All Potions Brewing Guide in Minecraft
Successfully brewing any potion in Minecraft requires some basic tools and ingredients:
- Brewing Stand - Performs potion brewing
- Blaze Powder - Fuels the Brewing Stand
- Glass Bottles - Holds potions
- Water Buckets - Fills bottles to produce Water Bottles, the potion base
- Nether Wart - Initiates almost all potion recipes
Now to start crafting base potions, you can place up to 3 Glass Bottles filled with Water Bottles into the Brewing Stand's bottom slots and fuel the stand with Blaze Powder. Add Nether Wart to the top slot to convert Water Bottles into Awkward Potions, the base for most potion recipes.
Wait for brewing to complete, then add an effect ingredient to brew the potions. Here is the complete Potion Brewing Guide in Minecraft:
