Clear out junk files and repair common Windows errorsFree Scan →Fix the driver behind crashes, sound loss and screen glitchesFind Drivers →Most Minecraft effect potions follow this sequence: Water Bottle + Nether Wart → Awkward Potion → effect ingredient. Add Redstone to extend an eligible duration or Glowstone Dust to increase an eligible effect level. For thrown potions, add Gunpowder; to make a lingering potion, add Dragon’s Breath to a splash potion. Weakness is a notable exception: add a Fermented Spider Eye directly to a Water Bottle.
What are the Minecraft potion recipes?
- Make water bottles: Fill glass bottles with water and place them in a Brewing Stand.
- Make Awkward Potions: Add Nether Wart to the water bottles. Awkward Potion is the base for most effect potions.
- Choose the effect: Add the ingredient for the potion you want. For example, Sugar makes Swiftness, while a Glistering Melon Slice makes Healing.
- Choose a modifier, if useful: Add Redstone for more duration or Glowstone Dust for greater potency when the potion supports that change.
- Choose the delivery form: Add Gunpowder to make a potion splash, then add Dragon’s Breath to a splash potion to make it lingering.
In the Brewing Stand, Blaze Powder is fuel; it is also the effect ingredient for Strength. Put it in the fuel slot to power brewing, or use it as the reagent when brewing an Awkward Potion into Strength.
Minecraft potion ingredient chart
This chart shows the effect ingredient for familiar survival potions. Most listed effects use an Awkward Potion as their starting base. Weakness is the exception described above. Names and recipes here are for ordinary Minecraft brewing, not Minecraft Education chemistry recipes.
| Desired effect | Effect ingredient | Recipe note |
|---|---|---|
| Swiftness | Sugar | Use an Awkward Potion as the base. |
| Healing | Glistering Melon Slice | Use an Awkward Potion as the base. |
| Fire Resistance | Magma Cream | Eligible for duration extension. |
| Night Vision | Golden Carrot | Fermented Spider Eye converts Night Vision to Invisibility. |
| Strength | Blaze Powder | Blaze Powder also serves as Brewing Stand fuel, but fuel and reagent go in different slots. |
| Regeneration | Ghast Tear | Some Bedrock duration information is flagged as outdated; do not rely on unverified timings. |
| Leaping | Rabbit’s Foot | Use an Awkward Potion as the base. |
| Poison | Spider Eye | Use an Awkward Potion as the base. |
| Water Breathing | Pufferfish | Use an Awkward Potion as the base. |
| Turtle Master | Turtle Shell | Use an Awkward Potion as the base. |
| Slow Falling | Phantom Membrane | Use an Awkward Potion as the base. |

Redstone, Glowstone, and potion levels
Redstone extends eligible duration
Adding Redstone Dust to an eligible potion increases how long its effect lasts. It does not raise the effect level. Not every potion can be extended, and exact duration depends on edition and version.

Glowstone increases eligible potency
Adding Glowstone Dust enhances the level of eligible effects, commonly producing a stronger version. It does not extend duration. Some effects have no enhanced form, so a Level II version is not available for every potion.
Duration and level are usually alternatives
For most potions that support both changes, an extended-duration version and an enhanced-level version cannot be combined. Instant effects and effects without a Level II form are exceptions to this general rule. Check the recipe and edition-specific values before planning around a particular duration or potency.

Drinkable, splash, and lingering forms
| Form | How to make it | Duration guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Drinkable | Brew the desired potion and do not add a delivery modifier. | Baseline for comparisons; exact values vary by edition and version. |
| Splash | Add Gunpowder to a potion. | The Minecraft Wiki reference reports Java splash and drinkable durations match, while Bedrock splash duration is three-fourths of drinkable duration. These figures are edition-specific and should be verified for the version played. |
| Lingering | Add Dragon’s Breath to a splash potion. | The reference reports lingering duration as one-fourth of drinkable duration; verify edition and version before relying on an exact value. |
These ratios are not a substitute for an exact, current duration chart. The Minecraft Wiki brewing page, updated September 25, 2026, flags some information as outdated and gives Bedrock extended Regeneration as an example. It remains useful for recipe relationships, but check version-sensitive timing against the game version you play.
Edition and version notes
The ingredient chart is a practical survival-brewing reference, but exact durations and some chart values are not universal across Java and Bedrock. The four potions Infested, Oozing, Weaving, and Wind Charged are reported as additions in version 1.21. If a specific value matters, identify the edition and version rather than assuming one chart applies to all Minecraft players.

Microsoft’s official Bedrock creator documentation describes brewing mixes as an input potion plus a reagent producing an output potion; its example is Awkward Potion + Blaze Powder → Strength. That page documents the data structure for creators, not a comprehensive survival recipe chart. Microsoft’s Bedrock custom-potion data values are command-oriented, with the listed data current as of version 1.21.111 and subject to change in later versions.
