Wind Charging

Brewing ingredient: Breeze Rod. Affected mobs emit a wind burst when killed.

How to brew potions

Build a brewing stand, fuel it with blaze powder, and add water bottles. Most effect potions start with an Awkward Potion brewed using nether wart. Add the ingredient shown beside each potion to get the effect. Weakness is an exception: you can brew it using a fermented spider eye directly with a water bottle.

Potion ingredients and conversions

Night Vision uses a golden carrot and can be corrupted with fermented spider eye to make Invisibility. Swiftness uses sugar; corrupting a suitable Swiftness or Leaping potion produces Slowness. Healing uses glistering melon; corrupt a suitable Healing or Poison potion to create Harming. Try Fire Resistance from magma cream for lava exploration, Water Breathing from pufferfish for oceans, and Slow Falling from phantom membrane for End travel.

Splash, lingering, stronger and longer potions

These are modifications to existing potions, not four independent effects. Add gunpowder to create a splash potion, dragon's breath to a splash potion to create a lingering potion, redstone to extend compatible potions or glowstone dust to strengthen compatible effects. Not every potion supports every modification. Newer potions include Infestation (stone), Oozing (slime block), Weaving (cobweb), and Wind Charging (breeze rod).

Build a potion shopping checklist

Choose useful effects for your next trip and save them to Checklist, along with the ingredient notes. Combine this with the Minecraft survival checklist for a full preparation plan.

Minecraft Potions Frequently Asked Questions

How many Minecraft effect potions can you brew?

The current vanilla reference here covers 19 brewable effect types; splash, lingering and potency/duration variations are modifications, not separate effects.

What do I need before making most potions?

Water bottles, brewing stand fueled with blaze powder, nether wart for awkward potion and the individual effect ingredient.

How do I make a splash potion?

Brew the base potion and add gunpowder; dragon's breath can turn a splash potion into a lingering potion.
