Red Bull for Fabric & NeoForge

By
MairwunNx

26 cans brewed from bull bile and taurine or found in chests by biome: wings that let you glide, and caffeine that stops your heart above 100.

I’m a fan of Red Bull – the best energy drinks in the world. They give me energy and a good mood for the whole day, so I dedicated this project to them.

🥫 Red Bull brings 26 real cans into survival, as a mod for Fabric and NeoForge. You brew taurine from bull bile, fill cans at a crafting table, hunt the rarest editions in chests, and fly on their wiiings. Four cans too fast, and your heart gives out.

Running Paper? The plugin has its own page: Red Bull for Paper.

What you get

🥫 26 real cans: Original, Sugarfree, Zero, and the Editions from Red to Spring, each with its own buffs, a flavour, and a slogan.
🧪 A chemistry chain: cows drop bull bile, a brewing stand turns it into crude taurine, a furnace evaporates that into taurine, and a crafting table fills an empty can.
🗺️ Cans to find: most Editions also turn up in chests of their biomes, and four legends turn up nowhere else. A wandering trader brings a can or two, and now and then your fishing rod pulls one out of the water.
🪽 Real wiiings: a can with wings launches you and lets you glide like an elytra, from 16 seconds to over a minute.
💓 A price for it: caffeine builds up. Two cans make you jittery, three bring a crash, and the fourth within two minutes kills you. Caffeine also keeps you out of bed.
📖 A collection: /redbull shows every can you have held and question marks for the rest.
🏆 Six advancements in a Red Bull tab: Gives You Wings, Sugar Pit, On the Edge, Legend, and Collector.
🌍 Every player reads their own language: English, Russian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese, in the resource pack the plugin sends on join or inside the mods.
🤖 Allay knows the recipes: with Allay, the AI helper, on the server, ask /ask how do I make a Cherry Edition? and it answers from Red Bull itself, on Paper, Fabric, and NeoForge. Without Allay nothing changes.

How to make a can

The way to a can: bile from a cow, the brewing stand, the furnace, and the crafting table

Every Red Bull recipe at a crafting table, one after another

Bull bile. An adult cow or mooshroom you kill drops it with a 5% chance, 2% more per level of Looting.
Crude taurine. Brew bull bile into water bottles: one bile, three bottles.
Taurine. Smelt crude taurine in a furnace.
An empty can. Four iron nuggets and a copper nugget make one.
The can. Fill it at a crafting table with two taurine, a dye, two of its flavour, a water bottle, and two sugar, or two honeycombs for a sugarfree can. Every recipe sits in your recipe book.

The cans

Every can carries the same caffeine, as the real ones do; they differ in buffs and wings. A can is harder to make than a potion, so its buffs last longer: 8 minutes for the crafted ones, 12 for the Editions you also find in chests, and 16 for the legends with a yellow name like a bottle o’ enchanting. Healing lasts 16 seconds at most and Strength II 3 minutes, or nobody could die. A can with sugar also feeds you a little. Chests hold a can with a 10% chance unless the table says otherwise.

Where else cans come from

A wandering trader brings one or two cans: a crafted one for 6 emeralds, an Edition you also find in chests for 10. Legends are never for sale.
Fishing: about one junk catch in ten is a can, empty or crumpled, of any flavour. Smelt the crumpled ones back into iron.

Advancements

A Red Bull tab joins your advancements with your first can:

Advancement	How
Gives You Wings	Glide on the wings of a can
Sugar Pit	Sink into a sugar pit when a can’s buffs run out
On the Edge	Have 90 caffeine or more, and live
Legend	Find Ruby, Summer, Glacier, or Spring
Collector	Hold every one of the 26 cans

Your collection

Type /redbull to open your collection: every can you have ever held, crafted, found, or been given, and an empty can with question marks for the rest. The title counts how many of the 26 you have. Admins see every can and ingredient there and take one with a click, or a stack with Shift.

Wiiings

A can with wings throws you upward as you finish it. Jump while in the air, and you glide as with an elytra for as many seconds as the can gives. Feathers trail behind you as you fly. If the wings run out in the air, Slow Falling sets you down gently.

The can gives you the Wings effect, with its icon and timer among your other effects. Elytra you wear don’t wear out while it carries you.

Crumpled cans

Every can you finish leaves a crumpled can in its own colours. They stack to 64, and a furnace melts each back into two iron nuggets, twice as fast in a blast furnace. Half the iron comes back, so two crumpled cans and a copper nugget make a new empty can.

Sugar or sugarfree

A can with sugar is cheaper and feeds you a little (two hunger points), but sugar burns out: when its buffs end, you sink into a sugar pit, Hunger I for 30 seconds and Slowness I for 15, and the bar above your hotbar says so in gold. A sugarfree can costs two honeycombs, feeds nothing, and leaves no pit, and too much caffeine from it brings no crash either. The caffeine is the same, and so is the death above 100.

Caffeine

Each can adds 30 caffeine, and caffeine wears off by one point every six seconds you play.

Caffeine	What happens
0–49	Nothing.
50–74	Jitters: you get hungry faster and hear your heart now and then.
75–100	The crash, after a can with sugar: when its buffs end, three minutes at most, Slowness II and Weakness I follow for a minute. A sugarfree can doesn’t crash. Your heart pounds.
Over 100	Your heart gives out. No totem saves you.

Any caffeine at all keeps you out of bed. The Caffeine effect shows your stage as its level and the time until it wears off.

A bucket of milk takes 20 caffeine away. Death takes all of it. Bull bile and crude taurine are drinkable too, but you won’t like them, and both within a minute put you in bull mode.

Get started

Fabric. Install the Fabric file with Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin for Minecraft 26.3, on the client and on the server.

NeoForge. Install the NeoForge file for NeoForge 26.3, on the client and on the server. It needs nothing else.

The mod needs no resource pack: its textures and languages are inside. Its settings live in config/redbull.toml.

Then type /redbull, take a can, and drink it. /redbull give <item> [player] [amount] and /redbull caffeine [player] need operator rights.
