Every effect potion in Minecraft at a glance: the ingredient you add to an Awkward Potion, the base duration, and the extended (+Redstone) and Level II (+Glowstone) variants. For copyable /give commands and splash / lingering / tipped-arrow forms, use the interactive brewing chart.

Brewing modifiers

These ingredients don't make a new effect — they change duration, power, or form. They work on almost any potion.

Nether Wart	Water Bottle → Awkward Potion (the brewing base)
Redstone Dust	Extends duration (Long variant)
Glowstone Dust	Upgrades to Level II (stronger)
Gunpowder	Turns a potion into a throwable Splash Potion
Dragon's Breath	Turns a Splash Potion into a Lingering Potion
Fermented Spider Eye	Corrupts a potion into its opposite (e.g. Healing → Harming)

FAQ

What is the base potion for most recipes?

The Awkward Potion. Brew a Water Bottle with Nether Wart to make it — almost every effect potion starts from an Awkward Potion plus one more ingredient.

How do I make a potion last longer?

Add Redstone Dust. It extends the duration (the 'Long' column in the chart). Redstone and Glowstone are mutually exclusive — a potion can be Long or Level II, not both.

How do I make a stronger potion?

Add Glowstone Dust to upgrade a potion to Level II (the 'II' column). This boosts the effect's power but usually shortens the duration.

How do I make a splash or lingering potion?

Brew Gunpowder into any potion to make a Splash Potion you can throw. Brew Dragon's Breath into a Splash Potion to make a Lingering Potion that leaves an effect cloud.
