Minecraft Brewing Chart — How to Brew Every Potion
Minecraft brewing is confusing at first. Most potions start from an Awkward Potion (water + Nether Wart), but some are brewed from other potions via Fermented Spider Eye corruption (Invisibility from Night Vision, Harming from Healing/Poison, Slowness from Swiftness/Leaping). Weakness is unusual — brewed directly from water.
This interactive chart walks you through the exact sequence for every potion in Minecraft Java 1.21 — including the four new 1.21 Trial Chamber potions (Oozing, Weaving, Wind Charged, Infested). Pick any potion and see the step-by-step recipe chain from water bottle to final brew.
Every potion can be modified: Redstone extends duration, Glowstone upgrades to Level II (cannot combine), Gunpowder converts to Splash (throwable), Dragon's Breath converts Splash to Lingering (area-effect cloud). The chart shows which modifiers work with which potions — some like Healing can't be extended because they're instant.
Data verified against the Minecraft Wiki brewing documentation. Recipe names, ingredients, durations, and max levels all match the current game.
Minecraft Brewing Chart — FAQ
What is the base potion in Minecraft?
The Awkward Potion — made by adding Nether Wart to a Water Bottle in a Brewing Stand. This is the universal base for almost every effect potion. A few potions (like Weakness) are brewed directly from Water Bottles with Fermented Spider Eye.
How do you make a Potion of Invisibility?
Brew a Night Vision Potion first (Awkward Potion + Golden Carrot), then add a Fermented Spider Eye to convert it to Invisibility. Add Redstone afterward to extend the duration from 3:00 to 8:00.
What does Fermented Spider Eye corrupt?
Fermented Spider Eye converts positive potions to their negative counterparts: Night Vision → Invisibility, Swiftness/Leaping → Slowness, Healing → Harming, Poison → Harming. It's also brewed directly with water to make Weakness Potion.
Can you combine Extended duration with Level II?
No. Redstone (extends duration) and Glowstone (upgrades to Level II) are mutually exclusive. You have to choose one. Extended = longer lower-power effect, Level II = shorter stronger effect.
What are the new 1.21 potions?
Minecraft 1.21 (Tricky Trials) added four new potions from Trial Chambers: Oozing (spawns slimes on death), Weaving (drops cobwebs from killed entities), Wind Charged (wind burst on damage), and Infested (chance to spawn silverfish). Recipe ingredients: Slime Block, String, Breeze Rod, Stone respectively.
How do I make Splash or Lingering potions?
Brew any regular potion first, then add Gunpowder to convert it to Splash (throwable). From Splash, add Dragon's Breath to convert to Lingering (creates an area-effect cloud). Lingering requires killing the Ender Dragon first to get Dragon's Breath.
What potions are worth having in my brewing station?
Essentials: Healing II (combat), Regeneration II (boss fights), Strength II (damage boost), Swiftness (travel), Fire Resistance (Nether), Water Breathing (oceans), Slow Falling (end cities/parkour). Splash versions of Healing and Regeneration for healing teammates.
