How to brew potions

  • The brewing stand works on blaze powder. One blaze powder fuels twenty brewing operations. The brewing stand cannot run without fuel.
  • Three bottles at once. One ingredient brews all three bottles at once, so filling all three slots uses ingredients more efficiently.
  • Most brewing recipes start with an Awkward Potion: water and nether wart. Mundane and Thick Potions are dead ends in Java brewing.
  • Redstone extends duration; glowstone increases potency. Choose one. The second modifier replaces the first: if a potion is strengthened, its duration cannot be extended, and vice versa.
  • Instant effects have no duration. Healing and Harming are instant effects, so they have stronger variants but no extended-duration variants.
  • Gunpowder makes a splash potion; dragon's breath turns it into a lingering potion. Splash potions use the drinkable potion's duration, reduced by distance from the impact. Lingering potion effects last one quarter as long.
  • To craft tipped arrows, place eight arrows around a lingering potion. This produces eight tipped arrows with one-eighth of the potion effect's duration.
  • Luck potions do not exist at the stand. It is available through Creative mode and commands, but has no brewing recipe.

Durations and recipes have been verified against the Minecraft Wiki and apply to Java Edition. To create a potion not present in the game with any effects and duration, you can use potion generator..

Frequently asked questions

Where does potion brewing begin

With nether wart: water plus nether wart. From this, almost everything else is brewed — only one exception in the recipe.

What do redstone and glowstone do?

Redstone extends duration; glowstone increases potency. They cannot be combined: applying one replaces the other.

Why doesn't a potion extend?

Instant potions have no duration to extend, so redstone does not affect them. Glowstone dust increases their strength.
