Brewing is the process for making potions. You drink potions to give you  temporary effects.

If you are in survival you will need some equipment to start brewing:

If you want to start brewing you need some base ingredients, and base potions:

Base Ingredients

  • Nether Wart: grows on soul sand. Found under staircases, and in loot chests in Nether Fortresses.
  • Glowstone dust: mine glowstone in the Nether to get it.
  • Redstone: found in redstone ore blocks.
  • Fermented Spider Eye: Spiders may drop their eyes when killed. Craft it from spider eye, sugar, and brown mushroom.

Base Potions

  • Awkward potion ( used in all potions, except potion of weakness ): add Nether Wart, to three water bottles, to make three awkward potions.
  • Thick potion ( currently does not have any use ): add glowstone dust to three water bottles, to make three dust potions.
  • Mundane potion ( currently does not have any use ): add redstone to three water bottles, to make three mundane potions.
  • Potion of Weakness: add fermented spider eye to three water bottles, to make three potions of weakness.

Now you can start brewing potions. Use the potions you brew to help you survive.
