Crafting[edit]

Usage[edit]
Brewing stands cannot be pushed by pistons in Java Edition.
By default, the GUI of a brewing stand is labeled "Brewing Stand," but this name can be customized by naming it in an anvil before placing it.
Brewing[edit]
The main purpose of brewing stands is to allow for the brewing of potions. Its interface can be opened by pressing use on them.
Brewing stands need blaze powder as fuel. Each piece brews 20 batches of potions. Unlike furnaces there is no time limit for when the 20 batches are brewed.
Light source[edit]
Brewing stands emit a light level of 2.
Change profession[edit]
If a village has a brewing stand that has not been claimed by a villager, any villager who hasn't already picked a job site block in the village has a chance to change their profession into cleric.

Trivia[edit]
- Even when the brewing stand is not in use, there is still smoke coming out of the top of it.
- In Java Edition, 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.[4]
