Potions are brewable items that can give the player potion effects for an amount of time.
Obtaining
Crafting
Empty bottles, which are a type of potion, can be crafted using three pieces of glass.
Filling Bottles
An empty bottle can be filled using a water block or filled cauldron to create a bottle of water, another type of potion.
Fishing
It is possible to catch a bottle of water while fishing using a fishing rod.
Brewing
Main article: Brewing
Different types of potions can be obtained by brewing. This involves inserting a base potion, giving a fuel and an input, and receiving an output potion. The first base potion you need when you are trying to brew any potion is the bottle of water.
Commands
This table shows what different types of potions will give. Not specifying a type will give a "potion" which cannot be drunk or used as a base.
For example, to obtain a strength II potion the player would type: /give potion 1 0 {type:"strength2"}

Bugs

Trivia
