Advanced Tips

When brewing potions, always carry milk buckets to remove all status effects if needed. Automating potion brewing can save time and effort. You can use hoppers to automate ingredient placement, fuel refilling, and potion collection. You can also make tipped arrows with potions, applying the potion effect when the arrow hits.

Fun Facts

Healing potions harm undead mobs, while harming potions heal them. You can also do certain brewing steps out of order, like using the fermented spider eye on a potion that’s already had an increased duration or effect.
