Brewing

Brewing is the method by which many potions, are made in Minecraft. It is a function that will first be made available in Beta 1.10. Originally Potions were to be brewed in Cauldrons but Jeb later tweeted that Notch and he had come up with a different way to brew.

According to code found in the Beta 1.9 Pre-release 2, Potions are brewed by adding water to a Cauldron, and then combining ingredients. Ingredients in the correct combination would confer beneficial potion effects with no downside, or additional negative status effects. In 1.9, there will be a Brewing Stand to brew potions in.
