Customizing Brewing Recipes and Loot with Datapacks

One directly usable feature Deltabox Lib Mod brings to survival worlds and modpacks is data-oriented brewing, alongside standard data-driven recipes and loot tables for the mods it supports.

How Data-Oriented Brewing Works

In vanilla Minecraft, brewing stand recipes cannot normally be altered through standard world datapacks. Deltabox Lib Mod makes brewing recipes data-oriented, meaning potion and brewing recipes from supported mods—and custom ones using its format—are read as data files just like crafting recipes and loot tables.

Applying a Custom Datapack to Your World

If you are configuring a survival world or adjusting progression for mods powered by Deltabox Lib Mod, you can override or add recipes and loot tables through a datapack:

1. Open Minecraft, select your singleplayer world, click Edit, and choose Open World Folder.

2. Open the datapacks folder inside that world directory.

3. Inspect the data folder structure inside your dependent mod's .jar file (using any archive viewer) to see the exact file paths and formatting used for its recipes, brewing recipes, and loot tables.

4. Place your custom datapack folder or .zip matching that structure into the world's datapacks folder.

5. Load the world and run /reload (if cheats are enabled) or re-enter the world from the title screen, then test your updated outcomes directly at a Brewing Stand or crafting table.
