About Minecraft Potion Brewing

Potion brewing is a complex but rewarding mechanic in Minecraft that allows players to create magical concoctions with various effects. These potions can provide buffs like increased strength, speed, or healing, or they can be used offensively against enemies.

Brewing Basics

To start brewing potions, you'll need a brewing stand, which is crafted using 1 blaze rod and 3 cobblestone blocks. The brewing stand must be powered with blaze powder to function. You'll also need glass bottles filled with water as the base for all potions.

Potion Types

There are three main types of potions in Minecraft:

  • Normal Potions: These are consumed by the player to apply effects to themselves.
  • Splash Potions: Created by adding gunpowder to a normal potion, these can be thrown to affect multiple entities in an area.
  • Lingering Potions: Created by adding dragon's breath to a splash potion, these create a cloud of effect that lasts for a short time.

Modifiers

You can modify potions with the following ingredients:

  • Redstone Dust: Extends the duration of a potion's effects.
  • Glowstone Dust: Enhances (increases the level of) a potion's effects, but typically reduces duration.
  • Fermented Spider Eye: Corrupts a potion, generally reversing or changing its effects.

Use our comprehensive brewing guide above to learn how to create every potion in Minecraft. Each potion page includes detailed information about effects, durations, and step-by-step brewing instructions.
