From awkward potion to max-level splash potion — pick the effect you want and get the full ingredient chain, including which modifiers extend or strengthen it.
Brewing chain basics
- Awkward potion: water bottle + nether wart (base for all effect potions).
- Effect ingredient: add the effect ingredient (sugar, blaze powder, etc.).
- Modifiers (in any order after the effect): redstone extends, glowstone strengthens, gunpowder makes it splash, dragon’s breath makes lingering.
Common questions
Why is my potion “mundane”? You skipped the awkward potion step — all effect potions need nether wart first.
Can I extend a Level II potion? No — glowstone and redstone don’t stack. Level II can’t be extended; extended potions stay Level I.
