xPunishmentsx – Episode 18: Potion Brewing Guide

Thank you and welcome back today it’s part of our Minecraft let’s play how to series we’re going to be covering basics of potion making kind of a potion making guide uh mostly today I’ll be making potions I’ll be using to fight the Ender Dragon but I will try to cover

As many other ones as I can so what you’re going to need is a potion stand which is what this is right here what we got three water bottles so if you’re gonna make a water bottle you just need glass let’s get this glass come here

It’s water bottles just like that no big deal and you fill them up with water just like you would a bucket over here is your fuel which would be blaze powder so you’ll take your blaze rods you get from the stronghold not the stronghold but uh Fortress the other Fortress

He uh convert that into blaze powder you put that right there now right here is where we’re going to be putting our ingredients now to start out pretty much every good potion you’re gonna need another wart I need one of these right there and it’ll start brewing takes about like 20 seconds per

Ingredient but one ingredient makes three potions so getting a one to three ratio which is pretty good and once that turns you’re gonna end up water bottle is going to become an awkward push not going to change much just going to rename it now from an awkward potion standpoint you can add

Your next item so last episode we did Phantom farm from Phantom membrane so we’ll go ahead and use that one first put that in there what that’s going to do is give us a slow falling potion sugar is going to give you a swiftness potion a gas tear

It’s going to give you a regeneration potion uh Magma Cream is going to give you fire resistance golden care is going to give you night vision or invisibility depending on there’s two parts of that recipe um puffer fish will give you water breathing uh rabbit’s foot is going to give you a

Leaping a higher jump ocean um blaze powder will give you a strength potion and fermented spider eye is going to give you a weakness potion which we covered when we did our villager desolification weakness potion is what we use there but we turn them into weakness arrows so

Still had to make the potion first uh glistening watermelon will give you uh healing potion which you could also turn into a harming potion so that’s another double-sided one swiftness is also double-sided with want the sugar it could be turned into a slowness potion which slowed out mobs I guess but

Never really had much use for uh Lotus potion now we’ve got our potion of slow falling now from there we’re gonna add redstone what Redstone is going to do is make the potion last longer uh you cannot make slow falling a stronger potion so you can’t make it make you fall slower it’s

Pretty much a straight potion there are some potions like your regeneration potion your swiftness potion leaping potion strength potion and like that’s I think for probably a couple others but that’s the four main ones you can actually add glowstone instead of the Redstone and make the potion more

Powerful so your regeneration would be more Hearts per second or yeah you get still you get the same amount of Hearts but more per second but it wouldn’t last as long so you’ll get a stronger potion but the length of the potion will not be as long so

It’s gonna all depend on personal preference from right there so now we got our three potions as you notice went from a minute and a half to four minutes when we added the Redstone so we can go ahead and go with our next set of water bottles put our

Another ward in make an awkward potion again like I said most of your main Potions you’re going to need that netherwort which is another Fortress item like I said the blaze rods the netherwort nether fortress so that’s one of the main reasons I went there now uh once you get your uh

Awkward potion then you’re going to add to the your signifier like your golden carrot your gas to Sugar your blaze powder we’re gonna do blaze powder this time yeah you’re gonna put blaze powder in right here even though you’re using it to fuel just one here that should give us a strength potion

Now once we got our strength potion we got two options we can either go add glowstone or redstone the glowstone will make it uh last not as long but you’ll get more attack damage for not quite as long or you can make it last longer but your

Attack damage will still be kind of so it’s all like again personal preference I’m going to do a glowstone this time so I’m gonna actually make our attack damage the 1.3 better but our timer is going to go down so like I said you make the poster

Stronger but it doesn’t last as long so it’s going to be like a personal preference you may want it to last longer and not do as much damage so now we got a 2.99 attack damage for a minute and a half so we cut the time in half but we got more damage

Our slow fall and we got our strength um just trying to think of which ones I want uh let’s go with the ghast here gas tears what you get from killing the ghost looking guys in the nether they drop them every now and then uh we can make a gas Farm later on

Not usually something I bait because I used to just go in there and kill enough of them I don’t really need a lot of gas tears uh again depends what you’re doing with your game and I just wasted that because I didn’t do it right so easy to make a mistake I guess

Thank you I don’t think I can fix this let me see oh there no big deal yeah it’s not letting me do it all right we’ll just come down in there yep drop those and there’s three more water bottles let’s get it right this time throw those in there like I said

No big deal you’re not gonna be out much make a mistake I could have put the liquid into a cauldron and probably get rid of it that way but oh well there’s three glass bottles ain’t gonna set me back much so I got my awkward potion let’s see I

Think I got gas tears around here somewhere yeah we’ll just do a different potion um we’re both glistening melon take another War out there let’s see melanin this will be a regeneration potion now for regeneration I’m not another’s uh helium one healing two I’m gonna go with the faster version

Because usually if you need a healing potion you’re going to want to work fast so I always amp it up glowstone uh you could probably draw it out if you’re in taking like a lot of small damage but if you’re fighting the inner dragon you’re gonna be taking pretty good chunks of damage

So that should give me an insta Health too I know some of these look the same so you’re going to have to hover over them try to keep them separated it’s hard to tell the difference between this one and this one and the Regeneration about the same color as these two so

Falling is easily pretty easy to see I mean I’m not sure swiftness might be the same pretty close to color um water breathing is going to be blue so it’s going to look like a water up a water bottle um fire resistance it’s pretty unique got one down here

The fire resistance it kind of looks like it’s flaming so pretty easy to tell what that one is um the weakness potion’s purple things like that now on the puffer fish uh like I said I wouldn’t capture live puffer fish because I want to use these for other things

But I had six of them so I just went ahead and took three of them I dumped them into a hole and then I killed them so I made sure not to use a flame I didn’t want it cooked so a little bit careful with that making sure you can’t cook them but

Picked up my mundane potions let’s leave them there I could have drank them actually do that and it’ll have no effects so all right we’ll go ahead and grab a gas tear up here do it regeneration potion uh you don’t always need the posters to fight the internet I mean if you’re

I just do it so not having to struggle um you want to beat the inner dragon on normal or hard in order for you to get to the achievement if you do it on easy you will not get the achievement so like I said we got ours on hard so

That’s what we’ll be doing so and get this potion made up I think on Regen probably do the glowstone two so it’s more powerful but that doesn’t last as long like I said when you need regeneration and healing and stuff like that you’re really not wanting to wait a long period

Of time unless it’s going to be something you know is going to take a while like if you’re moving a zombie in a boat you’re in the same boat and sitting there just constantly pounding on you you could probably go with the Redstone version so the potion lasts longer but it

It doesn’t take it just takes longer basically gas tear in there like I said one ingredient gets you three potions so that’s pretty good return uh you’re using your blaze powder but you don’t use it very fast you don’t need a whole lot of waste powder there’s probably more potions than I’ll

Ever need by itself will get regeneration for 45 seconds I think it’s half a heart for 25 seconds or for 45 seconds um I had to glowstone to make it stronger and I think that gives you a full heart every I can’t 23 seconds maybe it’s been a while since I’ve made

Regeneration potions usually you pick enough up foreign monsters that you don’t really have to okay so you get regeneration two for 20 seconds so I wasn’t too far off and it’s kind of a lighter Pink as you can see purple whatever you want to call that like I said the instant Health the

Strength 2 kind of looks similar regeneration is a little bit lighter what I tend to do is when I go into the fight I’ll put them in vertical order like this so when I use them one two three I get rid of these bottles I just move them

One down one down that way it just keeps it I’m not having to search keep it kind of in a vertical thing like this and once I use these I’ve ditched the bottles or fill them with dragon’s breath when I’m in the inner dragon fight keep them wanting your inventory

Then we’ll just go I’ll go ahead and move another one down move another one down move another one down real quick that way when I’m ready to use it again boom it’s ready to go so like I said the Redstone will make the potion last longer but it’s not as a

Powerful a potion and the glowstone will make the potion more powerful on the ones that it can and not last as long so you got kind of a double-edged sword it’s going to be personal preference at that point um I’m gonna go ahead and leave a description for the Minecraft Wiki on

Potion brewing a lot of good information in there there’s other potions that are kind of specialty potions not really used all that much but some people do use them so uh like you know the potion of turtle master and stuff like that so that’s in there uh it’ll give you a chart on

The different ways to do things now the other thing we can go through is the healing to harming the night vision to invisibility and swiftness to slowness um what you would do is basically you would get those potions made you’d make a healing potion you’d make night vision

Night vision you use the golden carrot so you’d have three potions here invisibility now in order to change that potion from night vision two invisibility sorry you would use a fermented spider eye the fermented spider eye is also used to make a weakness potion uh in order to make the fermented spider

Eye you need the brown mushroom sugar and a spider eye so you put those in your crafting bench you can make fermented spider eyes uh you want a beach item to make one for minutes of better eyes so see I got some here so if I had night

Vision potions here and I want to make them invisibility I would use a fermented spider eye what that does is kind of reverse to give you the opposite of the potion so if you could turn a healing potion into a harming potion uh night vision potion into turning you

Invisible which invisibility potion we will need when we go to make our shulker farm um swiftness will become slowness uh the other things you can do is make potions splash potions and for that you need gunpowder so when you have a potion in your hand you could throw it on the ground

And it would uh create a cloud kind of a little area where you could like walk through it or you could hit a mob with a slowness potion you could throw you know a slowness potion at a group of zombies or creepers or whatever to slow them down

Um and that’s what you use so you could throw the bottle and it would break on the ground and the gun powder helps make it a make that happen so that’s the other option is gunpowder but like I said I’ll leave the link for the wiki in the description which will be

Much give you a visual guide uh and help you with uh the effects of the potions too because like he’s shown on the screen instant Health 2 doesn’t really give a very good description uh the wiki will give you a much better description on what it does and the differences so

I think that’s all we’re going to be doing for today hope everyone has a great one uh like comment subscribe would appreciate it and I will see you next time Thank you
