Honeybrew Tavern

Quickstart

1. Find a vanilla village. Honeybrew Tavern builds a wooden tavern near the village, complete with a Tavern Brewing Counter and a fenced crop garden.
2. Harvest the tavern garden or trade with its Bartender to obtain the mod’s seeds and crops.
3. Right-click the Tavern Brewing Counter. Place three ingredients in its input slots in any order, then wait about 10 seconds for the drink to appear in the output slot.
4. Right-click a finished drink to gain its featured effect. Drinking also causes 25 seconds of Nausea, and returns an empty Tavern Mug when playing outside Creative mode.
5. Craft a Tavern Recipe Book, hold it in your main hand, and use it to view the nine tavern brews. Use the arrows at the bottom of the book to change pages.

You can also craft your own counter immediately:

Overview

Honeybrew Tavern adds a small tavern-brewing system centered on:

• Nine magical drinks with useful effects and a short drunkenness penalty.
• Six crops that provide the plants needed for brewing.
• A Tavern Brewing Counter with a dedicated brewing interface.
• Village taverns, gardens, and Bartender villagers.
• A recipe book for browsing every brew.
• Bar Stools that players can sit on.
• Compostable seeds and spores for recycling excess crops.

What It Adds

Brewing Equipment

• Tavern Brewing Counter — Accepts three ingredients and produces tavern drinks.
• Tavern Mug — The container used for ordinary tavern drinks.
• Tavern Recipe Book — Displays one brewing recipe per page.
• Bar Stool — Decorative seating that can hold one player.

Crops And Plant Items

The mod includes six plantable starters and six matching harvested plants:

• Sky Mint Seeds → Sky Mint
• Emberbloom Seeds → Emberbloom
• Deep Kelp Spores → Deep Kelp
• Moonflower Seeds → Moonflower
• Ironroot Seeds → Ironroot
• Cloudblossom Seeds → Cloudblossom

How To Use

Tavern Brewing Counter

Place the counter and right-click it to open its brewing screen. The screen has:

• Three ingredient slots.
• One output slot.
• A progress arrow.
• Your normal inventory.

Put the three required ingredients into the input slots in any order. The counter does not use fuel. When a valid recipe is present, it lights up, produces smoke, and brews for approximately 10 seconds.

Each completed batch:

• Consumes one of each ingredient.
• Produces one drink.
• Can continue automatically if the input stacks still contain ingredients.
• Stops if the output slot is full or contains a different drink.

Take the finished drink from the output slot. Breaking the counter drops its stored contents.

Tavern Recipe Book

Craft the book, hold it in your main hand, and use it. The book contains nine pages, one for each Tavern Brewing Counter recipe.

Each page shows the three ingredients above the resulting drink. Hover over an item to see its name. Click the arrows at the bottom of the page to move backward or forward through the recipes.

Bar Stools

Craft and place a Bar Stool, then right-click it to sit down. Only one player can use a stool at a time. Dismount normally using your usual vehicle dismount control.

Finding Seeds And Crops

The easiest ways to obtain the crop starters are:

• Harvesting the crop garden attached to a village tavern.
• Trading with a Bartender.
• Using Creative mode’s item groups.

Use a seed or Deep Kelp Spores on farmland to plant the matching crop. The crops grow like ordinary farmland crops and can be fertilized with bone meal.

A mature crop drops one matching harvested plant and one starter. Breaking an immature crop still returns its seed or spores, allowing you to replant.

All six starters are compostable, so surplus seeds and spores can be recycled in a composter.

Brewing Recipes

Place each recipe’s three ingredients into the counter in any order.

All ordinary drinks also apply Nausea for 25 seconds. This penalty is applied alongside the featured effect.

Abilities And Mechanics

Magical Crop Growth

The six crops grow on farmland and can be fertilized with bone meal. Bees carrying nectar can also encourage nearby crops to grow faster when they fly close to them.

Keep bees near your tavern garden for a lively, productive farm. Replant mature crops after harvesting to maintain a steady supply of brewing ingredients.

Drink Effects

Tavern drinks are useful but deliberately have a trade-off:

• The main effect lasts 90 seconds.
• Nausea lasts 25 seconds.
• Drinking a normal tavern drink consumes one drink and gives you one empty Tavern Mug.
• Drinks can be stacked up to 16.

The Turtle Master Tonic provides powerful protection, but its Slowness IV makes it best used before a dangerous fight rather than during travel.

Raging Tonic Splash Alcohol

Raging Tonic Splash Alcohol is thrown like a splash potion.

When it hits nearby players, it applies:

• Regeneration II for 3 minutes.
• Nausea for 25 seconds.

When it hits a Witch, the Witch is transformed into a permanent Bartender villager. This makes the brew a way to recruit a Bartender even away from a village.

Bees And Gardens

The tavern garden uses farmland and an internal water channel. Bees with nectar can help the crops grow, while a Bartender assigned to the tavern tends the garden automatically.

Villages And Bartenders

Village Taverns

A tavern is built near vanilla villages as the area becomes loaded. The building includes:

• A wooden tavern hall.
• A Tavern Brewing Counter.
• A barrel and crafting table.
• Lanterns, windows, doors, and a pitched roof.
• A fenced crop garden behind the building.

The counter acts as the tavern’s workstation. An adult unemployed villager can claim an available counter and become a Bartender.

Bartender Farming

A Bartender assigned to a village tavern maintains the attached garden. Bartenders can:

• Plant missing crops.
• Harvest mature crops.
• Replant harvested farmland.
• Keep the tavern supplied with ingredients over time.

A counter placed by the player can also serve as a workstation for a nearby unemployed adult villager. A manually placed counter does not automatically provide the built-in village garden.

Bartender Trades

Bartenders unlock crop starters and drinks as they gain experience. Their possible trades include:

Trade availability follows normal villager trading rules, so a Bartender may not display every possible offer at once.

Progression And Strategy

1. Locate a village tavern and collect its starters.
2. Set up a crop field near your base, keeping bees nearby if possible.
3. Craft mugs and a brewing counter so you can convert crops into drinks.
4. Use the recipe book to check ingredients while expanding your crop selection.
5. Choose drinks for the situation:
   • Waterdeep Draught for underwater work.
   • Emberguard Ale for lava and fire hazards.
   • Ironroot Stout for combat.
   • Skyfall Cider for safe drops and aerial travel.
   • Cloudstep Tonic for controlled vertical movement.
   • Moonwatch Mead for nighttime exploration.
   • Swiftfoot Cider for travel.
   • Turtle Master Tonic for high-damage encounters.
6. Reserve Raging Tonic Splash Alcohol for emergency healing or converting Witches into Bartenders.
7. Compost excess starters instead of letting surplus seeds fill your storage.
