Minecraft potions: brewing stands and splash potions

It is easier to understand potions with one clear experience. First, select the desired effect, then check the recipe and method of application separately.

Choose a potion task

Underwater exploration, combat, and movement require different effects. Write down your goal before gathering ingredients so you don't end up with a random mixture. There are positive and harmful effects in Minecraft; The name of the result is more important than the appearance of the bottle. Compare the recipe with the edition and version of the game, especially if you play with add-ons. For the first experiment, use a separate small batch.

How does the brewing stand work?

The usual brewing process combines water bottles and ingredients in a brewing stand according to the selected recipe. Check the resulting item before proceeding to the next step. Keep one sample to compare batches. A bottle is not necessarily a finished potion with the desired effect. If brewing does not begin, check the ingredients and the requirements of the stand, then review the recipe sequence.

How to make an splash potion

A regular potion can be combined with gunpowder in a brewing stand to create an splash version. Such a potion is thrown: the effect is applied when the bottle hits and breaks. Check the name of the result after preparation. For the first test, choose an empty space and a clear goal. The positive effect can also affect nearby participants, so agree on the location of the throw before using it together.

Checking the result and inventory

After application, look at the list of active effects and their time. Write down the name of the potion, the preparation steps and the test result. If there is no expected effect, first find out whether the correct bottle was used, then check the conditions of influence. Keep harmful and beneficial potions separately. The difference between drinking and throwing is important when preparing your inventory: the same purpose of the effect does not mean the same method of use.
