How to make a Potion of Weakness in Minecraft 1.19

In this video I will show you how to  make Minecraft potion of weakness.   Did you know you can get a potion of  weakness without brewing it first?   The basement hidden underneath an igloo contains  one potion of weakness in a brewing stand,  

And an igloo will naturally generate in  a snowy biome – either snowy tundra or   the snowy taiga – but not snowy mountains, ice  spikes, snowy tiger hills, or other variants.   And only half of igloos that you find will  contain that hidden trapdoor under the carpet  

That leads down to the basement, so if you find  an igloo that doesn’t have one – keep searching.   You’ll be able to find a potion of weakness  for free. However before you go searching   for a personal weakness, or brewing one  – which I’ll show you how to do shortly,  

It’s very important to know how the potion  works so you can make effective use of it.   The weakness potion was added to Minecraft in the  1.4.2 update as part of the 12w34a snapshot back   in August 2012. This is the same update that the  invisibility potion was introduced, which I have  

A really popular video for – and I’ll link that in  the end screen. I think you’ll like it. There are   two versions of the potion of weakness – one that  lasts one minute 30 seconds, and the potion of   weakness plus that lasts four minutes. The portion  of weakness will decrease your melee attack  

Damage. As of the 1.9 update in 2015, it was  changed so that decreases four points of damage –   which means two hearts less damage than what you  would normally do to an enemy with melee attack.  

Interestingly, on Bedrock it looks like it only  does half a point of damage – which is a quarter   of a heart – which is exactly what it was for Java  before the 1.9 update. So a potion of weakness has  

A much more significant impact on your ability  to fight in Java edition, as opposed to Bedrock.   However that’s not what most players will use  it for, because it’s quite a negative effect.   The most common use for a potion of weakness is to  convert a zombie villager into a regular villager.  

Apart from being a very nice thing to do  (I guess), doing so gives you significant   discounts when trading with that villager.  So the process of using a weakness potion   on a zombie villager is often integrated into  trading hall designs, along with a golden apple.  

You throw a weakness potion onto them and  then you give them a golden apple to eat,   and shortly afterwards they will convert back  into a regular villager. So now, how do you make a   Minecraft potion of weakness? Well, it’s actually  one of the simpler portions available. And if you  

Have any questions about this or anything else  that I’ve said so far, drop a comment below and   I’ll do my best to answer you – and why not share  this with a friend if you’re finding it useful?  

So here’s how to make the potion of weakness.  Make a glass bottle and fill it with water,   then put it into a brewing stand. For  optimal efficiency brew three at a time   as it uses the same number of resources to do  so. And then – and this is where it differs from  

Every other potion – normally you would add your  Netherwart to start off the potion in the game,   but don’t do this for a potion of weakness.  Instead, just add a fermented spider eye to the   three water bottles. This will give you a potion  of weakness that lasts one and a half minutes.

You can increase the duration by adding Redstone,   giving a potion of weakness  plus – lasting four minutes.   You can then convert this into a splash function  if you like using Gunpowder. This is important if  

You wish to apply the effect to a villager to cure  them from being a zombified villager. Note – keep   this in mind! You do NOT need the longer lasting  plus version to cure zombie villager. Converting   the cheaper one and a half minute version  into a splash function is more than enough.
