Template:Infobox item

Potions are bottled consumable liquids that give Minecraft:effects for a certain amount of time when drunk. They are primarily obtained from Minecraft:brewing. Every potion is brewed starting from a Minecraft:water bottle, which is considered a type of potion that has no effects.

Variants

Base potions

Effect potions

Obtaining

Brewing

Template:Main

Almost all potions are obtained by Minecraft:brewing.

The Minecraft:potion of LuckTemplate:Only and the Minecraft:potion of DecayTemplate:Only cannot be brewed. They can be obtained via commands, and are also available in the Minecraft:Creative inventory in their respective editions.

Mob loot

A Minecraft:witch has an 8.5% chance to drop a Minecraft:potion of Healing, Fire Resistance, Swiftness, or Water Breathing if it dies while drinking one of them.

A Minecraft:wandering trader also has an 8.5% chance to drop a Minecraft:potion of Invisibility if killed while drinking it.

Generated loot

Two Minecraft:potions of Healing II can be found in the brewing stand on end ships in Minecraft:end cities.

One splash Minecraft:potion of Weakness can be found in the Minecraft:brewing stand inside every Minecraft:igloo basement.

Template:IN, the cauldron in a Minecraft:swamp hut contains 1 to 3 bottles of a random potion. There is a 25% chance for a Minecraft:potion of Healing or Poison, 15% for Swiftness, 10% for Slowness, Weakness, or Water Breathing, and 5% for Fire Resistance.

Template:LootChestItem

Bartering

When given a Minecraft:gold ingot, Minecraft:piglins have a Template:Frac (~2.13%) chance to Minecraft:barter a water bottle, a Template:Frac (~1.71%) chance to barter a Minecraft:potion of Fire Resistance, and a Template:Frac (~1.71%) to barter a splash potion of Fire Resistance.

Fishing

Minecraft:Water bottles can be fished up as junk items.

Trading

Minecraft:Wandering traders can sell 1 extended Minecraft:potion of Invisibility for 5 Minecraft:emeralds. Template:Trade sources

Cauldrons

Template:Main A glass bottle can be Template:Control on a filled Minecraft:cauldron to fill it with water, making a Minecraft:water bottle. This drops the water level in the cauldron by one. Template:IN, a cauldron can hold 1 to 3 bottles of any potion, which can be picked up by the same method to fill the bottle with the corresponding potion.

Water

A glass bottle can also be Template:Control on a Minecraft:water source block to fill it with water. This does not affect the water source block.

Usage

Potions are used by pressing and holding Template:Control with the potion bottle in hand, as with all consumable items. When consumed, they bestow the corresponding Minecraft:status effect upon the player and return a Minecraft:glass bottle.

Drinking a potion while already under the effects of the same potion does not add onto the effect's duration, but simply resets it. A potion effect does not "downgrade" if a lower level is activated. For example, if a Minecraft:player has Minecraft:Regeneration II, drinking a regular potion of Regeneration does not have any effect.

Modifiers

Template:Main

Potions can be modified in five ways.

  1. Adding Minecraft:glowstone dust into certain potions enhances their level of effect.
  2. Adding Minecraft:redstone extends the duration of the effect.
  3. Adding Minecraft:gunpowder into a potion makes it a Minecraft:splash potion (area effect).
  4. Adding Minecraft:dragon's breath to a splash potion makes it a Minecraft:lingering potion (area effect that lingers on the ground).
  5. Adding a Minecraft:fermented spider eye into specific potions modifies their effect, usually inverting it; this is referred to as "corruption".

The modifications of enhancement and extension are mutually exclusive.

Enhancing most potions trades some of its duration for a bigger effect. For example, the base Regeneration lasts for 44 seconds whereas Regeneration II lasts for only 22 seconds but heals more per tick during that time.

Extending a potion generally makes it last Template:Frac times as long as its base potion, so a duration of 3 minutes becomes 8 minutes.

Corruption

The usual result of corruption is to invert the potion's effect (for example Swiftness becomes Slowness). However:

Corrupting an extended or enhanced potion results in a corrupted potion with the same modifier, if it is supported by the corrupted effect. The only exception to this is the enhanced potion of Slowness, which cannot be brewed by corrupting an enhanced potion of Swiftness or Leaping. All of the corrupted potions except Harming can be extended, but only Harming and Slowness can be enhanced.

Base potions

Base potions are potions that have no effect when the player drinks them, but are necessary as the basis for other potions.

Undead mobs

The effects given by potions of Healing and Harming are reversed on Minecraft:undead mobs. Potions of Healing deal damage, and Harming heals them. In addition, undead mobs are not affected by Poison or Regeneration.

Template:IN, hitting an undead mob with a Regeneration Potion always registers as Regeneration I, no matter the level of the used potion.

Mud conversion

Using a water bottle, splash water bottle, or lingering water bottle on Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:coarse dirt, or Minecraft:rooted dirt converts it into Minecraft:mud, returning a Minecraft:glass bottle with it. This process can be automated with a Minecraft:dispenser.

Filling cauldrons with potions

Template:IN, using a potion bottle on a Minecraft:cauldron empties the potion into it and fills the cauldron by Template:Frac of its capacity. Using a glass bottle on a cauldron filled with a potion drains it by Template:Frac and fills the bottle. A single cauldron can store up to three potions of the same type. Different potions cannot be combined in a cauldron, nor can they be mixed with any other substance. Minecraft:Arrows can be also tipped when used on a cauldron containing potion. A single portion of potion can tip 16 arrows at once, while a full cauldron can tip a stack of arrows at once.

Uncraftable potion

Template:IN, the uncraftable potion is a potion with no effect that is unobtainable in Minecraft:Survival. It is also available in splash potion and lingering potion forms, as well as for tipped arrows.

Uncraftable potions have the same texture as Minecraft:water bottles.

It can be obtained using the following command: Template:Command. It is also obtained when a potion has invalid or missing potion effect tags, and thus serves as a placeholder.

Custom effects

Template:Main Template:IN, potions can also be obtained with any status effect using Template:Cmd and the potion_contents data component.

Trivia

  • When a player drinks two potions by quickly switching to another potion immediately after drinking one, the second drinking animation is not shown.Template:Verify
  • A Minecraft:potion of Poison II lasts for 22.5 seconds, but it is displayed as 22 seconds because the Minecraft:item hover display shows rounded-down integer values.
  • The "Local Brewery" Minecraft:advancement uses the uncraftable potion texture for its icon.

Unused potions

Minecraft:Bedrock Edition has unused potion textures for several Minecraft:effects, along with their splash variants. These effects are: Minecraft:Absorption, Minecraft:Blindness, Minecraft:Haste, Minecraft:Health Boost, Hunger, Minecraft:Mining Fatigue, Minecraft:Nausea, Minecraft:Resistance, Saturation, and Minecraft:Levitation, as well as the Minecraft:Luck potion textures also present in Minecraft:Java Edition. These unused textures were added along with the other potion textures in Minecraft:Pocket Edition v0.12.1 alpha, except for the potion of Levitation, which was added in Minecraft:Pocket Edition 1.0.0. The textures were changed along with the other potion textures during the Minecraft:texture update in Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 1.10.0. Strangely, the potion of levitation texture is a duplicate of the splash potion of levitation texture.
