Potions were introduced along with the Nether region in Minecraft. Unlike crafting or enchanting objects that require specific recipes, all potions use the same base ingredients that you can build upon for various effects. Here’s how to make potions in Minecraft.
How to Create Potions in Minecraft
Here are the materials you will need to start brewing potions in Minecraft.
- Brewing stand – Brewing stands can be both made and found in Minecraft. You can make them with three cobblestones, one blaze rod, and a crafting table. Alternatively, you can use the brewing stands that automatically respawn in villages and end ships.
- Cauldron – The cauldron is for storing water. It can hold the equivalent of three water bottles. All potions need water.
- Blaze Powder – Blaze powder fuels the Brewing Stand, and is made from Blaze rods in the Crafting Table. One Blaze Rod creates two Blaze Powder items.
- Glass Bottle – You’ll need a glass bottle to collect water as well as store the potion once it’s ready.
In order to make Potions in Minecraft, you’ll have to open up the Brewing Stand and add in the ingredients. There’s a slot for a Base Ingredient, Secondary Ingredient, and Elemental Ingredient.
How to Make Potion of Invisibility
The Potion of Invisibility is one of the easiest potions to make in Minecraft and is definitely a sought-after potion since it grants the player three minutes of complete invisibility. Here’s how to make it:
- Open the Brewing Stand.
- Add Blaze Powder in the left-most box to activate the Brewing Stand.
- You will need the Potion of Night Vision to make this potion. Place it in any of the bottom boxes.
- Place one Fermented Spider’s Eye in the top box.
- The brewing process will start and you will have one Potion of Invisibility to use in the game. You can add it to your inventory or consume it right away.
Most potions are made to be consumed by the player themself. You can consume a potion by adding it to your Hotbar and then drinking it. Splash potions allow you to attack a mob or player by throwing the potion on them to deal damage.
