How to Get Potions

Brew Potions at a Brewing Stand

While individual potions may be obtained in other ways, such as drops from Witches, or found as treasures in chests, brewing is the most reliable way to obtain any type of potion.

How to Brew Potions

Obtain Brewing Equipment

Before you can begin brewing your own potions, you will need a handful of items and equipment that are necessary to brew potions. These include the following:

Item / Equipment	Use
Brewing Stand	Handles the actual brewing.
Blaze Powder	Fuels the brewing stand.
Nether Wart	Used as a base ingredient for most potions.
Glass Bottle	Container for Potions.
Water Bucket or other Water Source	Used to fill up Glass Bottles to turn them into Water Bottles. Required as a starting point for all potions.

Once you have these items and equipment ready, you can start out by preparing the base for each potion.

Prepare Base Potions

Each step of the Brewing process will require the Brewing Stand and fuel in the form of Blaze Powder. To begin brewing your first potions, start by adding up to 3 Water Bottles at the bottom of the Brewing Stand. Each Water Bottle can become its own potion.

With the set-up complete, almost every potion starts by brewing a Nether Wart into the Water Bottles. Place a Nether Wart at the top of the Brewing Stand and wait until it gets brewed into the Water Bottle creating an Awkward Potion.

Add an Effect Ingredient

Once the Awkward Potion is ready, you may now brew in an effect ingredient that will determine the buffs the potion will provide. Below is a list of Ingredients and the different effects each potion will produce.

Ingredient	Effect	Resulting Potion
Sugar	Speed	Potion of Swiftness
Rabbit's Foot	Jump Boost	Potion of Leaping
Glistering Melon	Instant Health	Potion of Healing
Spider Eye	Poison	Potion of Poison
Pufferfish	Water Breathing	Potion of Water Breathing
Magma Cream	Fire Resistance	Potion of Fire Resistance
Golden Carrot	Night Vision	Potion of Night Vision
Blaze Powder	Strength	Potion of Strength
Ghast Tear	Regeneration	Potion of Regeneration
Turtle Shell	Slowness, Resistance	Potion of the Turtle Master
Phantom Membrane	Slow Falling	Potion of Slow Falling

Add an Enhancer Ingredient

After the effect ingredient is brewed into the Awkward Potion, you should now have an Effect Potion. Drinking it will buff (or debuff) your character with its effect.

However, enhancer ingredients can further alter the effects of the Effect Potion. Learning to take advantage of these enhancers will bring your potions to a whole new level.

Ingredient	Enhancement
Redstone Dust	Extends the duration of a Potion's effects. Cannot be used with Glowstone Dust.
Glowstone Dust	Improves the effect of a Potion. Cannot be used with Redstone Dust.
Fermented Spider Eye	Corrupts the effect of a Potion.
Gunpowder	Converts a Potion into a Splash Potion. Splash Potions are thrown instead of drunk and provide the effect to every mob nearby.
Dragon's Breath	Converts a Splash Potion into a Lingering Potion. Lingering Potions allow a Splash Potion's effects to linger where it was thrown, allowing for more players/mobs to be affected.
