Potion brewing chart (most efficient recipes, excludes splash potions). Recipes may differ in Bedrock Edition.
Brewing is the process of creating potions, splash potions and lingering potions by adding various ingredients to water bottles in a brewing stand.
Brewing potions
| Brewing GUI |
|---|
By placing at least one or more bottles in the lower three slots of the brewing interface, an ingredient in the upper slot, and blaze powder in the fuel slot, a player can distill the ingredients into each bottle and brew potions that may be consumed to grant an effect to the player.
Every potion starts with a water bottle, made by filling a glass bottle at a water source or filled cauldron. The next step is to add a base ingredient to create a base potion, usually nether wart is used to create an awkward potion, and adding blaze powder to the fuel slot. By brewing an effect ingredient into the awkward potion, in the same manner, the player can create a potion with a working effect. A modifier ingredient (glowstone dust, redstone dust, or fermented spider eye) may be added to make the effect more intense or last longer or change the effect entirely. Gunpowder can be added to a potion at any stage to convert it to a splash potion, which can be thrown (or fired using a dispenser) to affect all players and mobs in a radius. Dragon's breath can be added to a splash potion to convert it to a lingering potion, which can be used to create a cloud that grants an effect as long as it remains. Each brewing step takes 20 seconds.
Each piece of blaze powder used provides fuel for brewing 20 batches of potions. Fuel is consumed when a brewing operation starts and it is not recovered if the operation is halted prematurely by removing the ingredient or potion bottles.

Ingredients
Base ingredients and modifiers
Base ingredients are ingredients that can be added directly to a water bottle and are the starting point of all potions. Nether wart is the most fundamental of the base ingredients, as it is required to make the vast majority of potions.
Modifiers are ingredients used to alter the properties of a potion or to change a potion effect into a different one. The fermented spider eye is unique in that it is the only modifier that can convert a water bottle directly into an effective potion.
| Name | Icon | Result of adding to water bottle | Modifier effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nether Wart | Template:Grid | Awkward Potion | Allows the creation of more complex potions. |
| Redstone Dust | Template:Grid | Mundane Potion | Extends duration |
| Glowstone Dust | Template:Grid | Thick Potion | Enhances level |
| Fermented Spider Eye | Template:Grid | Potion of Weakness | Corrupts effect (or opposite) |
| Gunpowder | Template:Grid | Splash Water Bottle | Turns normal into splash |
| Dragon's Breath | Template:Grid | Lingering Water Bottle (from Splash Water Bottle) |
Turns splash into lingering |
Corrupting effect: A fermented spider eye changes a potion's base effect, often reversing it or producing a negative potion.
- A corrupted potion usually does the opposite of the original potion.
- Corrupting an enhanced or extended potion into an effect that supports the modifier results in a potion with the same modifier applied.
- Corrupting an enhanced potion of Poison/Healing results in a basic potion of Harming. Enhanced potions of Leaping or Swiftness cannot be corrupted.
- A potion of Invisibility is considered a "corrupted" version of a potion of Night Vision.
Splash and lingering potions: Any potion can be turned into a splash potion, and subsequently, a lingering potion. Splash and lingering potions can be used best for affecting other entities.
- Splash potions and lingering potions can be modified in the same manner as their normal counterparts. For instance, a splash water bottle can be brewed with any of the base ingredients; the result remains a splash potion.
- In Bedrock Edition, splash potions' effects have only three-fourths of the duration of the drinkable form. For example, a drinkable potion effect of 8:00 is reduced to 6:00 as a splash potion. In Java Edition, splash and drinkable forms have the same duration.
- Lingering potions have only one-fourth of the duration of the drinkable form. For instance, a drinkable potion effect of 8:00 is reduced to 2:00 as a lingering potion.
Effect ingredients
Effect ingredients imbue an awkward potion with a particular effect but do not alter potion duration or intensity. When added directly to a water bottle, most of these ingredients produce a mundane potion. The exceptions to this are golden carrot, pufferfish, turtle shell, and phantom membrane, which cannot be added directly to a water bottle.
| Name | Icon | Effect | Effect when corrupted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sugar | Speed | Slowness | |
| Rabbit's Foot | Jump Boost | ||

Elements
In Minecraft Education, or Bedrock Edition with Education features enabled, certain elements can be used as ingredients to brew medicines that remove specific negative status effects.
| Element | Icon | Effect cured |
|---|---|---|
| Bismuth | Nausea | |
| Calcium | Blindness | |
| Cobalt | Weakness | |
| Silver | Poison |
Brewing recipes
Base potions
Base potions are potions without effects, brewed by adding a single base ingredient to a water bottle. Of these, only the awkward potion can be imbued with an effect ingredient to produce a potion effect.

Effect potions
Effect potions are primarily created by adding an effect ingredient to an awkward potion, which is created by adding a nether wart to a water bottle. Certain effects require a potion to be corrupted by a fermented spider eye. The potion of weakness can additionally be created by simply adding a fermented spider eye to a water bottle.
