How To Make A Mundane Potion In Minecraft

Ingredients Needed

In order to create a mundane potion in Minecraft, you will need the following ingredients:

• Glass Bottles: These will serve as the containers for the potions. You can obtain these by smelting sand in a furnace.
• Blaze Powder: This is an essential ingredient for brewing. Blaze powder can be obtained by killing Blazes, which are found in Nether Fortresses.
• Water Bottles: These can be crafted by filling glass bottles with water from any water source block.
• Nether Warts: Nether warts are the base ingredient for brewing potions. They can be found in Nether Fortresses, usually in small patches on Soul Sand.

These are the primary ingredients you will need to create a mundane potion. Once you have gathered them all, you can proceed with the brewing process.

Step 1: Obtaining a Brewing Stand

The first step in making a mundane potion in Minecraft is to obtain a brewing stand. The brewing stand is a fundamental tool for creating potions and is required for the brewing process.

To obtain a brewing stand, you will need the following materials:

• Blaze Rods: Blaze rods are dropped by Blazes when they are defeated. Blazes can be found in Nether Fortresses.
• Cobblestone: Cobblestone is a basic building material that can be obtained by mining stone with a pickaxe.

Once you have gathered these materials, follow these steps to craft a brewing stand:

1. Open your crafting table.
2. Place 3 cobblestone in the bottom row of the crafting grid.
3. Place 1 blaze rod in the center square of the middle row.
4. Drag the brewing stand from the crafting table into your inventory.

Now that you have successfully obtained a brewing stand, you are ready to move on to the next step of brewing a mundane potion.

Step 2: Collecting the Base Ingredient

In order to brew a mundane potion in Minecraft, you will need to collect the base ingredient known as Nether Wart. Nether Wart is a plant that can only be found in Nether Fortresses, specifically on Soul Sand.

To collect Nether Wart, follow these steps:

1. Equip yourself with a pickaxe, preferably an iron or diamond one, to mine the Soul Sand.
2. Enter the Nether dimension by creating a Nether Portal using Obsidian blocks.
3. Explore the Nether until you come across a Nether Fortress which is characterized by its dark, imposing structure.
4. Once inside the fortress, look for patches of Soul Sand. Nether Wart is usually found growing in small clusters on top of the Soul Sand.
5. Use your pickaxe to mine the Soul Sand and collect the Nether Wart.
6. Continue exploring the fortress to gather more Nether Wart if needed.

It’s worth noting that Nether Fortresses can be dangerous, so be prepared for hostile mobs such as Blazes and Wither Skeletons. Equip yourself with appropriate armor and weapons for protection.

Once you have collected a sufficient amount of Nether Wart, you are ready to proceed to the next step of brewing the mundane potion.

Step 3: Brewing the Mundane Potion

Now that you have obtained the necessary ingredients, it’s time to brew the mundane potion. Follow these steps to create the potion:

1. Place the brewing stand on a solid surface, such as a table or the ground.
2. Right-click on the brewing stand to open the brewing interface.
3. Fill the top three slots of the brewing stand with water bottles. You can do this by dragging the water bottles from your inventory into the slots.
4. Place the Nether Warts in the top slot of the brewing stand’s ingredient slot. This will act as the base ingredient for the mundane potion.
5. Wait for the Nether Warts to brew. The brewing progress bar will fill up, indicating the progress of the brewing process.
6. Once the Nether Warts have finished brewing, the water bottles will turn into awkward potions, which are the base for creating various other potions.

At this stage, you have successfully brewed the mundane potion base. Now, in the next step, we will add secondary ingredients to transform it into a different and useful potion.

Remember to exercise patience during the brewing process, as it may take some time for the Nether Warts to brew into awkward potions.

Step 4: Adding Secondary Ingredients

With the awkward potion base ready, it’s time to add secondary ingredients to create a more potent and useful potion in Minecraft.

Here are the steps to add secondary ingredients:

1. Open the brewing stand interface by right-clicking on the brewing stand.
2. Take the awkward potion(s) from the brewing stand by dragging them into your inventory.
3. Decide which secondary ingredient you want to use. Secondary ingredients can vary depending on the potion you want to create. For example, to create a Potion of Healing, you can use a Glistering Melon as the secondary ingredient.
4. Place the secondary ingredient in the top slot of the brewing stand’s ingredient slot. This will combine with the awkward potion to create a new potion with enhanced effects.
5. Wait for the brewing process to complete. The progress bar will fill up, indicating the progress of the potion brewing.
6. Once the brewing process is complete, the water bottle(s) will transform into the desired potion with enhanced effects.

Experiment with different combinations of secondary ingredients to create a wide range of potions with various effects. Some examples of secondary ingredients and their effects include Glowstone Dust for increasing the potency of the potion and Redstone Dust for prolonging the potion’s duration.

With the addition of secondary ingredients, you have successfully transformed the mundane potion base into a more powerful and useful potion. Now, let’s move on to the final step of collecting the brewed potion.

Step 5: Collecting the Mundane Potion

After the brewing process is complete, it’s time to collect the mundane potion you have created to utilize its effects in Minecraft.

Follow these steps to collect the mundane potion:

1. Open the brewing stand interface by right-clicking on the brewing stand.
2. Take the finished potion(s) from the brewing stand by dragging them into your inventory.
3. The mundane potion will now be ready for use. To drink the potion, right-click on it while it is in your hotbar.
4. Enjoy the effects of the mundane potion in your Minecraft adventures!

Remember that mundane potions do not have any specific effects on their own. They are primarily used as a base for creating other, more powerful potions.

Feel free to experiment with different combinations of secondary ingredients and brewing techniques to create a wide variety of potions that can provide unique benefits in different situations.

Congratulations! You have successfully gone through the process of brewing a mundane potion and have collected the final product. Now, you can explore further possibilities in potion brewing and discover the full potential of potions in Minecraft.
