How to brew potions in Minecraft
Welcome to the Minecraft Wiki guide on potions! Here, you'll find comprehensive information on crafting different types of potions, utilizing brewing stands, creating water bottles and cauldrons, and much more.
Potions were introduced to the computer editions of Minecraft with the 1.0.0 update.
How to Create Potions in Minecraft?
Crafting potions is a complex art that requires a variety of materials. The key item for potion-making is the brewing stand. Potions are consumable items that have various effects on the player or can be thrown as splash potions at other entities.
Crafting a Brewing Stand in Minecraft
To make a brewing stand, you'll need a blaze rod obtained from a blaze mob in the Nether and three blocks of cobblestone.

How to Craft Bottles in Minecraft
Next in line, after acquiring the brewing stand, are the bottles that will hold the brewed potions. They can be crafted using three glass blocks as shown below.

How to Brew Potions and Craft Water Bottles and Cauldrons
All brewing recipes require a glass bottle filled with water as a base ingredient. Bottles can be filled by equipping one in your hand and right-clicking on water.
Alternatively, you can craft cauldrons. Cauldrons are created using seven iron bars and, once placed down, can hold enough water to fill three bottles completely.

Water can only be placed in a cauldron using a bucket. However, it's generally more efficient to use a water source block instead of cauldrons, as the latter will eventually run out.
