In this piece, I will walk you through the steps of creating every potion in Minecraft while also imparting my own personal advice and strategies. So, gather your brewing stand and let us begin our journey!
Basic Brewing Ingredients
Before we dive into the individual recipes, let’s go over the basic ingredients you’ll need for brewing potions in Minecraft:
Brewing Stand: This is the essential tool for brewing potions. You can craft it using 3 cobblestones and a blaze rod.Glass Bottles: These are used to contain the potions. You’ll need 3 glass blocks to craft 3 bottles.Nether Wart: This is the key ingredient for brewing. Nether wart can be found in Nether fortresses or traded with villagers.Blaze Powder: To power the brewing stand, you’ll need blaze powder. Blaze rods dropped by blazes can be crafted into blaze powder.Water Bottles: Fill glass bottles with water by right-clicking on a water source block.
Step-by-Step Brewing Process
Now that we have all the necessary ingredients, let’s dive into the step-by-step brewing process:
1. Brewing Stand Setup
Place the brewing stand on the ground and right-click on it to open the brewing interface. You’ll see three slots: one for the ingredient, one for a water bottle, and three for finished potions.
2. Adding Nether Wart
Now it’s time to add the Nether wart to kickstart the brewing process. Place one Nether wart into the ingredient slot of the brewing stand. The Nether wart will disappear, and you’ll see bubbles rising from the brewing stand.
3. Brewing Base Potions
After the Nether wart has done its magic, it’s time to add a water bottle to create a base potion. Place a glass bottle filled with water into the water bottle slot. Wait for the brewing progress bar to fill up, and you’ll see an Awkward Potion appear in one of the output slots.
4. Adding Secondary Ingredients
Now comes the fun part – adding secondary ingredients to create specific potions. Depending on which potion you want to brew, you’ll need different ingredients. Here are a few examples:
Potion of Healing
Add a Glistering Melon Slice to the Awkward Potion. You can craft a Glistering Melon Slice by surrounding a melon slice with eight gold nuggets in a crafting table.
Potion of Night Vision
Add a Golden Carrot to the Awkward Potion. You can craft a Golden Carrot by surrounding a carrot with eight gold nuggets in a crafting table.
Potion of Strength
Add Blaze Powder to the Awkward Potion. This will enhance your melee damage. Blaze Powder is obtained by crafting a Blaze Rod dropped by blazes.
5. Brewing Time
Once you’ve added the secondary ingredient, wait for the brewing progress bar to fill up again. The output slot will now contain your desired potion.
