Follow the Steps to Brew Potions in Minecraft

You must travel to the Nether in order to begin the procedure of making potions in Minecraft because many ingredients are only available there. Nether is extremely hazardous, especially for rookie players. While in the Nether, think about changing the game’s difficulty to “Peaceful” to prevent dying before obtaining Ghast tears, Magma Cream, Blaze rods, and Blaze Powder.

1. Collect Nether Ingredients

Nether Wart: mushroom-like ingredient you will find in Nether strongholds. On soul sand, it grows.

Blaze Rods: When killed, blazes release blaze rods. For Blazes to spawn, you must raise the difficulty setting to “Easy.”

Soul Sand: Grab some of these brown blocks that appear to have faces trapped inside if you want to produce more Nether Wart in the Overworld.

1. Then it’s time to return to the Overworld and build a brewing stand, then set it down on the ground.
2. The next step is to craft Glass Bottles. Open the crafting table and set three glass blocks –  in the middle-left, bottom-middle, and middle-right squares and you are ready to move the three glass bottles into your inventory. 
3. Place a blazing rod in any square on the crafting table, then move the blaze powder into your inventory.
4. Secondary Ingredients: Base potions are inert and require the addition of another ingredient to produce any effects. What kind of potion you make depends depend on the ingredients you use. 

Here is the list of secondary ingredients you need – Spider Eye, Glistering Melon, Golden Carrot, Fermented Spider Eye, Pufferfish, Sugar, Blaze Powder, Magma Cream, Ghast Tear, Turtle Shell Rabbit’s Foot, Phantom Membrane.

5. Also collect the potion modifiers: Redstone, Glowstone Dust, Gunpowder, Fermented Spider Eye, and Dragon’s Breath.
6. Fill the glass bottles you have. Find a water source (such as a body of water or a cauldron filled with water), equip glass bottles, and choose the water to fill the bottles with. You can start creating potions once you have a stack of three bottles.

2. Brewing Potion

1. Open the brewing stand.
2. Your water bottles should be put on the stand. To fit your bottles into the “three squares” at the bottom of the page, click and drag them there.

Tap a square in Minecraft PE, then tap the water bottle symbol on the page’s left side. Press Y or Triangle when the water bottle is selected (for the console version).

3. Put the Nether wart in the square at the top of the crafting page.
4. Add some flame powder. In the brewing stand window, click and drag blazing powder to the top-left square. By doing this, the “Awkward Potion” basic potion will start to brew.

In Minecraft PE, omit this step. Simply press Y or Triangle when the blazing powder is selected (for the console version).

5. Restock the brewing stand with the awkward potion or potions. You can alter the Awkward Potion by adding an additional ingredient after using it as a base.
6. Add a secondary component. Put the second item in the square at the top of the brewing stand, like a rabbit foot, for example. Once more, the potion will start to boil. Your initial batch of blaze powder ought to last for 20 brew cycles.
7. You should keep the potion in your inventory. The time has come to consume your potion.
8. To make the desired potions, add your secondary component. Place an ingredient from the list below in the top square of the brewing grid along with the three awkward potions in the bottom section to create the potion you want:
