Minecraft Potions FAQ - Brewing Recipes | Artemis PvP

Question 1

How do you brew potions in Minecraft?

Accepted Answer

Put water bottles in a brewing stand fuelled with blaze powder, add Nether wart to make awkward potions, then add an ingredient for the effect you want. Most potions start from an awkward potion. Full charts are in the brewing guide.

Question 2

How do you make a splash potion?

Accepted Answer

Add gunpowder to a finished potion in the brewing stand. A splash potion is thrown and affects everything in the area it lands. Adding dragon's breath to a splash potion makes a lingering potion that leaves a cloud.

Question 3

What are the potion ingredients in Minecraft?

Accepted Answer

Add one of these to an awkward potion: sugar (Swiftness), rabbit's foot (Leaping), glistering melon slice (Healing), spider eye (Poison), blaze powder (Strength), golden carrot (Night Vision), ghast tear (Regeneration), pufferfish (Water Breathing), magma cream (Fire Resistance), turtle shell (Turtle Master), phantom membrane (Slow Falling). Newer ingredients are breeze rod (Wind Charged), stone (Infested), cobweb (Weaving) and slime block (Oozing). Then redstone dust makes a potion last longer, glowstone dust makes it stronger, and a fermented spider eye turns it into its opposite (for example Healing into Harming). Fermented spider eye on a plain water bottle makes Weakness.

Question 4

How do you make tipped arrows in Minecraft?

Accepted Answer

Put 8 arrows around one lingering potion in a crafting table to get 8 tipped arrows with that potion's effect. To make a lingering potion, add dragon's breath to a splash potion. So yes, you need dragon's breath: catch it in empty glass bottles from the Ender Dragon's breath attack or its purple clouds. On Java, fletchers can also give tipped arrows to a player with Hero of the Village.

Question 5

How do you make a potion of Strength?

Accepted Answer

Brew Nether wart into a water bottle to get an awkward potion, then add blaze powder. Glowstone dust upgrades it to Strength II, redstone dust makes it last longer.

Question 6

How do you make a potion of Weakness?

Accepted Answer

Add a fermented spider eye to a water bottle - no Nether wart needed. Add gunpowder for a splash potion of Weakness, which you need to cure zombie villagers.

Question 7

How do you make a potion of Healing?

Accepted Answer

Add a glistering melon slice to an awkward potion. Glowstone dust makes Healing II; gunpowder turns it into a splash potion you can throw - the heart of pot PvP.

Question 8

How do you make a potion of Harming?

Accepted Answer

Make a potion of Healing, then add a fermented spider eye - it turns the potion into Harming.

Question 9

How do you make a potion of Regeneration?

Accepted Answer

Add a ghast tear to an awkward potion.

Question 10

How do you make a potion of Night Vision?

Accepted Answer

Start from an awkward potion (nether wart in a water bottle) in a brewing stand and add a golden carrot: that gives 3:00 of Night Vision. Add redstone dust to stretch it to 8:00.

Question 11

How do you make a potion of Invisibility?

Accepted Answer

Brew a potion of Night Vision first, then add a fermented spider eye: that gives 3:00 of Invisibility. Add redstone dust for the 8:00 version.

Question 12

How do you make a potion of Fire Resistance?

Accepted Answer

Start from an awkward potion (nether wart in a water bottle) in a brewing stand and add magma cream for 3:00 of Fire Resistance, then redstone dust for 8:00. Fire Resistance has only one level, so redstone is the only upgrade it takes.

Question 13

How do you make a potion of Swiftness?

Accepted Answer

Start from an awkward potion (nether wart in a water bottle) in a brewing stand and add sugar for 3:00 of Swiftness. Add redstone dust for 8:00, or glowstone dust instead for Swiftness II, which lasts 1:30. Glowstone makes a potion stronger but shorter; redstone makes it last longer.

Question 14

How do you make a potion of Water Breathing?

Accepted Answer

Brew a pufferfish into an awkward potion (nether wart in a water bottle) for 3:00 of Water Breathing, then add redstone dust for 8:00.

Question 15

How do you make a potion of Leaping?

Accepted Answer

Brew a rabbit's foot into an awkward potion for 3:00 of Jump Boost. Redstone dust makes it 8:00; glowstone dust makes Leaping II for 1:30.

Question 16

How do you make a potion of Slow Falling?

Accepted Answer

Brew a phantom membrane into an awkward potion for 1:30 of Slow Falling, then add redstone dust for 4:00. You float down gently and take no fall damage while it lasts.

Question 17

What does the potion of the Turtle Master do?

Accepted Answer

It gives Slowness IV and Resistance III at the same time for 20 seconds (40 seconds extended), so you are very hard to hurt but barely move. Brew a turtle shell into an awkward potion to make it.
