Minecraft Potion Recipes and Command Generator
This tool combines a complete brewing guide with a Java Edition potion command generator. Browse all 19 Survival-brewable effect families, the Water, Awkward, Mundane and Thick bases, and the edition-exclusive potions that cannot be brewed. Select a potion to see its exact ingredient chain instead of working backwards through a static chart.
Every brewable result can be viewed as a drinkable Potion, Splash Potion, Lingering Potion or Tipped Arrow. The duration readout adjusts for each form and shows the Java and Bedrock values separately where the editions differ. The command generator creates version-compatible Java Edition items with vanilla contents or a custom combination of status effects, including custom levels, durations, colors, names and stack amounts.

Minecraft Potion Recipes and Commands FAQ
How do I brew potions in Minecraft?
Fill Glass Bottles with Water, place them in a Brewing Stand, and add Nether Wart to make Awkward Potions. Add an effect ingredient next, then use optional modifiers for duration, strength or bottle type.
What do Redstone and Glowstone do to potions?
Redstone Dust extends a supported effect, while Glowstone Dust increases its level. These modifiers are mutually exclusive, and some potion families support only one or neither.
How do I make Splash and Lingering Potions?
Add Gunpowder to a potion to make its Splash form. Then add Dragon's Breath to that Splash Potion to make a Lingering Potion.
How do I craft tipped arrows?
In Java Edition, place a matching Lingering Potion in the center of a Crafting Table and surround it with eight Arrows. The recipe produces eight tipped arrows.
Can every potion be brewed in Survival?
No. Luck in Java Edition and Decay in Bedrock Edition have no Brewing Stand recipe. The Uncraftable Potion is fallback Java data with no useful effect.
Can I generate a custom potion command?
Yes. The command generator creates Java Edition give commands for brewed potions or multiple custom effects, with controls for bottle type, level, duration, color, name, amount and Minecraft version.
