Minecraft Potions
Minecraft Potions
Potions in Minecraft are used to enhance a player’s abilities to help them fight through the Minecraft realm, or even harm their opponents making it easier to eliminate them. There are 72 different potions, each with a unique recipe and suited purpose. Once crafted, a potion can be used holding the right-click, or simply right-clicking once if it’s a splash potion.
There are so many different aspects to Minecraft, but one is alchemy. In update 0.12.1, Minecraft added potions into the game. Ever since then, potions have changed the way players go about different encounters throughout the game. In this tutorial, you will learn how potions work, how to craft them, and how to use them.

How to Get Potions in Minecraft?
Potions are very easy to get in Minecraft. The first thing you want to do is to obtain a brewing stand. Brewing stands are considerably simple to obtain. What you have to do is find a blaze in the nether.
Blazes normally spawn in nether Fortresses and once you kill one, it can drop an item called a blaze rod. A blaze rod can be used along with three pieces of cobblestone to create a brewing stand.
To craft a brewing stand, use the crafting recipe below.
The brewing stand UI looks scary at first, but it is really simple to navigate. There are three sections that you need to look at.
The first section is at the very top. That is where the ingredients will go that you want to put into your potion. The second section is the outlined blaze powder icon to the left. That is where you will put your blaze powder.
To craft blaze powder, you just put a blaze rod in your crafting table or your inventory crafting UI. One blaze rod will create two pieces of blaze powder.
Blaze powder is used for many different things, but in this case, it is used as the fuel source for the brewing stand. The final section you need to look at is the bottom three boxes with the bottle outlines. This is where you will put your water bottles or potions. You can put one water bottle in each box, so fill all of the boxes up if you want three potions to be created, two if you want two potions, and one if you only want one.
Every potion will need an awkward potion to get started. The ingredients of a potion will need to be put into an awkward potion to create the designated potion that you choose.
The simple version is that you need to go to the nether and find a nether wart. Nether warts can be found in nether fortresses or bastions. Once you have found them, you need to place the nether wart in the ingredients section of the brewing stand’s UI, along with water bottles in the bottle of the brewing stand. Don’t forget your blaze powder! You’ll need this to fuel your brewing stand. After about 20 seconds, the awkward potion will be created.
Here is a simple table that describes what ingredients you need to put in a brewing stand in order to get each potion. The ingredients are in the order that you need to put them in the brewing stand, going from left to right.
