Trivia

 * Even when the brewing stand is not in use, there is still smoke coming out of the top of it.
 * When a brewing stand is broken, particles from a bottle appear, even if no bottle is in the stand.
 * No matter what potion (including empty and water bottles) is in the stand it always looks like a full red bottle.
 * Brewing stands always face east, no matter what direction it was placed.
 * According to Searge, blaze powder being used as fuel was added as a way to not destroy the game progression because there is a brewing stand beneath the igloo, preventing the player from using it before going to the Nether.
