FAQ
Why won’t my brewing stand brew anything?
It needs blaze powder as fuel, and you must use water bottles in the bottom slots. Most potions start with Nether Wart to make an Awkward Potion.
How do I make tipped arrows?
Brew a Lingering Potion first (Splash + Dragon’s Breath), then craft it with arrows—tipped arrows aren’t brewed directly in the stand.
