How to Make Potions in Minecraft! | Minecraft School | Tutorial Let’s Play | Lesson 14

Enchanting isn’t the only way to do magic in minecraft we can also make potions and that’s what we’re going to look at in detail today so hello everyone welcome to minecraft school my name is jd and i’m going to be your teacher today so we have some fairly straightforward

Objectives but we’re gonna have to do a lot of searching so our objectives are number one craft a brewing stand number two gather potion ingredients and three brew some potions that we will use in the future before i craft anything first thing we need to do is actually plant this nether wart

Because it’s not going to grow without being planted so i would like to put it around the nether portal itself and oh boy this uh this is a little bit too efficient be careful about that um so i’d like to put it in a few random spots around here let me just

Make it look kind of nice and i’ve got how many soul sands seven okay all right soul sand is down now let’s just plant another word i think i’ll put it all in one spot this is going to take a little while to grow so while we wait we’re going to go

Up and craft our brewing stand so it’s very very simple all you need are three cobblestone and a single blaze rod and there we go the other blaze rods we are going to be using as fuel so i think we’ll place it right here it’s kind of appropriate to put in the kitchen

So if we take a look here this is the user interface we put in fuel here which is blaze powder and we’ve got blaze rods over here is our ingredient and these will be water bottles now not always water bottles actually we first need to make awkward potions

And for that we absolutely need to have our netherwarts growing but first we need to have our water bottles made water bottles are very simple to make all you need is three of these and you get three water bottles i do want to have a lot more than that

But while we’re at it we may as well put these water bottles in here and they will stay here as you can see they’re they’re right there but we’ve got nothing coming in we still need this but i’m going to make uh let’s just make a couple of these

As uh blaze powder for now we’ll put one of them in here and now it’s powered so you can see that right here of course the most important thing is to fill the water bottles with water aha without the water you’re not gonna get a potion

Um so the base potion that we have to make is called awkward potion it really has no effect doesn’t do a thing but you need it to be able to make all but one potion there is one potion that uh you don’t need any kind of awkward potion

And that would happen to be the potion of weakness so let’s just put these water bottles in and it’ll be ready for us one of the potions that i want to brew happens to be one that requires carrots and uh i have one carrot

On me so that means i need to plant it and i think along this path should be fine so i’m going to be doing something similar to these and here we go our one carrot it’s not a very big area but you know i want to make this look slightly better

There we go that should be better now let’s check on our netherwart see if anything is growing yet oh look at that we got one so we’ve got two out of that one so we can plant this here and plant that there and we can wait for it to grow a bit more

Now in the meantime we do need to gather a lot of ingredients now i have some ingredients not a lot but uh i do have some in my inventory i’ve got puffer fish here we have redstone dust uh we have blaze powder this is another ingredient

And uh if we come down here i am not sure where i put the gas tier uh let’s see i’m gonna have to find that with the sun going down it’s time to head back to the nether we are going to gather a couple of ingredients from here

All right we are back in the nether and i do wish these endermen would leave me alone uh this is the wrong area for them i don’t know this is the right area for them we want to go somewhere a little bit different and see if we can find gast

Oh and look at that hold on we have one of the things we’re looking for a magma cube magma cubes are exactly what we need now what they do is they drop magma cream and magma cream is an ingredient for one of our potions and that would happen to be fire resistance

Which is extremely extremely helpful in the nether as you can see we’ve got a lot of these guys so let’s uh let’s use the sword and get them there we go so how many did we get one just one that’s unbelievable uh we need more than that

And of course the best place to find them is in whoa okay okay we found the other thing we want see if we can return to center nope that didn’t work okay so we’ve got hopefully hopefully a guest here but i don’t see one nope let’s uh

Oh yeah look at that we just hit it back let that pass by come on oh We are missing there we go oh yes return to sender that is one of those difficult uh achievements and did it drop a guest here anywhere ah i don’t see one uh hello no you you didn’t see a gas deer fall not down here let’s see no unfortunately

No guests here they’re being stingy today but you just got to keep trying so we’re back at this wonderful biome let’s see if we can go and grab one of those guys oh and actually regarding these stairs i do have or a comment of the day or a comment of the video

It’s by shadowwolf88 him in his survival world caesar cliff builds down me full send well i i only built down here just so i have a way of getting back up and that is very important and i hear a magma cube somewhere and we just want one

Of course there’s probably a lot up there but i did see one go over there i think we should probably check out that area all right we found the guy here let’s uh give it some space and come on there we go and the smaller guys are gonna come out

Let’s try to get them and well i should say the medium ones and time to get the small guys it’s a lot easier to use a sword oh and look at that we got one right there come on come on there we go be careful there is lava here

And oh hello there’s lava and this magma it’s magma that you can stand on but um you will receive some damage unless you have fire resistance which is why we are here to get some magma magma cream that is ah if only they would come up here

Why is it when you want guests to spawn they don’t i’ve been here for a while and haven’t seen a single one i’ve decided to come back over here to wait for some guests if they will appear i think i’m gonna have to be satisfied with just the two

Magma cream that’s fine that will make six potions and that’ll be fine for now but i want those gas tiers these gas tears are gonna come in very very handy when we go and fight the dragon may as well grab some more of this stuff

This is gonna be so important 12 of them yeah 12 is good all right where are the guests they don’t want to show they’re afraid of me while we’re waiting uh i thought i would make a little modification to this entrance i just want to make myself a bit of a shelter here

The reason for this is i want a spot where i can withdraw if i’m being attacked by an enderman uh we’re not gonna do that right now i still want guests you may be wondering what kind of drops we can get from piglens and zombified piglens well you definitely gonna get gold but

Um i don’t want to attack them they are vicious you attack one all of them will attack you definitely be nice to them finally we’ve got aghast guess what we did it again okay um we’re about to go into soul sand here and oh this is not

Easy and didn’t drop a thing did it yeah well guests well they have a chance of dropping gas tier and gunpowder and neither either one they do tend to spawn in uh soul sand valley but they also spawn in the nether wastes i prefer to be out here all right we got

Another gas let’s see if this guy will give us something oh he’s going way up there come on let’s go let’s go i did he just despawned well that’s that’s a dirty trick by him okay there’s another one there’s another one oh and look at him go

Not shooting high enough there we go got him let’s see if he dropped anything for us please oh wrong thing huh you see what he dropped was gunpowder what could be making it difficult for guests to spawn is just the sheer number of piglens and zombified piglens around here

There is a mob cap and if you go i believe it’s 128 blocks away they will all despawn now uh just want to look down here now once you come back they should be all despawned and we should be able to get a few guests spawning in

So i may just go down that uh that tunnel again and come back and yes everyone’s despawned so there shouldn’t be much of a trouble for a guest spawning again if it will okay let’s see if i can get them there we go please let there be one

Is there gonna be one oh you better not uh i don’t see any at all ah let me guess if there is one it fell down there no i don’t see a guest here oh let’s not fall down either i’m almost thinking i’m going to have to

Give up on the gas tier for now it is not one of the potions that i really really really want the ones that i really want are oh one that um you know what we have to stay up for three days to get it’s time for the pop quiz number one

What’s your favorite potion to brew and number two which potion do you find to be the most difficult to brew that is what kind of ingredients do you find difficult to get let me know in the comment section below well as luck would have it i happen to get a gas tier

Well i wasn’t even recording for that for that but um hey what now that happens anyways uh i really would like to find an enderman and there’s one right there okay enderman enderman you can come over here i’m looking at you i’m running is he gonna come that’s the question uh

I only looked at him briefly i don’t know if i looked at him in the eye maybe not because he did not get angry didn’t come after me okay there he is staring at you staring at you come on there’s another one there they are there they are gotcha okay

They really pack a hard punch uh all i want to do is get your there we go an ender pearl that’s what i wanted just one ender pearl now let’s get back we’re back and it’s morning and i’m pretty sure it’s been at least three or four days so we’ve got some of

This growing let’s see how many we got with that uh just one i’m gonna take it it didn’t grow to full maturity oh well uh we’re going to use it anyways the reason is we’re gonna actually brew something so let’s come over here and we’re going to put this

In here so what we’re going to get is something called awkward potion awkward potion is the base for all but one potion and well it’s it’s a very important ingredient so we need to make sure that we are growing it a lot now the first potion that i would like to

Actually brew as you can see awkward potion no effects that is fire resistance potion so i’m going to use the magma cream a magma cream will give you of course the fire resistance potion you can go into lava you can be on fire you won’t be hurt so uh the duration

For this is i believe three minutes ah there we go three minutes yes but i want it to be longer now to make it longer we do need another ingredient and that is redstone a redstone will increase the duration and there we go if we want to put in glowstone

Now glowstone won’t work with this but glowstone will increase the strength of a potion there are some potions where you can’t increase the strength like fire resistance you just are or you are not now this will increase us to eight minutes and there we go we have wonderful eight minute long fire resistant

Resistance potions i’d like to make another potion but uh the netherwart has not grown yet so i think i’m gonna have to let that grow since we haven’t slept in several nights we’re probably going to be visited by the phantom or several phantoms and that is what i’m counting on

We need phantom membranes and i hope they appear it’s not guaranteed that phantoms will appear and you don’t know when they’re going to appear but it looks like all the others are appearing got plenty of skeletons got some creepers around and spiders there’s a zombie over there

And it’s a little dangerous but i’ll keep waiting hopefully some phantoms will appear the sun’s coming up and not a single phantom oh well it happens there’s another enderman around here i could hide under here if i can see him if he appears again oh there he was okay okay hello come here

Come on are you really really going to do that you can’t hit one of these with a bow unfortunately but this guy doesn’t seem to want to come to me really are you hi come here come here come here really are you shy staring at him and he won’t come

I’ll come down here are you stuck i think he’s stuck are you stuck uh i’m in danger now i don’t know what happened there you go oops i just broke something oh there we go another ender pearl and what did i break i think i broke a bush oh well

That was kind of silly but uh we need to check how this is going ah this is grown up so let’s grab this we got two i’m gonna plant one and we’re going to brew another potion netherwart first next is pufferfish and what we’ve got here is a potion of

Water breathing for three minutes we’re gonna add redstone dust and turn it into an eight minute water breathing potion and there we go we got our water breathing so i’m just gonna put these away in here we’ll put our potions in there this looks so much like water

Okay so one of the reasons why i’m wanting to collect these is when we want to go to the end we need to find the stronghold and ender pearls or specifically eyes of ender will take us there and we need to use them to activate the portal

But we also want to make something else and i need to get some obsidian we’re gonna try another night with the phantoms if they come all right we have phantoms and these things are vicious there we go this guy’s right here and let’s see if i can get him got one hit

Oh yeah we got it we got it and there’s another one coming isn’t it we got another one okay i don’t hear i don’t see let’s grab this oh we’ve got a zombie out here too all right i’m gonna have to take care of this guy

And i’m gonna go to bed because oh i wanted this thing so badly where’d you go where are you there you are oh geez don’t fire too close to yourself okay let’s sleep let’s sleep good morning uh oh oh oh oh this is a lot of them

Oh gee how many of you are there lots and they’re armored too oh wow okay if they’ve got armor on they don’t burn and this thing needs to be put out okay well we’ve got the um the phantom membrane i gotta eat okay uh but we do not have our

First ingredient yet so we need to let that grow i just picked some netherwart and actually it gave me four so this is good so now let’s make another batch of awkward potion this time we’ll put in the gas tier and this time we’re going to be putting in glowstone dust

Now this is going to make this stronger well not stronger it’s going to make it faster i should say with regeneration this lasts for 45 seconds but it regenerates your health more slowly however when you’ve used this you can see it lasts only 22 seconds but it works twice as fast which

Will be much more useful and one last potion for today this time we’re going to be using the phantom membrane now this is going to give us a slow falling potion which will be very useful when we fight the dragon because we’re going to be up in the air sometimes if

We’re trying to uh destroy a few things they’re they’re up on high pillars we need to make sure that we’re going to be safe and for this we’ll add redstone dust to make the effect last longer it’s a minute 30 here and now it’s four minutes well we certainly had a lot of

Excitement today lots of fighting of mobs it’s it is kind of dangerous to gather a lot of things for potions so you will have to brave the nether or even go after some things like oh guests yeah if you like that all right homework time i’d like you to take a screenshot of
