instantbrew
InstantBrew is a lightweight Paper / Spigot / Folia plugin that lets you control how fast brewing stands brew on your server. You can set how long each brew takes.
InstantBrew
Lightweight control over brewing stands: how fast potions brew, optional infinite blaze-powder fuel, and smarter shift-clicking for blaze powder. Config hot-reloads—no server restart.
Summary
InstantBrew runs on Paper, Spigot, and Folia (Minecraft 1.21+). Tune brew-delay-ticks from instant to any delay you want, optionally stop blaze powder from being consumed while keeping the fuel bar full, and choose whether shift-click places blaze powder in the ingredient slot. Use /instantbrew reload after editing config.yml.
Showcase
Instant brewing and infinite blaze powder

With the default near-instant delay, potions finish as soon as you add an ingredient. Enable blaze-powder-infinite so the fuel bar stays full and blaze powder is not consumed.
Configurable brew delay
Set brew-delay-ticks for a slower brew (e.g. 20 = 1 second, 200 = 10 seconds). The brewing arrow animates over that time before potions complete.
Features
- Configurable brew delay — Ticks until brew completes (
0≈ instant,20= 1 second) - Infinite blaze powder — Optional: full fuel bar, no powder consumption
- Shift-click to ingredient — Optional: shift-click blaze powder into the ingredient slot instead of fuel
