Whether it is for fun or to equip themselves better, Minecraft players are constantly upgrading their weapons and armor. However, the majority of them often forget how useful potions can be in situations that involve facing a tough opponent. Part of the reason these items are neglected so often is that brewing them is not easy.
However, with the help of redstone, an automatic potion brewer can be set up in Minecraft. Here’s how to build that.
Building a potion brewer in Minecraft
Items required for the contraption
Here are the items you’ll need to make the redstone contraption:
- 84 solid blocks
- 37 redstone torch
- 27 hopper
- 19 comparators
- 18 redstone lamps
- 18 item frames
- 16 droppers
- 16 buttons
- 16 stairs
- 16 signs
- 4 chests
- 8 glass
- 3 water buckets
- 2 barrels
- 2 redstone dust
- 2 levers
- 1 brew stand
- 1 soul sand
- 1 sticky piston
Process of making automatic brewer
Before you start building, you need to find the right spot for the automatic potion brewer. Any flat surface will work in this case. Here are the steps you’ll need to follow to create the contraption:

<p><strong>Step 3</strong>: Place two <a href=)
double chests on the hoppers as shown in the image above, and place an item frame on each chest.

<p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Leaving a block’s gap, place a solid block right below the third hopper. Above that block, position a <a href=)
dropper facing up. On the side of the hopper, place a single stair and then put a button below it. A sign also needs to go on top of the solid block, on which you can write the name of the item the dropper contains.

<p><strong>Step 3</strong>: Create an indicator system using three solid blocks, a comparator, and redstone torches, as shown in the image above.</p>
<p>Your Minecraft automatic potion brewer is now complete. However, in its current state, the contraption can only brew a single item. To be able to make all the <a href=)
potions — including the upgraded ones — you have to follow the previous steps and build the dropper-hopper system sixteen times.
How to use the contraption
Once you have placed different brewing ingredients in each dropper, you simply need to push the button below the stairs of the different droppers. These ingredients will then be added to the brewing stand, and the resulting potion will be brewed.
