Brewing is the process of creating potions, splash potions, and lingering potions by adding various ingredients to water bottles in a brewing stand. Brewing potions[]By placing at least one or more water bottles in the lower three slots of the brewing interface, an ingredient in the upper slot, and blaze powder in the fuel slot, a player can distill the ingredients into each bottle and brew potions that may be consumed to grant an effect to the player. The three potions being brewed do not necessarily have to be the same. Every potion starts with a water bottle, and proceeds with one or more steps of brewing. The usual steps are:
The exception to the above sequence is the potion of weakness, where a fermented spider eye is brewed directly into water. The resulting potion can be extended with redstone and/or converted to a splash or lingering potion as above. Each brewing step takes 20 seconds. Each piece of blaze powder used provides fuel for 20 "steps" of brewing. Fuel is consumed when a brewing operation starts and it is not recovered if the operation is halted prematurely by removing the ingredient or potion bottles. The same amount of fuel is consumed whether one, two, or three bottles are being brewed. The brewing stand can be fed by hoppers: Ingredients can be fed to the top of the stand, bottles and fuel can be fed to the side of the stand, and "finished" potions can be taken from the bottom.
Brewing continues as long as at least one of the three bottom spaces is filled, and additional bottles of water or potions can be added. However, if the ingredient is removed, or the bottom three slots are emptied at any time during the process, the process stops and nothing is brewed. Brewing equipment[]
Ingredients[]Base ingredients and modifiers[]Base ingredients are ingredients that can be added directly to a water bottle and are the starting point of all potions. Nether wart is the most fundamental of the base ingredients, as it is required to make the vast majority of potions. Modifiers are ingredients used to alter the properties of a potion or to change a potion effect into a different one. The fermented spider eye is unique in that it is the only modifier that can convert a water bottle directly into an effective potion. Enhancement: Generally, upgrading a potion involves a trade-off between duration and potency. A potion with an enhanced effect has shorter duration, and a potion with extended duration cannot have an enhanced effect. However:
Corrupting effect: A fermented spider eye changes a potion's base effect, often reversing it or producing a negative potion.
Splash and lingering potions: Any potion can be turned into a splash potion, and subsequently, a lingering potion. Splash and lingering potions can be used best for affecting other entities.
Effect ingredients[]Effect ingredients imbue an awkward potion with a particular effect but do not alter potion duration or intensity. When added directly to a water bottle, most of these ingredients produce a mundane potion. The exceptions to this are golden carrot, pufferfish, turtle shell, and phantom membrane, which cannot be added directly to a water bottle. Brewing recipes[]Base potions[]Base potions are potions without effects, brewed by adding a single base ingredient to a water bottle. Of these, only the awkward potion can be imbued with an effect ingredient to produce a potion effect.
Effect potions[]Effect potions are primarily created by adding an effect ingredient to an awkward potion, which is created by adding nether wart to a water bottle. Certain effects require a potion to be corrupted by a fermented spider eye. The potion of weakness can additionally be created by simply adding a fermented spider eye to a water bottle — and it is the only potion that can be brewed without nether wart. Undead mobs react differently to effects than other mobs. They take damage from potions of Healing, gain health from potions of Harming, and are unaffected by potions of Poison and Regeneration.

Cures[]
This section describes an education-related feature. This feature is available only in Education Edition or when enabling the "Education Edition" option in Bedrock Edition. Cures are brewed from awkward potions using different elements.[Bedrock and Education editions only] Drinking these removes the specified bad effect. They cannot be modified into splash, lingering, extended, or enhanced versions. Unbrewable potions[]The potion of Luck[Java Edition only] and the potion of Decay[Bedrock Edition only] cannot be brewed, and can be obtained only through commands or the creative inventory.
