MK's Juicebar

MK's Juicebar is a food-and-drink mod that adds 16+ new food items, called Juices, to Minecraft. These Juices are like little potions, with shorter duration and more limited effects, but they can be crafted using only vanilla Overworld resources. It aims to provide access to potion effects without going to the Nether or adding any new resources requiring a change to world generation. As such, the mod is compact and modular, and can be plugged into any modpack or existing world without altering what you've already got.

MK's Juicebar adds to Minecraft:

• 17 new foods, each with a useful, low-level effect.
• A new block, called the Crucible, which can cook glass without consuming fuel.
• New aesthetic glass blocks and panes modelled after classic pop bottles.
• A new armour material, Drinkmetal, that bridges the gap between iron and diamond, as well as providing a new, extra-durable bow item.

MK's Juicebar is regularly updated, with an eye towards adding a full suite of features and built-in integration for many of the largest and most popular mods. Check back regularly to see what I've added!

MK's Juicebar is available for Minecraft 1.16.5 and 1.18 on Forge. A Fabric version may become available when and if I learn how to port mods to Fabric and have the time to do so.  Please feel free to contact me with bug reports if you encounter any issues; my ability to quality-test my mods is limited as a solo developer, so bug reports are always handy.

Special thank yous to:

• Kaupenjoe, vectorwing, and diesieben07, for indirectly teaching me how to mod Minecraft via tutorials, forum threads, and open-source repositories. Though I have never spoken to any of you, you all have been a big part of my daily work these last few weeks.
• GRUULBBY, for being an excellent sounding board and tireless moral support.

 

MK Drinks is the first mod I have created, as a learning experience, and to fill the void for smaller, shorter consumable potion effects that can be made before entering the Nether. From there, I also wanted to experiment with custom furnaces, provide more uses for vanilla materials, and add new gear, in particular a better bow than vanilla. All of this resulted in the mod contents, which I tried to draw together into a single, coherent theme; the power of cola drinks and their bottles

 

To begin, craft a Crucible, using four bricks, one iron ingot, a furnace, and three cobblestone (See JEI for recipe shape.) This block, which must be placed over a campfire to function, is the heart of MKDrinks, and will let you forge sand into specialty glass for making drinks.

 

MK Drinks is built on Java for Minecraft 1.16.5 via Forge. A Fabric version may become available when and if I learn how to port mods to Fabric and have the time to do so. MK Drinks will not be backported to previous versions of Minecraft but will hopefully be updated for future versions, likely starting with 1.18. Please feel free to contact me with bug reports if you encounter any issues; my ability to quality-test my mods is limited as a solo developer, so bug reports are always handy.
