How Minecraft brewing works
Put Blaze Powder in the fuel slot, water-filled glass bottles in the three lower slots and an ingredient in the top slot. One operation takes 20 seconds and can process up to three bottles at once.
Most useful recipes begin with Water Bottle → Nether Wart → Awkward Potion. Mundane and Thick potions are base potions without effects; Weakness is the notable exception because it can be brewed directly from a water bottle.
Redstone and Glowstone are alternatives, not stackable upgrades. Choose longer level-I duration or a shorter stronger effect. Potions without a level-II form accept only Redstone.
Java and Bedrock differences
- Extended Regeneration: 1:30 in Java, 2:00 in current Bedrock.
- Extended Poison: 1:30 in Java, 2:00 in current Bedrock; Poison II is 0:21 versus 0:22.
- Splash timing: current editions match the drinkable duration. Older Bedrock releases used three-quarters.
- Tipped arrows: Java crafts eight around a Lingering Potion; Bedrock also supports potion-filled cauldrons.

Minecraft potion chart FAQ
How do I make an Awkward Potion?
Fill glass bottles with water, place them in a powered brewing stand and add Nether Wart. Awkward Potion is the base for nearly every effect potion.
What does Glowstone Dust do to potions?
Glowstone Dust increases potion level where a stronger form exists, such as Strength II or Healing II. The stronger form is usually shorter than the normal potion.
Can I use Redstone and Glowstone on the same potion?
No. A potion cannot be both extended and enhanced. Choose Redstone for a longer duration or Glowstone Dust for a stronger effect.
How do I make a Splash or Lingering Potion?
Add Gunpowder to make a Splash Potion. Then add Dragon’s Breath to the Splash Potion to create a Lingering Potion.
What are the newest brewable potions?
Minecraft 1.21 added Wind Charging, Infestation, Weaving and Oozing. Their ingredients are Breeze Rod, Stone, Cobweb and Slime Block.
Why is my potion recipe not working?
Check that Blaze Powder is loaded, the ingredient is in the top slot and the correct base potion is below. Most effect ingredients require an Awkward Potion, not a Mundane or Thick Potion.
