How to Make Potions in Minecraft: A Simple Guide

Last updated
Ever wondered how to brew up some magic in Minecraft? Making potions is an exciting part of the game that allows you to add special effects to your gameplay. Let’s dive into how you can start creating your own potions!
So, how exactly do you make potions in Minecraft? If that question has been stirring in your mind, you’re in the right place to find out.
Simple Steps to Brew Potions
First up, you’ll need a Brewing Stand. You can make one using a Blaze Rod and three Cobblestones. Place the Blaze Rod in the middle of the crafting table and the Cobblestones in the bottom row. Voila, you have your Brewing Stand!
Next, gather some water bottles by filling glass bottles at a water source. Place the water bottles in the Brewing Stand, and then the fun begins. Add a Nether Wart to create an Awkward Potion – this is your base potion to which you’ll add various ingredients for different effects.
Choosing Your Potion Ingredients
Each potion requires specific ingredients. Want to jump higher? Add a Rabbit’s Foot to your Awkward Potion to get a Potion of Leaping. Feeling fiery? Blaze Powder will give you a Potion of Strength. The possibilities are endless, with ingredients like Ghast Tears, Magma Cream, and Glistering Melons making up your potion-making toolkit.
Remember, adding Redstone can extend the potion’s duration, while Glowstone enhances its effect. If you want to turn a potion into a splash potion, add Gunpowder. This lets you throw the potion at targets!
