BREWING POTIONS
GENERAL GUIDE
By placing bottles in the lower three slots of the brewing interface and an ingredient in the upper slot, you can distill the ingredient into the bottles and brew potions which may be consumed to grant an effect to the player. Every Potion starts with a water bottle, made by filling a Glass Bottle at a water source or filled Cauldron. The next step is to add a primary ingredient to create a base potion, which itself has no effect. By brewing a second ingredient into a base potion in the same manner as you would a water bottle, you can create a potion with a working effect. A third ingredient may be added to make the effect more intense or last longer, or turn the effect harmful. Finally, Gunpowder can be added to a potion at any stage to convert it to a Splash Potion, which can be thrown to disperse its effect in a radius. Each brewing step takes 20 seconds. Brewing is a very helpful asset in minecraft, and many potions will help you in combat while others just help you see at night. Apart from being quite hard to get them started because of the blaze rod and nether wart they are generally quite easy to craft and a very helpful thing to have at all times.

BREWING EQUIPMENT
INGREDIENTS
BASE INGREDIENTS
Base ingredients are the starting point of all potions. Nether Wart is the primary ingredient added to water bottles at this stage, as it is required to make most of the potions. All other base ingredients will only allow the creation of variations of "Potion of Weakness".
SECONDARY INGREDIENTS
Secondary ingredients imbue an Awkward Potion with a particular effect but do not alter potion duration or intensity. When added directly to a Water Bottle, any of these ingredients will produce a Mundane Potion (with the exception of fermented spider eye, which results in a potion of weakness).
MODIFIERS
Modifiers change the potion's properties. The "longer duration" and "more potent" versions of a potion can be forever interchanged.
