Potions and How to Brew Potions in Minecraft
In Minecraft you can brew potions and use them on your character or on your enemies. There are a range of potions available for you to brew such as healing potion, strength enhancers, invisibility potion, night vision potion, elemental cures and much more. Brewing a Minecraft potion is not that complicated. These potions usually need a base ingredient along with a modifier to enhance the potion’s specific qualities.
To a brew a potion you will need:
- A cauldron
- A water bottle
- Some glass bottles which will contain your potions
- A brewing stand for brewing potions
- Blaze powder for fueling your brewing stand
Base ingredients are the first ingredient that you will add to the brewing stand. For every potion you brew you will need a base ingredient to determine the kind of potion that you want to brew. For example, using a Nether Wart as a base ingredient will give you Awkward potion, using Fermented Spider Eye will give you potion of weakness, etc.
The second ingredients are those ingredients which are added to the base ingredients. They influence the type of potion that you want to create. For example, Rabbit’s Foot influences swiftness, Phantom Membranes influences slow falling, Golden Carrot influences night vision, etc.
In addition, there are other ingredients called Element Ingredients that are used as cures, i.e, to cure nausea, poison, blindness, and so on. A Bismuth will cure nausea, Silver will cure poison, and Calcium will cure blindness.
The basic steps of brewing a potion are as follows:
- Make an Awkward potion using water bottle and Netherwart in the brewing stand
- Add an effect ingredient to specify the effect that you want the potion to have
- Add one more modifier ingredient to change the nature of the potion (this step is optional)
Furthermore, brewing stands are an important and a key object in brewing a potion. If you are unable to find a brewing stand in your journey then you have the option of crafting one. You must first combine one Blaze Rod and three Cobble Stone in a crafting table. You must place the single Blaze Rod in the centre with the three Cobble Stones in a single line below the rod. Viola! You have now successfully crafted a brewing stand.
