How to Use the Minecraft Brewing Chart
Our interactive brewing chart covers every potion recipe in Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition, including the new 1.21 potions like Wind Charged, Weaving, Oozing, and Infestation. Use it as a quick reference while playing or to plan your brewing sessions.
Step 1: Search or Filter Potions
Use the search bar to find potions by name, effect, or ingredient. For example, search ghast tear to find Regeneration, or fire to find Fire Resistance. Filter by category: Base, Positive, Negative, or Special potions.
Step 2: View Potion Recipes
Click any potion card to see its full recipe breakdown, including the base potion, required ingredient, effect duration, and available modifications. Cards show at a glance whether a potion can be extended with Redstone Dust or amplified with Glowstone Dust.
Step 3: Check Ingredients and Modifiers
Toggle the Ingredients panel to see where to find each brewing ingredient. Review the Potion Modifiers section to understand how Gunpowder creates Splash Potions, Dragon's Breath creates Lingering Potions, and Fermented Spider Eye corrupts effects.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set up a brewing stand in Minecraft?
Craft a Brewing Stand using 1 Blaze Rod and 3 Cobblestone. Place it down and add Blaze Powder as fuel (each powder fuels 20 brewing operations). Fill up to 3 Glass Bottles with water and place them in the bottom slots. Add ingredients to the top slot to begin brewing.
What is the base potion for most Minecraft potions?
The Awkward Potion is the base for almost all useful potions. Brew it by adding Nether Wart to a Water Bottle. The only exception is the Potion of Weakness, which can be brewed directly from a Water Bottle using a Fermented Spider Eye.
Can I extend and amplify the same potion?
No, you cannot both extend and amplify the same potion. Adding Redstone Dust extends the duration (usually to 8:00), while Glowstone Dust amplifies the effect to Level II but reduces duration. You must choose one or the other.
How do I make tipped arrows with potions?
First, create a Lingering Potion by adding Dragon's Breath to a Splash Potion. Then, surround the Lingering Potion with 8 Arrows in a crafting table to create 8 Tipped Arrows. You can also dip arrows into a cauldron filled with a potion on Bedrock Edition.
