Ingredients
There is no provided in-game recipe book for brewing.
Base ingredients and modifiers
Base ingredients are ingredients that can be added directly to a water bottle. Nether warts are used to make awkward potions, and are the fundamental of the base ingredients, as it is required to make the 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 as it is the only modifier that can convert a water bottle directly into a usable Minecraft:potion.
| Name | Icon | When added to water bottle | When added as a modifier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Template:AnchorNether wart | Template:Inventory slot | Awkward potion | — |
| Template:AnchorRedstone dust | Template:Inventory slot | Mundane potion | Extends the duration of a potion. |
| Template:AnchorGlowstone dust | Template:Inventory slot | Thick potion | Increases the level of a potion. |
| Template:AnchorFermented spider eye | Template:Inventory slot | Minecraft:Potion of Weakness | Changes the effect of a potion. |
| Template:AnchorMinecraft:Gunpowder | Template:Inventory slot | Splash water bottle | Turns a potion into a splash potion. |
| Template:AnchorDragon's breath | Template:Inventory slot | Lingering water bottle (from splash water bottle) |
Turns a splash potion into a lingering 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:
- Upgrading the effect of a potion that has no time parameter (e.g. Instant Health) with glowstone dust involves no trade-off.
- Increasing the time of a potion that has no effects with different levels (e.g. Fire Resistance) with redstone dust involves no trade-off.
Corrupting effect
A fermented spider eye changes a potion's base effect, often reversing it or producing a negative potion.
- A corrupted potion usually does the opposite of the original effect.
- Corrupting an enhanced or extended potion into an effect that supports the modifier results in a potion with the same modifier applied.
- Enhanced potions of Leaping or Swiftness cannot be corrupted.
- Template:IN, potions of Strength II corrupt into regular potions of Weakness.
- A potion of Invisibility is considered the "corrupted" version of a potion of Night Vision.
Splash and lingering potions
By adding gunpowder, a drinking potion can be turned into a splash potion, which can be thrown to coat entities within the place of impact with a status effect. Subsequently, adding dragon's breath to a splash potion makes a lingering potion, creating a cloud that inflicts effects on entities that enter its area.
- Splash potions and lingering potions can be modified in the same manner as their normal counterparts. For instance, a splash water bottle can be brewed with any of the base ingredients; the result remains a splash potion.
- The lingering potions can also be used to craft their respective versions of tipped arrows.
- Template:IN there is an easier way of using cauldrons for the same effect.
- Splash potions have the same duration as the drinkable form.
- Lingering potions have only one-fourth of the duration of the drinkable form. For instance, a drinkable potion effect of 8:00 is reduced to 2:00 as a lingering potion.
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 the golden carrot, pufferfish, turtle shell, and phantom membrane, which cannot be added directly to a water bottle. A corrupted version of a potion can be made by adding a fermented spider eye to it.

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 create a potion with an effect.Template:Only

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.

Trivia
- Although Jeb said that in Minecraft:Java Edition Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 there would be 161 possible different potion combinations with 2,653 in the future, in the actual third pre-release only 22 different potions could be made without the use of external programs. Of those, 19 potions had one of 8 different effects.
- By modifying the Minecraft:item NBT using an editor or Minecraft:commands, it is possible to get a potion that cannot be upgraded into a splash potion.
