Better Brewing Fuels

Utility to add charcoal and soul sand as alternative brewing fuels for the vanilla brewing stand.

Better Brewing Fuels expands Minecraft's brewing system by adding alternative fuels for brewing stands, giving players more flexibility without changing vanilla brewing mechanics. This makes potions more accessible to early-game players who haven't made it to The Nether yet. Does not change the crafting recipe, though, so they will need to find a Blaze Rod somewhere to craft one, or find a Brewing Stand in the world.

Supported Fuels:

  • Charcoal: 4 brewing operations
  • Soul Sand: 8 brewing operations
  • Blaze Powder: 20 brewing operations

Each operation can brew up to three potions simultaneously.

A simple, lightweight improvement that makes brewing more convenient and accessible.
