Brewing

What is it?​

SolarCiv has a custom brewing feature that goes way beyond vanilla potions. You can craft proper drinks by cooking ingredients, bottling them, and then optionally distilling and aging them. The better you follow the recipe steps (time, distill runs, aging), the better the final drink.

The brewing loop (simple version)​

  • Cook ingredients in a water cauldron
  • Bottle the drink
  • Optional - Distill it (brewing stand + glowstone dust)
  • Optional - Age it (barrels, time improves it)
  • Drink / trade / sell

Step-by-step: making a drink​

1) Set up your cauldron​

  • Place a cauldron and fill it with water
  • Heat it from underneath (commonly a campfire)

2) Add ingredients and cook​

  • Throw the recipe ingredients into the cauldron
  • Let it cook for the recipe time
  • Timing matters - too early/late usually lowers quality

3) Bottle it​

  • Use glass bottles on the cauldron to collect the drink

Distilling (optional)​

Some drinks want distilling for a higher quality result.

  • Put the bottled drink into a brewing stand
  • Add glowstone dust
  • Some recipes require multiple distill runs - do the correct amount

Aging (optional)​

Some drinks are meant to be aged for the best version.

  • Put the drink into a barrel
  • Let it age for the required time
  • Aging too little (or too long) can lower quality

Drinking effects​

Drinks can increase drunkenness.

  • A little might be fine (or even beneficial)
  • Too much can cause negative effects and wobbliness
