Bedrock is the same except: long Regeneration lasts 2:00, long Poison lasts 2:00, and Potion of Freezing (Ice Ball) is Bedrock only for now. Splash potions last as long as the drinkable ones; lingering potions a quarter as long.
How to use it
- Choose Java or Bedrock, then the potion you want.
- Pick Normal, Long (Redstone) or Strong (Glowstone), and Drink, Splash or Lingering.
- Follow the steps in order in your brewing stand. Each step uses one ingredient for up to three bottles.
- Set how many potions you need to get the full shopping list, then copy it.
How it works
A brewing stand turns up to three bottles at once, using one ingredient per step and one brew of fuel; one Blaze Powder fuels 20 brews. Most potions start as an Awkward Potion (Water Bottle + Nether Wart). Fermented Spider Eye "corrupts" some potions into their opposite, Redstone makes them last longer, Glowstone makes them stronger but shorter, Gunpowder makes them throwable and Dragon's Breath turns a splash potion into a lingering one, which lasts a quarter as long. Tipped arrows, made from 8 Arrows around 1 Lingering Potion, carry an eighth of the potion's time. Below the tool, the brewing chart shows the whole tree from Water Bottle to every potion, filters it by any ingredient you have, and prints on one page. Recipes and durations follow the Minecraft Wiki's brewing data for the current versions.
Questions
How do you make an Awkward Potion?
Put Water Bottles in a brewing stand, Blaze Powder in the fuel slot and Nether Wart on top. Almost every potion starts from an Awkward Potion.
What does Fermented Spider Eye do in brewing?
It corrupts a potion into a different one: Swiftness or Leaping into Slowness, Night Vision into Invisibility, Healing or Poison into Harming, and a plain Water Bottle into Weakness.
Should I use Redstone or Glowstone?
Redstone makes a potion last longer at the same strength; Glowstone makes it stronger but shorter. You can't use both on the same potion, and some potions only have one of them.
How long do splash and lingering potions last?
Splash potions last as long as the drinkable version. Lingering potions (splash potion + Dragon's Breath) last a quarter as long, but leave a cloud that affects everyone who walks through it.
How many potions does one Blaze Powder brew?
One Blaze Powder fuels 20 brewing steps, and each step can turn up to three bottles. The tool counts the fuel for you.
