Brewing Stand & Base Ingredients
Brewing stand: 3 cobblestone+1 blaze rod (rods from nether blazes). Put water bottles on top, blaze powder as fuel. Brewing process: base material = awkward potion + secondary material = effect potion + modifier (glowstone/redstone/gunpowder/dragon breath).
Positive Effect Potion Recipes
Speed (sugar, +20% speed), Jump Boost (rabbit foot, +0.5 blocks), Strength (blaze powder, +3 hearts melee), Regeneration (ghast tear, +1 heart/2.5s), Fire Resistance (magma cream, immune to fire), Water Breathing (pufferfish, no oxygen drain), Night Vision (golden carrot, see in darkness), Slow Falling (phantom membrane, no fall damage).
Negative & Utility Potions
Poison (spider eye), Weakness (fermented spider eye, -4 attack), Slowness (sugar+fermented spider eye, -15% speed), Harming (glistering melon+fermented spider eye, 6 hearts instant). Fermented spider eye corrupts positive potions into negative versions.
Batch Brewing Tips
One brewing operation handles up to 3 bottles. Efficiency: stock a chest of water bottles (right-click water source with glass bottles). Brew 3 at a time: first nether wart -> 3 awkward potions, then material -> 3 effect potions. For splash: add gunpowder last. Full automation uses hopper chains + droppers + brewing stand redstone control.
