Potions are one of the most intriguing parts of Minecraft. Surprisingly, only a few players use them in the game, even though they can be beneficial in many situations.
Players can use a brewing stand to create potions, but doing so isn’t that simple. Acquiring a brewing stand can be a hassle since blaze rods are needed to craft one.
Potions in Minecraft 1.19
The much-awaited Minecraft 1.19: The Wild Update has been released, and many players have already shifted to the newer version. Although the update introduced quite a few changes and additions, potions have stayed the same.

<p>Before players can start brewing up potions, they need a brewing stand. It can be crafted by placing a blaze rod and three cobblestone blocks on the crafting table. <a href=)
Blaze rods are rare items that can only be acquired by slaying Blazes in The Nether.
Most recipes include an awkward potion. and to brew one, players need the following items:
</figcaption></figure>
<ul>
<li>Blaze powder: Crafted using blaze rods.</li>
<li>Water bottle: Empty glass bottles can be filled with water by pressing the use button while aiming at a water source with the bottle equipped. Players can craft empty bottles using three glass blocks.</li>
<li>Nether wart: It can be obtained from fortresses with soul sand gardens around stairwells.</li>
</ul>
<p>An awkward potion can be created with these items placed in a <a href=)
brewing stand. Once the awkward potion is ready, players can use a secondary item with it in the brewing stand to get other types of potions.
Here’s what players can brew using awkward potions and a secondary ingredient:
- Potion of Healing: Glistering melon slice
- Potion of Fire Resistance: Magma cream
- Potion of Regeneration: Ghast tear
- Potion of Strength: Blaze powder
- Potion of Swiftness: Sugar
- Potion of Night Vision: Golden Carrot
- Potion of Water Breathing: Pufferfish
- Potion of Leaping: Rabbit’s foot
- Potion of Slow Falling: Phantom Membrane
- Potion of Poison: Spider eye
- Potion of the Turtle Master: Turtle Shell
A handful of other potions require a different base potion or just a water bottle, these include
- Potion of Invisibility: Fermented spider eye + Potion of Night Vision as the base potion
- Potion of Weakness: Fermented spider eye + Water bottle
- Potion of Harming: Fermented spider eye + Potion of Healing and Poison as two base potions
- Potion of Slowness: Fermented spider eye + Potion of Swiftness and Potion of Leaping
Enhancing and extending potions in Minecraft
</figcaption></figure>
<p>Many Minecraft players are unaware that <a href=)
potions can be improved using redstone or glowstone dust. The potion’s duration can be increased by placing redstone dust on the brewing stand with a potion.
Doing the same with glowstone dust can make the potion more impactful by making them stronger. For example, a Potion of Swiftness has a Speed I status effect, and using glowstone with it gives Speed II, which is significantly quicker. It is worth noting that not all potions can be extended or enhanced.
Splash and Lingering potions
</figcaption></figure>
<p>Potion effects remain unchanged when converted to their splash or lingering variants. Only how they are used is changed. A splash potion is created when gunpowder is placed on a brewing stand with a regular potion.</p>
<p>Players can throw splash potions, and all mobs or players close to the exploding potion acquire status effects from it. If the player places Dragon’s Breath with a splash potion on the brewing stand, they get a lingering potion from it.</p>
<p>These can also be thrown, and on the impact, they form a cloud. Any mob or player that walks into it acquires the corresponding effect.</p>
