgrade counts by default. Your server can raise this with maxAmountUpgrade. The same goes for speed upgrades past the fifth, with maxSpeedUpgrade.

Do potions stack on their own now?

Yes. With Easy Brewing installed, potions, splash potions and lingering potions stack to 16 everywhere, not just in the station. Change it with potionStackSize.

Does the station work when nobody is nearby?

It works while its chunk is loaded, like a furnace.

Do upgrades use more fuel?

No. A blaze powder always lasts 20 brews. Speed upgrades just get through those brews faster, and amount upgrades make each brew bigger, so they get more potions out of every powder.

Does it work with Cobblemon?

On Minecraft 1.21.1, yes. See Cobblemon.
