Times as Java Edition 26.3 gives them, for the bottle chosen above: a lingering potion gives 1/4 of the time, a tipped arrow 1/8. The small icons mark the bottle brewed longer with Redstone and the one brewed stronger with Glowstone.

Coming in Java Edition 26.4

  • Potion of Freezing

    Brew it from Awkward Potion + Ice Ball: it gives Freezing (0:45). With Redstone Dust, it lasts 1:30.

    Ice Ball · Dropped by: Frostbite.

From 26.4 Snapshot 3, a test version Mojang releases ahead of 26.4: what it brews can still change.

Base potions

  • Water Bottle

    Fill a Glass Bottle at any water. Every potion starts from it.

  • Awkward Potion

    Water Bottle + Nether Wart: the base of almost every potion. On its own, it does nothing.

  • Mundane Potion

    Water Bottle + any of 12 other ingredients (Blaze Powder, Breeze Rod, Cobweb, Ghast Tear, Glistering Melon Slice, Magma Cream, Rabbit's Foot, Redstone Dust, Slime Block, Spider Eye, Stone, and Sugar). It does nothing and brews into nothing.

  • Thick Potion

    Water Bottle + Glowstone Dust. It does nothing and brews into nothing.

  • Potion of Luck

    No recipe brews it: it only comes from the Creative inventory or from commands.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make potions in Minecraft?
Craft a brewing stand — a Blaze Rod above three Cobblestone, Blackstone or Cobbled Deepslate — and fuel it with Blaze Powder, which lasts 20 brews. Put up to three Water Bottles in it, add Nether Wart to make Awkward Potions, then the ingredient of the potion you want: Sugar for Swiftness, a Golden Carrot for Night Vision, Magma Cream for Fire Resistance. Each brew takes 20 seconds.
How do you make a Potion of Weakness?
Put a Fermented Spider Eye in a Water Bottle: it is the only potion brewed without Nether Wart. It lasts 1:30, or 4:00 with Redstone Dust. With Gunpowder it becomes a Splash Potion of Weakness, which, with a Golden Apple, cures a Zombie Villager.
What do Redstone and Glowstone do to a potion?
Redstone Dust makes a potion last longer: Swiftness goes from 3:00 to 8:00. Glowstone Dust makes it stronger, level II, for less time: Swiftness II lasts 1:30. A potion takes one or the other, not both.
How long do lingering potions and tipped arrows last?
A lingering potion’s cloud gives a quarter of the potion’s time and a tipped arrow an eighth: Swiftness lasts 3:00 drunk, 0:45 from a cloud and 0:22 from an arrow. Eight arrows around one lingering potion on a crafting table make eight tipped arrows.
How much Blaze Powder does brewing take?
One Blaze Powder fuels 20 brews, and each brew turns up to three bottles. Three Splash Potions of Swiftness take three brews — Nether Wart, Sugar, then Gunpowder — so one Blaze Powder is plenty. The Potion of Strength also uses Blaze Powder as its ingredient.
