Minecraft brewing chart for Java 26.3
Every potion a brewing stand makes in Java 26.3, starting from a Water Bottle, with the ingredients in the order you add them. Add Gunpowder at the end for a splash potion, then Dragon's Breath for a lingering one. The table comes from brewing every potion with every ingredient on a real 26.3 server; change the version at the top of the page to see another.

How to use the Brewing Recipe Generator
Find out how to brew any potion in your version of Minecraft Java: the ingredients in order, how many of each, and how to turn it into a splash or lingering potion or tipped arrows. There are 44 potions to brew in Java 26.3, and every step here was checked by brewing it on a real server. From 26.3 you can also add your own brewing recipes with a data pack.
Quick steps
- 1Pick the potion, then Long or Strong if it has them
- 2Pick the bottle: a normal potion, splash, lingering or tipped arrows
- 3Follow the steps: each one is one ingredient on top of up to 3 bottles
- 4Or copy the /give command to get the finished potion straight away
Example use cases
- Getting ready for the Nether with Fire Resistance (3:00, or longer with Redstone)
- Stocking splash potions of Healing for a fight, or tipped arrows for a bow
- Making a potion that can't be brewed, such as the Potion of Luck, brewable on your server with a custom recipe
Tips
Brew 3 bottles at once: one ingredient works on all three, so it costs the same as one
Redstone makes a potion last longer and Glowstone makes it stronger; a potion can't have both
Add Gunpowder last: the effect ingredients work the same on splash bottles, but there's no reason to convert early
A Fermented Spider Eye corrupts a potion into its opposite, like Night Vision into Invisibility
Frequently asked questions
What do you need to brew potions in Minecraft?
A brewing stand, Blaze Powder to fuel it (one powder lasts 20 brews), Glass Bottles filled with water, and the ingredients. Almost every potion starts with Nether Wart, which turns Water Bottles into Awkward Potions. Each brew takes 20 seconds and works on up to 3 bottles at once.
How do you make a Potion of Fire Resistance in Minecraft?
Start with Water Bottles in a brewing stand and add Nether Wart and Magma Cream, in that order, one brew each (Java 26.3).
How do you make a Potion of Invisibility in Minecraft?
Start with Water Bottles in a brewing stand and add Nether Wart, Golden Carrot and Fermented Spider Eye, in that order, one brew each (Java 26.3).
How do you make a Potion of Healing II in Minecraft?
Start with Water Bottles in a brewing stand and add Nether Wart, Glistering Melon Slice and Glowstone Dust, in that order, one brew each (Java 26.3).
How do you make a Potion of Night Vision in Minecraft?
Start with Water Bottles in a brewing stand and add Nether Wart and Golden Carrot, in that order, one brew each (Java 26.3).
How do you make a splash or lingering potion?
Brew the potion first, then add Gunpowder to make it a Splash Potion. Add Dragon's Breath to a Splash Potion to make it a Lingering Potion. A lingering potion's cloud gives 25% of the potion's duration (Java 26.3).
How do you make tipped arrows?
Put 8 arrows around one Lingering Potion in a crafting table to get 8 tipped arrows of that potion. Their effect lasts 13% of the potion's duration (Java 26.3).
Which potions can't be brewed?
In Java 26.3, no brewing stand recipe makes Potion of Luck. You can still get it with a /give command, or from 26.3 make it brewable with a custom recipe in a data pack.
Can you add custom brewing recipes in Minecraft?
Yes, from Java 26.3. Brewing became recipe data in that version, so a data pack can add a brewing recipe: a bottle and the potion in it, an ingredient, and the bottle and potion it turns into. This tool builds the data pack for you. Older versions can't add brewing recipes without mods.
