The Bartender » A Potion Drinks Bar

A major update bringing native brewing, player trading, tavern management and an expanded sanity system! Performance & Compatibility • Updated for Java 25 and Minecraft 26.1.2+. • Added Folia-compatible scheduling. • Replaced frequent player-data YAML saves with cached data and background database writes. • Added SQLite, MySQL and MariaDB storage support. • Added manual legacy player-data migration using /bar convert. Brewing & Player Market • Added 12 native brewing recipes with ingredients, maturation times and effects. • Optional extra ingredients let players create variations of base recipes. • Added a brewing GUI for browsing recipes and mixing drinks. • Players can register barrels and sell their own brews. • Browse the market anywhere; purchasing requires a nearby registered market barrel. • Purchased bottles and cancelled listings can be collected from the market inbox. • Seller earnings remain available until withdrawn. • BreweryX brews are supported alongside native Bartender drinks. • Added readable maturity times and hidden vanilla “No Effects” tooltips. Sanity & Taverns • Expanded low-sanity effects, including longer nausea and blackout-style blindness. • Added configurable chat slurring. • Added tavern regions, patron progression and rewards. • Taverns support fixed or percentage shop-price adjustments. • Added configurable random money loss during tavern visits, with increasing chances over time. • Tavern commands now follow /bar tavern <name> <action>, after creating one with /bar tavern create <name>. Menus & Commands • /bar opens a navigation menu. • /bar shop opens the original drink shop. • Added menus for brewing, the player market, taverns and NPC management. • Menu appearance is configurable in config.yml. • Added menu-opening, barrel-opening and button-click sounds. • Improved help pages with hover explanations and clickable command suggestions. • /bar npc now displays help instead of creating an NPC. • Recipes are available through the brewing GUI. PlaceholderAPI • %bartender_sanity% - Player’s current sanity. • %bartender_maxsanity% - Configured maximum sanity. • %bartender_currency% - Configured currency symbol. • %bartender_taverns% - Number of configured taverns in the player’s world. • %bartender_market% - Number of bottles currently available in the player market. • %bartender_market_value% - Combined price of available market listings, formatted to two decimal places without a currency symbol.

Back up your plugin data before updating and restart the server after replacing the JAR. Existing configuration files are preserved. Merge the new menu settings from config.yml and additional recipes from brewing.yml to use and customize the new content. For legacy YAML player data, run /bar convert to preview the migration, then /bar convert confirm to import it. The original YAML is retained. Vault or ServiceIO and a compatible economy provider are required. Citizens, PlaceholderAPI, BreweryX and WorldGuard integrations are optional.
