Getting started

These pages cover Easy Brewing for Minecraft 1.20.1 to 26.2. For Minecraft 26.3, use the version menu at the top of the page.

Easy Brewing adds the Item Brewing Station, a brewing stand that brews from a whole stack of potions and can be upgraded to brew faster and in bigger batches. The station, its upgrades and its recipes are the same in every version. What changes is how brewing recipes are added and which other mods it works with.

Install

1. Install a mod loader for your Minecraft version:

   Minecraft	Loaders
   1.20.1	Forge, Fabric
   1.21.1	NeoForge, Fabric
   1.21.11	NeoForge, Fabric, Forge
   26.1, 26.2	NeoForge, Fabric

   On Fabric, also install Fabric API.

2. Put the Easy Brewing jar for your Minecraft version and loader in your mods folder.

3. Optional: add JEI or REI to look up brewing recipes from the station. Other mods lists which ones your version supports.

Your first brew

1. Craft an Item Brewing Station. It needs diamonds and a blaze powder, so it comes after your first trip to the Nether.

2. Place it and open it. Mine it with a pickaxe to pick it back up. Anything inside drops when it breaks.

3. Add fuel. Put blaze powder in the top-left slot. One powder lasts 20 brews, the same as a vanilla brewing stand.

4. Add water bottles and nether wart. Water bottles go in the top slot, nether wart in the slot to its left. The station needs at least 3 potions in the slot to start.

5. Wait for the arrow. A brew takes 20 seconds. It uses one nether wart and three water bottles, and puts three Awkward Potions in the bottom slot.
