Missing potion
If you find a missing potion, where to add it best?

Beta 2.0?
What's this, there hasn't been any mention of a Beta 2.0. Do you mean Beta 1.10? Remember, version numbers are NOT decimal numbers!

Brewing wont be as it was in 1.9pre2

Brewing wont be as it was in 1.9pre2. It's a speculation based on mod (I know that this mod using code from game but that code never meant to be released to public) and should be deleted until version with actual brewing is out. — MiiNiPaaT 10:45, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

the fact that so many potions and the whole system is already implemented makes me think that the only thing they change will be the cauldrons. jeb tweeted that this was the problem, so probably the item is out and there will be something similar to a craftig table or something, but how potions work and the effects of the items have a high chance to stay like they are already implemented --Wally

Citation Needed?
"Currently there are over 9,000 ingredient combinations." How do we know this? If we know the list of ingredients or functional combinations then we should have a link to them, if not we need a citation. Cultist O 10:48, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Potion Names and Ingred?
How are people figuring out the names of potions and the ingredients to make them? Is this speculation or is it from the code? --Throex 21:18, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Making them in-game, I'd imagine. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:21, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I look at the code, way too lazy to make them all in game. --Wizjany 21:22, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Thats what I was getting at, was it in the code.. or did someone figure out how to modify the code to craft these potions in game? Thanks for the answer.. --Throex 21:24, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * This forum post contains most of the info. I am personally not using the cauldron stuff though, so I haven't looked at how they work, but all the stuff about potions and effects and so on is already there, just no way to brew them (without the mod). --Wizjany 21:31, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Extensive Recipe List
I'm working on an extensive list of all the potions and their changes like a tech-tree style format HERE, because the list on this page looks quite unorganised and unorthodox. --HexZyle 04:39, 3 October 2011 (UTC) EDIT: More refined and updated version of the page: Recipe Table --HexZyle 08:52, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

The nausea potion recipe: sugar + spider eye + nether wart + water. Effect: nausea 1:30

P.s. Sorry if i post in in wrong theme.

Validity of Recipes
Any potion with the effect "Instant Harm III" will instantly kill you upon drinking it, rendering it pretty much useless. Should the recipes with this effect be removed from this page?


 * 1. its in the game, so it should be listed on the wiki even if its useless
 * 2. if you have a plugin/mod that removes the text from the potions (for non-alchemists) it will be realy good for RP --MG127 19:46, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Also, I believe slimeball is not an ingredient. All the programmers who work with the cauldron and brewing code have not mentioned anything about a slimeball as an ingredient. Neither do mushrooms, and they do not appear in any valid recipes on the page. --HexZyle 04:16, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Current ingredients (as of 1.9pre3): Redstone Dust, Glowstone Dust, Sugar, Spider Eye, Fermented Spider Eye, Blaze Powder, Magma Cream, Ghast Tear and Nether Wart Seeds. --Wizjany 19:57, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Bolded new ingredients --HexZyle 20:33, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Needs to be tabled up
The old Cauldron based recipes have been removed, the new Brewing Stand based ones have been added.We are going to need lots of tables. And it needs an equivalent of the Crafting and Smelting templates. Ecksearoh 17:54, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Better idea - New page - Alchemy, made in the same way as the Crafting and Smelting pages --HexZyle 05:04, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Potion names (from Cauldron based system)
There are a number of names used for potions in-game; these don't seem to have any strong connection to the potion's ingredients or effects. The names include:

 * Acrid potion
 * Artless potion
 * Awkward potion
 * Bland potion
 * Bulky potion
 * Bungling potion
 * Buttered potion

Use for Spider Eyes
Is there any beneficial use for Spider Eyes and Fermented Spider Eyes? As far as I can tell they just make harmful potions or add harmful effects.
