BreweryX vs TheBrewingProject

BreweryX is more tested, as it’s a 10-year-old project, but its rewrite, TBP, has much cleaner code, more advanced features and maintenance priority

TBP supports custom multiblock structures as distilleries where BreweryX only allowed regular brewing stands to be used.
TBP doesn’t copy every small feature from BreweryX to reduce the feature bloat, but if you need a specific thing, reach out to us, and we will consider it
TBP’s brew creation is a bit less forgiving (customizable) so, on default settings, you can no longer make a beer with an entire stack of wheat if all other steps are ok
While the time it takes to distill something is specified per recipe in BreweryX, in TBP, this is specified per distillery, so you can have faster and slower distilleries
BreweryX encrypts its data the will-deter-average-people way, while TBP encrypts its data the don’t-even-try-to-decrypt-that way and supports easy encryption-key rotation

The distillery is now its own multiblock structure, made up of three decorated pots and three bamboo fences
You may define your own custom multiblock structures to be used as barrels or distilleries, by using schematics
An event system allows fine-tuning what drinks cause what after effects + you may create your own custom events
You can introduce your own modifiers instead of- or in addition to alcohol, toxins and alcohol-addiction/tolerance
The order of steps in a recipe is not pre-defined, so you could do distill➜age➜cook➜cook➜age➜distill for example
You can freely choose the output material of a potion, so a haste potion can look like a diamond pickaxe if you wish
Group ingredients together to, for example, allow any kind of grass, with dried grass leading to lower drink quality
A new mix step that is basically the same as cook, but without a heat source underneath the cauldron
The cook and mix steps can require a specific substance in the cauldron (water/lava/snow)
