Hyper Fermentation — 0.16.33 to 0.17.1

This update brings easier beginner brewing, a clearer guidebook, expanded automation, draft serving, Create compatibility, custom intoxication, and a long list of fixes to machines and item rendering.

0.17.1 — Intoxication fixes and improvements

• Fixed drinking in creative mode not applying custom intoxication.
• Added four intoxication stages: Warm Glow, Tipsy, Drunk, and Unsteady.
• Added an alcohol meter showing your current stage, intensity, time until sober, and movement penalty.
• Increased the default movement penalties to 4% when Tipsy, 8% when Drunk, and 12% when Unsteady. Warm Glow has no movement penalty.
• Added settings to adjust the maximum movement penalty or disable it.
• Added a client setting to hide the alcohol meter.
• Added drink tooltip information and clearer feedback showing how much a drink contributes to intoxication.
• Fixed fallback alcohol strength for spirit blends such as whiskey and brandy. Bottles with recorded proof retain their existing values.
• Bottles, cans, jugs, flasks, and draft mugs now apply the same alcohol dose for the same drink.
• Added /hypersdrinks alcohol to check the loaded mod version, intoxication level, recovery time, and relevant settings.
• Added /hypersdrinks alcohol clear for operators to clear their own intoxication during testing.
• Intoxication still fades gradually while playing, persists through logout, and resets on death.
• Milk does not instantly sober you up. It temporarily removes the visible effect, but remaining alcohol exposure restores it.
• Existing drink benefits remain active.
• No forced attack or block-placement delays, camera shake, or nausea in the default custom system.
• Existing world settings are preserved. If movement penalties were previously disabled, the status feedback now makes that clear.

0.17.0 — Custom intoxication and Create compatibility

Custom intoxication

• Added accumulated alcohol exposure based on drink proof.
• Added custom intoxication stages, a status effect, and drinking feedback.
• Stronger drinks increase intoxication more quickly.
• Added gradual recovery, saved exposure, and configurable movement penalties.
• Prevented repeated drinks from stacking duplicate movement modifiers.
• Added an option to disable custom intoxication and restore the previous alcohol effects.

Create pipes, pumps, and tanks

• Added the Beverage Transfer station with Pour and Bottle modes.
• Added fluid transport for finished drinks and all syrup varieties.
• Drinks and syrups can travel through Create pipes, powered pumps, and Fluid Tanks.
• Each serving uses 250 mB.
• Transport preserves drink names, quality, proof, flavor, batch and bottle identity, finishing, and storage history.
• Different drink records refuse to mix instead of losing or averaging their data. Individual bottles generally need separate tanks or an emptied route.
• Partial transfers must reach a complete serving before producing a finished item.
• Added Sealed Beverage Samples to recover the exact remaining fluid when a Beverage Transfer station breaks.
• Finished drinks return and require their matching containers.
• Syrup transfer does not create or consume glass bottles.
• Drinks do not continue fermenting or gain aging quality inside transport tanks.
• Time in fluid transport counts toward warm exposure, without flask insulation.
• Create remains optional.

Create milling

• Added seven optional milling recipes:
  • Potatoes
  • Sweet berries
  • Apples
  • Pears
  • Cherries
  • Peaches
  • Plums
• Each recipe produces the matching pressed ingredient.
• Left Create’s existing wheat and sugar-cane recipes unchanged.

Guide updates

• Added Pipes and Milling and Alcohol Effects guide pages.
• Added contextual instructions for the Beverage Transfer station.
• Documented fluid mixing restrictions, container returns, and partial-fluid recovery.

Beverage transport is intended for closed pipe-and-tank routes. Open outlets, fluid-consuming recipes, and other mods’ block-breaking behavior can still consume or spill fluid.

0.16.68 — Guidebook cleanup

• Shortened First Brew to four numbered stages with a supply list and clearer slot instructions.
• Removed outdated instructions implying that powered climate equipment was required before trying fermentation.

0.16.67 — Easier beginner brewing

• Unlocked basic Honey Mead at mastery 0, alongside Grain Brew.
• Kept higher mastery requirements for specialty meads.

• Added contextual barrel instructions when sneak-right-clicking with an empty hand.
• Added clearer advice for missing inputs, fermentation progress, temperature problems, and bottling.
• Fixed purifier fluid connections becoming unavailable during bucket and retained-output cycles.

0.16.66 — Flat syrup textures

• Added optional natural keg conditioning.
• Prime an unfinished keg with sugar and leave it in suitable cold-room conditions to develop natural sparkle.

• Conditioning pauses when conditions are unsuitable and retains progress when the keg is moved or saved.
• Serving from a keg before conditioning finishes leaves those servings unfinished.
• Added forced carbonation through the Carbonation Tank.
• Forced finishing uses an unfinished, unprimed keg, one redstone pressure charge, and 1000 mB of water.
• Forced finishing takes sixty loaded seconds.
• Added finish labels to individual servings.
• Added tavern premiums of +2 emeralds for natural conditioning and +1 for forced finishing, subject to existing payout limits.

• Added a chilled-draft tavern premium.
• Added guide and JEI support for the draft-serving loop.

0.16.61 — Brewery Generator and mash residue
