To make splash potions in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Brew a regular potion first: Use a brewing stand to create the base potion you want (e.g., Potion of Healing, Potion of Poison, Potion of Weakness). This involves combining water bottles with ingredients like nether wart and other specific items depending on the potion type.
- Add gunpowder to the brewing stand: Once you have your regular potion, place it back into the brewing stand's bottom slot(s).
- Add gunpowder in the top slot: Put gunpowder in the top slot of the brewing stand. This will convert the regular potion into a splash potion, which can be thrown to affect mobs or players on impact.
- Wait for the brewing process to complete: After a short brewing time, the regular potion will turn into a splash potion, indicated by a change in the bottle's shape.
- Collect your splash potion: Move the splash potion to your inventory for use.
Splash potions can be thrown to apply their effects to others without drinking them, making them useful for combat or utility purposes like putting out fires with splash water bottles
. For example, to make a Splash Potion of Weakness:
- Brew a Potion of Weakness by combining water bottles with a fermented spider eye in the brewing stand.
- Then add gunpowder to the Potion of Weakness in the brewing stand to convert it into a splash potion
Remember, you need blaze powder to fuel the brewing stand during the process
