The mug is a placeable item which can hold many different kinds of drinks. To fill them with a drink, right click on the tap of a barrel of the drink that you want to fill the mug with and then either place it down on a solid block or drink it by holding down right click.
Right clicking on a placed mug will make you drink it's contents instantly. Also, you can right-click an empty vessel with a full one in your hand, or vice versa to transport the fluids to and from each other.
Mugs can be found in many structures (such as the mead halls and taverns) or bought from traders, especially bartenders.
Wooden mugs[]
The method of crafting mugs is by putting two tin ingots and any type of wood plank in a vertical row.
Ceramic mugs[]
The way to make ceramic mugs is by first crafting clay mugs from two tin ingots and a lump of clay in a vertical row.
Then smelt them in an ordinary furnace to harden them. The smelting doesn't work in a Hobbit oven, however you can smelt them in a Dwarven forge.
History[]
Before Public Beta 29, only the current wooden mugs existed (named 'mug'), but they were crafted by using the clay recipe and then smelting. Also before this update was a very major exploit that allowed the player to duplicate mugs, and as mugs were bought by traders, get infinite coins.
