What is a Potion in Minecraft

Potions are bottled liquids in Minecraft that apply a magic-like effect to the user for a limited time. There are a variety of potions in the game, each with its own unique effects. Some are negative, some are neutral, and most other potions have positive effects. We will go over each time of potion individually later in the guide.

In Minecraft, all the potions are made by adding different items to a water bottle using a brewing stand. It’s a utility block that uses blaze powder as fuel and can create up to three potion bottles at once using a single ingredient.

Alternatively, you can also get potions by bartering with piglins in the Nether or by fishing in the overworld. Also, killing witches and wandering traders is another way to obtain potions, but you have to kill them while they are drinking the potion for them to drop it.

If nothing else proves to be fruitful, you can still get some potions in a chest loot of Ancient cities, end cities, igloo basements, and buried treasure.

Before we dive deeper into individual potions, here’s a complete list of potions that Minecraft .1.19 or later has to offer. Check it out:

*variants of Potions

All the base potions in Minecraft don’t have any power of their own. If used, they don’t have any effect on the target. The sole purpose of the base potions is to serve as an ingredient for creating advanced potions.

The awkward potion in Minecraft is the most common base potion, which is used in most potion recipes. It doesn’t have any effects of its own. To make an awkward potion, you need to use Nether warts as the main ingredient with water bottles.

  • Items Required– Nether warts, water bottles, and blaze powderEffects– No effectsPurpose– To make other potions

Mundane Potion

Just like other base potions, the mundane potion doesn’t have any effects either. Its sole purpose is to serve as the main ingredient to brew the Potion of Weakness. If you want to craft it, you can do so by brewing water bottles with magma cream, rabbit’s foot, sugar, glistering melon, spider eye, or ghast tear. Irrespective of the main ingredient, all mundane potions are ineffective.

Thick Potion

As you might expect, even the thick potion has no effects. But to make things worse, it can’t even be used to make advanced potions in Minecraft 1.19. This potion doesn’t serve any purpose other than for probable decoration. You can make it by brewing water bottles with glowstone dust.

Positive Potions

As the name reveals, positive potions are the ones that have a positive impact on its user. They are usually consumed directly by the player. Almost all positive potions in Minecraft use awkward potions as their base instead of water bottles.

The Potion of Healing instantly heals its user and can add up to 4 hearts to your health bar. You can make it by brewing a glistering melon slice with an awkward potion. You can also obtain this potion by killing a witch while it’s drinking this potion.

Potion of Regeneration

Instead of instant healing, the Potion of Regeneration restores the player’s health over a period of time. It is faster than the regular regeneration and isn’t affected by the hunger bar of the player. You can brew it by combining an awkward potion with a ghast tear.

  • Items Required– A ghast tear, awkward potion, and blaze powderEffects– Health regenerationDuration– 45 seconds

Potion of Slow Falling

One of the best ways to avoid fall damage in Minecraft is by using a Potion of Slow Falling. It reduces the speed by which you fall from any in-game height, thus, eliminating the damage that comes with it. To brew this potion, you need to combine a phantom membrane with a bottle of awkward potion. You can get the membrane by killing phantoms that spawn if you don’t sleep for multiple days in the game.

Potion of Fire Resistance

If you plan to make a Nether portal to explore the Nether dimension, it’s almost a necessity to brew a Potion of Fire Resistance. It makes you immune from fire and lava-based damage. You can brew magma cream with bottles of awkward potion to make this potion in Minecraft. Alternatively, you can also barter with piglins to obtain the Potion of Fire Resistance in Minecraft.

Potion of Swiftness

Working like a boost, the Potion of Swiftness allows you to jump higher and move at a much faster pace than usual. And since you only need to add sugar to awkward potions to make it, you can collect multiple copies of it easily.

Potion of Strength

Minecraft, most of the time, is a game based on close combat. Because of that, the Potion of Strength can easily topple fights toward one side. It increases the damage dealt with each hit of the player. And unlike any other potion, it uses the fuel of brewing, blaze powder, as its main ingredient.

Potion of Leaping

This potion allows you to jump higher than usual, just like a rabbit in the game. But you still can’t jump as high as the Minecraft 1.19 frogs. If you are fine with the compromise, brew a rabbit’s foot with an awkward potion to obtain a Potion of Leaping.

  • Items Required– Rabbit’s foot, awkward potion, and blaze powderEffects– Increased jump heightDuration– 3 minutes

Potion of Water Breathing

The oceans of Minecraft are brutal. You have to struggle to breathe, fight hostile mobs and keep swimming. Fortunately, the Potion of Water Breathing can make your life easier by allowing you to breathe underwater. You can create it by brewing a pufferfish with an awkward potion in Minecraft 1.19.

Potion of Night Vision

Since the arrival of Warden in Minecraft 1.19, the game has gotten a bit darker – both literally and figuratively. Fortunately, to counter that, all you need is the Potion of Night Vision. It allows you to see clearly in dark areas and even somewhat counter the Warden’s darkness effect. You simply need to add a golden carrot to an awkward potion to obtain this potion.

Potion of Invisibility

As the name reveals, the Potion of Invisibility allows you to turn invisible. Doing so will make almost all the mobs in the game ignore you. But this doesn’t work with the Warden, which is a blind mob that relies upon vibrations.

Potion of Luck 

The Potion of Luck is a Minecraft Java-exclusive potion that is not obtainable in the survival mode without commands. It increases the quantity of general loot as well as the chances for the players to obtain rarer loot. But until the potion officially gets a brewing recipe in the game (probably with Minecraft 1.20), you can use the following command to obtain it:

/give @p potion{Potion:“minecraft:luck”}

All negative potions in Minecraft 1.19 apply negative effects to the target. Players usually use them as throwable splash potions, which we will cover in another section.

A Potion of Weakness reduces the attack damage of the user who consumes it, making their each attack weaker than usual. It is a great potion to counter powerful enemies and well-geared players. To brew this, you only need to add a fermented spider eye to a water bottle.

Potion of Poison

You can use the Potion of Poison to give a poison effect to your target. It causes the consumer’s health to slowly degrade until it reaches one heart. But keep in mind that this potion can’t kill another player or mob. You can create it by brewing a fermented spider eye with the awkward potion in Minecraft 1.19.

Potion of Slowness

Many Minecraft fights – in PvP or against mobs – are based on the opponent’s speed. To counter that, the Potion of Slowness reduces the movement speed of its target by 15%. It slows down their attacks as well as general movement. To create it, you need to corrupt a Potion of Swiftness by adding a fermented spider eye in the brewing station.

  • Items Required– Fermented spider eye, Potion of Swiftness, and blaze powderEffects– Reduced movement speedDuration– 1 minute 30 seconds

Potion of Harming

Instead of slow decay like the poison effect, the Potion of Harming instantly decreases 6 health points on impact. You can obtain it by corrupting the Potion of Poison with a fermented spider eye. Not to forget, Potion of Harming is the only potion that can kill its target, thus, making it the most dangerous potion in Minecraft 1.19.

Potion of Decay

The Potion of Decay is a Bedrock exclusive potion that applies the Wither effect on its target. When it’s active, the target will continuously take damage until the effect ends. But, just like the Minecraft Java’s Potion of Luck, you can’t brew this in survival mode. Instead, you have to use the following command to obtain it:

Unlike any other potion, the Potion of the Turtle Master has both negative and positive effects. It makes you immune from all types of damage in the game, but while doing so it also heavily reduces your movement speed. Depending upon the situation, it can be a lifesaver as well as a reliable weapon. You can craft it by brewing a turtle shell with an awkward potion.

Types of Potions in Minecraft 1.19

Potions are a powerful resource even in their basic form. But by brewing them with the right ingredient, you can push them a step further. Here are all the ways you can modify your potions in Minecraft 1.19:

  • Gunpowder: Turn a potion into a splash potionDragon’s Breath: Turn a splash potion into a lingering potionRedstone dust: Increase the duration of time-bound potionsGlowstone dust: Improve the strength of a potion while decreasing its duration

Splash Potions

By default, the only way to use a potion in Minecraft is by consuming it. But that becomes a fatal flow when negative potions come into the picture. You first have to convert them into throwable splash potions. To do so, add gunpowder to a regular potion using a brewing stand. When the brewing finishes, your potion bottle will have its head bent, giving you a visual indicator of its throwable nature.

If thrown at the right time and angle, a splash potion can affect all entities with a maximum range of 8 blocks. Though, the effect of the potion weakens with the increase in the mob’s distance from the center of impact.

The splash potions are a great weapon, but only if you have good aim or if your target isn’t moving around too much. Fortunately, if you add dragon’s breath to the splash potion, it will become a lingering potion. It is also a throwable potion but instead of having a direct impact, it leaves a smoke cloud at the area of impact.

Then whenever an entity comes in contact with the cloud, it gets affected by the potion’s effect. This cloud starts with a radius of 3 blocks but slowly becomes smaller and vanishes after 30 seconds. Though, the size of the cloud doesn’t affect the strength of the potion effect. If you use instant lingering potions, you can easily harm or heal the target more effectively than direct consumption.

More than half of the Minecraft 1.19 potions listed above are time-bound. Their effects wear off after a few seconds or minutes. But if you add Redstone dust to your potion, you can make the potion last for a longer duration. Though, it doesn’t affect the potions that have instant effects like the potion of healing.

How to Level Up Potions

One of the best ways to improve your potions is by leveling them up. You can do so by adding glowstone dust to the potion. This will cause the potion’s strength to increase making its effects more powerful. But to avoid making them overpowered, the game also reduces the duration of the time-bound potions. Not to forget, glowstone dust doesn’t impact base potions and the potion of invisibility.

Exclusive to the Java edition, the Uncraftable Potion is a base potion that causes no effects on its consumer. You can’t obtain it in the survival game mode without any cheats.
