Potion-Brewing Procedure

1. Start by crafting a brewing stand.

3. Fill the Glass Bottles with water by right clicking on a water source, or a cauldron. Once you have finished filling the bottles, you can begin Brewing .

5. Once you have an Awkward Potion, you can put other ingredients in the top slot to create several different effects.

TIP : If you are not sure what ingredients do what, read on to Potion Recipes below.

Trivia

• The potion of healing harms undead mobs (this includes mobs like Zombies, Skeletons, and the Wither) and the potion of harming heals those mobs.
• The idea of sugar being used to make potions of swiftness may be based on the theory of some sugar making people hyperactive.
• The idea of golden carrots being used to make Night Vision potions may be based on the theory that carrots help you see better.
