FAQ
How do you make potions in Minecraft?
Place a Brewing Stand, fill the fuel slot with Blaze Powder, put up to 3 Water Bottles in the bottom slots, and add an ingredient in the top slot. The most common starting recipe is Water Bottle + Nether Wart, which produces Awkward Potion — the base for nearly every effect potion.
What does an Awkward Potion do?
Awkward Potion has no effect on its own. It's the brewing base — adding a second ingredient (sugar, magma cream, glistering melon slice, etc.) converts it into an effect potion. Brew Water Bottle + Nether Wart to make one.
How do you make a Splash Potion?
Brew Gunpowder into any potion. Splash Potions can be thrown and affect any entity in their splash radius.
How do you make a Lingering Potion?
Brew Dragon's Breath into a Splash Potion. Lingering Potions leave a cloud on impact that applies the effect to anyone who walks through it.
What ingredient extends a potion?
Redstone Dust extends a potion's duration (the resulting potion ID is prefixed with `long_`). Glowstone Dust upgrades a potion to level II (prefix `strong_`). The two are mutually exclusive — a potion can be long OR strong, not both.
How do you brew a Potion of Weakness?
Add a Fermented Spider Eye directly to a Water Bottle — no Awkward Potion needed. This is the only effect potion brewed straight from a water bottle in vanilla.
