Drink Brewing
Every brew is different. Time your brews precisely and accurately for a more potent brew. In order to make a 5-star brew, you'll need to follow the exact directions for the brew. Cooking it for too short or too long, distilling it incorrectly, or not aging for long enough will lead to a lower-quality brew, which will sell for less.
The only time that cops are allowed to have a personal farm is when that farm is going to be used for brewing drinks. These farms must be very small and approved by an admin. Using a farm that is not approved, or for any other reasons then brewing drinks will result in a permanent demotion from cop and a ban. Additionally brewing outside of a cop house can be grounds for a demotion.
Getting Started
First things first, brewing is exclusive to cops. You can find more information about enrolling, the rules, what it means to be a cop, etc. on the Police page. After you've enrolled, you'll have to rent one of the police houses (see "Police Houses" in the map of spawn) for $5,000-$10,000 a day. Once you own a police region, you can easily teleport back to it with /as tp <region>.
Each cop house has the following brewing equipment:
- Cauldrons - put your ingredients in here to cook. If your cauldrons are empty, you can fill them by looking at them and typing /fc.
- Brewing stands - once you take the cooked ingredients out of the cauldron, place them in a brewing stand if they need to be distilled. Make sure to place a glowstone at the top of the brewing stand.
- Barrels - if a drink needs to be aged, leave it in a wood barrel. Leave it in the barrel for the number of "years" specified - each year is one Minecraft day.
- Sealing tables - place your brewed drinks into this, and after a moment, they will be sealed. Sealing drinks allows you to sell them to the liquid store.
- A few double-chests for storage. You may only store brewing-related items here, any use of these for general storage will be punished.
The Brewing Process
Cooking
Cooking is the first step of all brews. Every brew requires the ingredients to be cooked first. To cook:
- Make sure your cauldron is full of water. You can fill it up by looking at it and typing /fc.
- With the appropriate ingredient in your hand, right-click the cauldron to add the ingredient. You should hear a sound and see a particle effect. Repeat this step for all necessary ingredients for the brew.
- Once all the ingredients are in the cauldron, leave them in for the specified cooking time. The cooking time of the receipe is in real-time minutes. You can check how long the cauldron has been cooking by right-clicking it with a clock.
- Once the cooking time has completed, right-click the cauldron with an empty bottle to extract the brew. A full cauldron will yield three bottles of brew.
Tip: Divide the ingredients into stacks of the correct amount in your inventory, so you can easily right-click them all into the cauldron instead of having to count them out while adding.
Distilling
Most drinks and brews require a distilling period. Distilling is simple; place the brew into a brewing stand, with a piece of glowstone dust in the ingredient slot. The drink will automatically distill for the required number of runs. Wait for distilling to complete (You'll know it's done when there's no more brewing animation), then take the brew out of the brewing stand. The item should show how many distill runs it has gone through, you'll want this number to match the amount specified by the recipe.
Aging
Most drinks also require an aging period. Aging is simple; place the brew into one of the barrels in your police house. Leave it inside for the specified number of "years". One year equates to one in-game day (approx. 20 minutes), not a real-time day.
