Dynamic Brewing

Dynamic Brewing makes Minecraft’s brewing system fully data-driven by moving brewing recipes into datapack-accessible recipe files. Instead of being limited to combinations hard-coded
by Minecraft, modpack creators and datapack authors can add, remove, or replace brewing recipes without writing Java code.

For players, the brewing stand continues to feel familiar: add Blaze Powder for fuel, place up to three inputs in the bottle slots, and supply an ingredient. The difference is that the
available combinations can now be customized by the installed datapacks or modpack. A pack could introduce new potion-making paths, change the ingredients required by existing potions,
disable unwanted recipes, or even allow entirely different items to be processed in a brewing stand.

Features include:

• Data-driven brewing recipes loaded through Minecraft’s recipe manager.
• Datapack recipes that can define the input, brewing ingredient, and resulting item.
• Support for item components, allowing recipes to distinguish between potion contents and produce results with components such as potion effects or custom names.
• Support for non-potion inputs and outputs. For example, a custom pack could turn an Apple and a Stick into a specially named Diamond.
• Brewing-stand slot validation for custom ingredients and inputs, so compatible items can be inserted normally or shift-clicked into the appropriate slots.
• Recipes that reload alongside other datapack content, making experimentation and modpack customization easier.
• Integration for displaying data-driven brewing recipes in JEI.
• KubeJS integration for adding and manipulating brewing recipes through recipe scripts.
• Bundled datapack versions of Minecraft’s standard brewing recipes, preserving the familiar progression from Water Bottles to Awkward Potions and onward to effects such as Healing,
  Strength, Swiftness, Fire Resistance, and Night Vision.

Dynamic Brewing is primarily designed for modpack developers, datapack creators, and players who want brewing to become a configurable part of progression. A survival pack could make
powerful potions require rare materials, an adventure pack could connect brewing to items found in specific regions, and a kitchen or alchemy-themed pack could repurpose the brewing
stand as a more general processing station.

When used without additional customization, players can continue brewing the familiar vanilla potion recipes. When paired with a datapack or modpack, the same brewing stand can support
a substantially different alchemy system tailored to that pack’s theme and progression
