Yeast ‘n Feast adds six base mead varieties brewed in the Keg, split across three flavour categories. Each category grants a different mob effect when you drink the mead. One additional compat mead is available if you have the Hexalia mod installed. All meads stack to 8, use the drink animation, and return an empty Tankard to your inventory when consumed.

Sweet meads

Sweet meads grant Resistance II for 6 minutes, reducing all incoming damage. This is the longest-lasting and most broadly defensive buff in the mead lineup.

Honey Mead

Brewed with honey-based ingredients. A straightforward sweet mead and a natural first brew for players who have already gathered honeycomb or honey bottles.

Molasses Mead

Brewed with molasses. Molasses is a food item in its own right, so you may already have some on hand from cooking recipes.
Best for: players exploring dangerous biomes, fighting bosses, or taking sustained damage. Six full minutes of Resistance II is a significant defensive window.

Sour meads

Sour meads grant Strength II for 6 minutes, increasing melee damage output. They share the same duration as Sweet meads, making them equally efficient for their purpose.

Sour Mead

The base sour mead. Brewed from tart or acidic ingredients. Straightforward to craft and the most accessible of the Sour category.

Thornberry Mead

Brewed using thornberries. Thornberries are a forageable ingredient found in the world, so availability depends on your biome and exploration progress.
Best for: combat-focused players, raid farming, mob grinders, or any situation where dealing more melee damage is the priority. Combine with armour and enchantments for maximum output.

Floral meads

Floral meads grant Regeneration II for 4 minutes, rapidly restoring health over time. The duration is shorter than Sweet and Sour meads, but Regeneration II heals quickly enough that 4 minutes is usually more than sufficient.

Blossom Mead

Brewed from floral ingredients. The name reflects its botanical character — look for flower-type items as its brewing components.

Amber Mead

A richer floral variety, brewed from amber-hued ingredients. Identical effect to Blossom Mead.
Best for: recovering after combat, exploring without burning through food, or topping up health mid-dungeon without spending a full meal. Regeneration II works well alongside Resistance II from a Sweet mead.

The Tankard

Every mead uses the Tankard as its container item. When you drink any mead, one Tankard is returned to your inventory — the same way glass bottles work with potions. You need a Tankard loaded in the Keg’s tankard slot to brew a batch, and you recover it (empty) after drinking.
Keep at least one Tankard available to start your first brew. Once you have a mead in hand, drinking it returns the Tankard so you can reload the Keg for the next batch.

Mod compatibility: Frostgale Mead

If you have the Hexalia mod installed, a seventh mead becomes available:
  • Frostgale Mead — a Sweet-category mead granting Resistance II for 6:00, the same effect as Honey Mead and Molasses Mead. Its brewing ingredients come from Hexalia content.
See the Hexalia compatibility page for details on the ingredients and recipe.

Choosing your mead

Drink a Sweet mead (Honey or Molasses) before engaging in prolonged fights. Resistance II for 6 minutes significantly reduces the damage you take, letting you stay in combat longer without retreating to eat.

Advancement chain for completionists

Brewing all meads across all three categories completes the core brewing advancement chain.
Brew all Sweet Meads — Honey Mead and Molasses Mead. (Frostgale Mead from Hexalia is not required.)
Brew all Sour Meads — Sour Mead and Thornberry Mead.
Brew all Floral Meads — Blossom Mead and Amber Mead.
Advancements are awarded when the mead exits the Keg output slot — not when you drink it. You can collect the mead into a chest to tick the advancement without consuming it immediately.
