10 Best Potions of Minecraft

Glass Bottle

Made with 3 glass blocks in a 3×3 crafting table. Used as a container for all kinds of potions, water and honey.

Water Bottle

The starting base for all potions, made by filling a glass bottle from a cauldron or a water source block. These water bottles are put in the slots of the brewing stand.

Cauldron

Each cauldron can hold a bucket of water (after placement), fill 3 glass bottles, or in Bedrock Edition, hold 3 bottles’ worth of a single potion (after placement), and can hold water in the Nether without evaporating.

Water

Water can also be used as a source instead of Cauldron, by making an infinite water source. Infinite bottles can be filled.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients and Modifiers

Base ingredients are those which are added directly to the water bottles or are added after a potion is made with the needed ingredients. Nether wart among all the base ingredients is the most fundamental. It is required to make almost all the portions. Fermented spider eye is also a base ingredient, only used to make poison. 

Modifiers are ingredients used to alter the potion properties or to change the effect of the potion into a different one. Redstone dust, glowstone dust, gunpowder, dragon’s breath are the modifiers. Every modifier has a special effect of potions. When used with a normal water bottle makes “No Effect” potions. 

Name	Icon	Result When Added To Water	Effect
Nether Wart		Awkward Potion	Allows the creation of more complex potions.
Redstone Dust		Mundane Potion	Extends the duration of a potion.
Glowstone Dust		Thick Potion	Enhances the level of a potion.
Fermented Spider Eye		Potion of Weakness	Corrupts the potion effect. (changes effect)
Gunpowder		Splash Water Bottle	Turns a potion into a splash potion.
Dragon’s Breath		Lingering Water Bottle (from Splash Water Bottle)	Turns a splash potion into a lingering potion.

Nether Wart

Nether warts are found in Netherland fortresses. Red nether biome or Crimson Forest is a new biome that is found in the Nether dimension and will be introduced in the Nether Update. The tree-like crimson fungus tree gives blocks of nether wart. 

Redstone Dust

Redstone dusts can be found by mining only. They are available as redstone ores and deepslate redstone ores.

Glowstone Dust

Breaking glowstone blocks give glowstone dust. Glowstones are only available in nether.

Fermented Spider Eye

Fermented spider eye is a craftable recipe in a 3×3 crafting table. It needs sugar from sugarcanes, brown mushrooms and spider eyes.

Gunpowder

It’s a mob drop from creeper.

Dragon’s Breath

The dragon’s breath can be obtained by scooping up the ender dragon’s breath attack or dragon fireball clouds in an empty bottle.

Effects 

Upgrading a potion works on the logic of Barter between Enhancement and Duration. If a potion is brewed with Redstone dust it will give an extension of time duration. But if it’s brewed with Glowstone dust it will enhance the potion to its next level.

Corrupted effect

Fermented spider eyes change the base effect of a potion when added to it, producing a negetive or corrupted effect to the potion. Though, all the potions are not affected by it.

When added to water bottles give a potion of weakness which is used to heal zombified villagers.
Invisibility is also considered as a corrupted effect of Night vision, when spider eye is added.

Splash Potion

Any potion can be turned into splash potions by adding gunpowder to the brewing stand. For instance, a splash water bottle can be brewed with any of the base ingredients; the result remains a splash potion with the effect needed.

• In Bedrock Edition, splash potions’ effects have only three-fourths of the duration of the drinkable form. For example, a drinkable potion effect of 8:00 is reduced to 6:00 as a splash potion.
• In Java Edition, splash and drinkable forms have the same duration.

Lingering potion

Lingering potions are made from splash potions by adding dragon’s breath to the brewing stand. Lingering potions can be modified in the same manner as their normal counterparts.

Lingering potions have only one-fourth of the duration of the drinkable form. For instance, a drinkable potion effect of 8:00 is reduced to 2:00 as a lingering potion.

Effect Ingredient

Effect ingredients are the items added to the brewing stand with an awkward potion. These ingredients influence the type of potions created,but they don’t alter potion duration or intensity.

When added directly to a water bottle, most of these ingredients produce a mundane potion with No Effect. The exceptions to this are golden carrot, pufferfish, turtle shell, and phantom membrane, which cannot be added directly to a water bottle.

Name	Icon	Effect
Sugar		Speed
Rabbit Foot		Jump
Glistering Lemon Slice		Instant Health
Spider eye		Poison
Pufferfish		Water Breathing
Magma Cream		Fire Resistance
Golden Carrot		Night Vision
Blaze Powder		Strength
Ghast Tear		Regeneration
Turtle Shell		Slowness, Resistance
Phantom Membrane		Slow Falling

Brewing Potions

Brewing stand is made by placing cobblestone, blackstone or deepslate with one blaze rod in the 3×3 crafting table. 

After placing the brewing stand, at least 1 glass water bottle is needed to place out of 3 in the bottle slot. As a fuel, blaze powder is used in the leftmost slot. 1 last slot is left on the top, where base ingredients and effect ingredients are added to start the brewing process.

Now the usual steps for brewing potions are:

• Add base ingredients, especially awkward potions to the top slot to make awkward potions with no effect.
• Fermented spider eye when added with normal water bottles gives Potion of weakness directly, used to heal a zombified villager.
• After making an awkward potion, effect ingredients are added to the brewing stand, to make respective potions.
• Fermented spider eyes added with few potions give corrupted potions.
• Gunpowder added with these potions produces splash options and when dragon’s breath is added again it makes lingering potions, which can be used to create a lasting area effect cloud, or to craft tipped arrows.
• Redstone dust when added to the potions increases the time durations of the potions.
• Glowstone dust is added with the potions to enhance the levels.

Each brewing step takes 20 seconds. Each piece of blaze powder used provides fuel for 20 “steps” of brewing. Fuel is consumed when a brewing operation starts and it is not recovered if the operation is halted prematurely by removing the ingredient or potion bottles. The same amount of fuel is consumed whether one, two, or three bottles are being brewed.
