The Starter Potion Recipe

Before we start choosing the recipe you need to know how a potion is first made. You need to have an Awkward Potion, Splash Potion, Lingering Potion, Mundane potion or Thick potion. These will then create different recipes. Think of them as the base of the potion.

You need one of these potions to then carry on down the line to create the end potion, the finished one with the effects you require.

Awkward Potion

The most common potion as this can create almost all recipes from this potion.  You most likely will need an awkward potion to get started.

Add your blaze powder to your brewing stand to fuel it and add the two ingredients below.

Awkward Potion Recipe

• 1 glass water bottle
• 1 nether wart

Splash Potion

This is if you want to make a splash potion version of any other potions. Add the ingredients below, then follow with the rest of the potion recipe. you can also upgrade this to a lingering potion by following the steps after the ingredients.

Splash Potion Recipe

• 1 glass water bottle
• 1 gunpowder

Lingering Potion Recipe

Follow the splash recipe above, once brewed then brew again with a bottle of dragon’s breath to change a splash potion to a lingering potion.

Mundane & Thick Potion

These potions are relatively useless in Minecraft. We don’t have any recipes in this list that need them. Comment down in the comment section if you have some good uses for them?

Mundane Potion Recipe

• 1 glass water bottle
• Either one of these: Sipder eye, Blaze powder, redstone, sugar, mgma cream, gold watermelon, ghast tear.
