Brewing Stand

The Brewing Stand is a block used for Brewing Potions and Splash Potions, replacing the Cauldron after Beta 1.9 pre-release 2.

Usage
Your mom touches my brewing stand.

History
It was revealed on September 30, 2011, when Jeb posted these 2 tweets:

The vessel used for brewing was originally going to be the Cauldron, but it was replaced by the Brewing Stand in the Beta 1.9 Pre-release. When the first brewing stand appeared, it had an additional 2D sub-stand for bottles,(see the first picture in the gallery) but now the stands for bottles have been designed in 3D.

Brewing originally took 30 seconds. As of Snapshot 12w01a, this was reduced to 20 seconds.

Bugs

 * When you punch a brewing stand, it becomes brighter. This bug also occurs with beds and used to occur with fancy side-grass in Beta 1.5.
 * You can shift click any amount (up to a stack) of bottles or potions into a single slot.

Trivia

 * The first version of the brewing stand was textured in 2D, and therefore the bottles of potion liquid were paper-thin and looked too small to hold anything.
 * The 8 bubbles on the left of the GUI are simply decoration, the arrow on the right shows how long it will take to brew the potions.
 * Even when the brewing stand is not in use, there is still smoke coming out of the top of it.
 * The brewing stand emits a low amount of light (light level 1)
 * When a brewing stand is broken, particles from the bottle will appear, even if no bottle is in the stand.
 * No matter what potion is in the stand it always looks red.
