How to Make Potions in Minecraft?
This is a list of items you will need to make a potion from scratch. When making potions, the existence of blaze rod and nether wart becomes a bottleneck. Both of these are items that you can get in a place called Nether Fortress.
A Nether Fortress is a dungeon located in the world of the Nether. Sometimes you can find it right away, but you’ll have to hunt around and find it more often than not. So you have to prepare and look for Nether Fortresses. As a guideline for bringing back items, it is OK to have 5 or more blaze rods and 1 or more nether warts because you can increase them.
Flow when making potions: When making Potions in Minecraft from scratch, the flow to completion is like this. Next, we will discuss each method in detail.
Build a brewing stand
To make potions, you need a tool called a “brewing stand”. You can’t do anything without this, so let’s start by making a mixing table. To make a mixing table, craft 1 “blaze rod” and 3 “cobblestones”. Blaze Rod is a drop item of the monster “Blaze” in Nether Fortress.
From glass bottles to water bottles
Next, before making the potion, first, make the original glass bottle. To make a glass bottle, craft 3 “Glass”. you can obtain glass by baking “sand” in a furnace. The glass bottle you created can turn into a “water bottle” by pressing a button that uses a tool (right click, ZL button, etc.) toward the water.

How to make a Base Potion in Minecraft?
As a final touch before crafting potions, create an “incomplete potion” (weird potion in the Java version) from which all options are available. By combining various items with this incomplete potion, finally you can use it as a potion.
If you try to make a potion with a water bottle, it will fail, so be careful! To make it, set various items like this image using the preparation table you made earlier.
Over time, the water bottle will turn into an incomplete Potions in Minecraft. Also, it is possible to make up to 3 potions at once. It’s good to prepare a lot so that you can make your favorite potions at any time. However, be careful of the rest of the blaze powder!
Add effects to potions
By combining the completed incomplete potion (strange potion) with various materials, it is possible to add effects to the potion. Also, the effects that you can give to potions differ depending on the item used as material. For example, by using “magma cream” as a material, completion of a “potion of fire resistance” that disables fire.
Besides, various effects are depending on the material, such as “Golden Carrot” becoming “Night Vision Potion”. The method of adding effects to potions is OK by placing various items in their respective places, just like when using the preparation table earlier. After it is complete, you can use it as a potion.
Conclusion
It’s a finished Potions in Minecraft, but in its current state, you can only use it on yourself. For example, if it is a poison potion, it is meaningless to use it on yourself, so it is necessary to change it to a splash potion that can be throwable. Besides that, it is also possible to strengthen the effect of the potion and increase the duration. The method is the same as before, you can make it by setting various items on the preparation table.
