Let's Do HerbalBrews Kettle Recipes and the Block Set
This guide covers where HerbalBrews' 33 recipes sit and what the block-heavy split means for using the mod.
The recipe list in full
- Crafting — 21 recipes
- Kettle Brewing — 9
- Cauldron Brewing — 1
- Smithing Transform — 1
- Smoking — 1
Thirty-three recipes total, identical on both builds. That is small enough to read in one sitting, which is the fastest way to understand a mod this size.
Crafting is mostly furniture
Twenty-one crafting recipes in a mod with 30 blocks tells you most of that category is the block set rather than food. The Let's Do mods consistently pair a short production chain with a broad themed palette, and HerbalBrews follows the pattern.
Nine drinks
The Kettle Brewing category is the reason to install the mod. Nine recipes is a modest list, but each is a distinct tea rather than a variant, so the category is denser in content than its count suggests.
Two single-recipe categories
Cauldron Brewing and Smithing Transform hold one recipe each. Single-entry categories are easy to miss and worth checking deliberately — a player who assumes everything happens in the kettle will not find them.
Fifteen items
30 blocks against 15 items across 45 pages. The items are the herbs and the finished drinks; the blocks are the kettle, the fittings and the decorative set.
Nothing is gated
No worldgen structures, no unlocks, no tiers. Every recipe is available as soon as you have its ingredients, which for a herb mod means planting rather than exploring.
Version parity
1.1.3 on NeoForge (1.21.1) and 1.0.12 on Forge (1.20.1), with identical recipe counts in every category. Nothing about this mod is version-specific.
How to approach a mod this size
Thirty-three recipes is small enough that browsing beats planning. Read the crafting list, build the kettle, and work through its nine drinks — that is the entire mod, and there is no order it needs to be done in.
Why the block-heavy split matters
Thirty blocks against fifteen items is unusual for a drinks mod, and it is the Let's Do family's signature: the production chain is short, but the themed furniture and fittings are broad enough to decorate a whole room around it. If you install this expecting only tea, you will end up building a tea house.
Version parity
1.1.3 on NeoForge (1.21.1) and 1.0.12 on Forge (1.20.1). Despite the gap in version numbers, every recipe category carries an identical count, so nothing here is version-specific.
