What is BreweryX?
BreweryX is a Minecraft plugin (Spigot, Paper, and Folia) that adds full brewing to the game: fermenting ingredients in a cauldron, distilling strong spirits, aging in barrels made from different wood types, and consuming finished drinks with effects and intoxication. It is an actively maintained fork of the classic Brewery plugin.
The plugin reads recipes from a YAML file called recipes.yml: players can brew beer from wheat and water, distill whiskey, age mead, or create fantasy potions with custom effects. The official documentation is only in English, which is why many server owners look for BreweryX in their native language — now we have a complete English-language generator and reference guide.
Our generator fully reproduces the official BreweryX documentation format: you specify ingredients, cooking time, number of distillation runs, barrel type, aging duration, color, strength, and effects — and the ready YAML can be pasted into your server config or downloaded as a file.

Quality (poor/average/good) depends on brewing precision: the higher the difficulty, the harder it is to make a good drink. You can set different display names, lore, effects, and CustomModelData for each quality level.
