cookingtime: Time in real minutes ingredients have to boil

distillruns: How often it has to be distilled for full alcohol (0=without distilling)

alcohol: Absolute amount of alcohol 0-100 in a perfect potion (will be added directly to the player, where 100 means fainting)

More Recipes ideas: Cachaca, Gin, Whiskey, Tequila, Cider, etc. as well as high quality abbreviations like golden vodka etc.

I will not add more Recipes to the default config, as they would be public and viewable by users to cheat.

It is up to the Serveradmin to change and add Recipes, so players cannot cheat from the default config.

[Example] MATERIAL: Name after cooking

cooked:

Sugar_Cane: Sugar brew

Potato: Potatomash

Red_Mushroom: Mushroom brew
Cocoa_Beans: Colored brew
Milk_Bucket: Milky water
QUARTZ: Shiny Water
PUMPKIN: Pumpkin Brew
MAGMA_BLOCK: Melted Brew
NETHER_WART_BLOCK: Awkward Brew
BLAZE_ROD: Blaze Brew

type in the command "/brew reload" and check for errors. It is likely that you have syntax errors in the config file that makes the plugin not load at all. The most common error is using tabs instead of spaces, or having an incorrect amount of spaces (look at the example and follow what it does).

Additionally, you can use the code bracket feature (type ` around your code) to disable formatting and make the text more readable in the future.

Also, to make sure you're using the right ingredient names, use /brew itemname on the item.
If you still have a problem, you can reopen this issue.
