At the beginning of our Minecraft adventure , making use of alchemy will not be essential. But if you intend to survive the most hostile monsters or visit the dimensions of the Nether and the End, the truth is that they can turn the tables in your favor. In addition, the potions that we can create with this system will not only serve to obtain temporary bonuses , but they can also be used as a weapon on multiple occasions. In this article we will show you a list of all the potions in the game and how to get them.
All basic potions in Minecraft
All potions in Minecraft are made through a few basic potions. In the end, we have a kind of potion tree, like a JRPG skill tree, with several branches based on those basic potions. The following diagrams will help you understand it easily .
Base ingredients
These ingredients will be the first ones we will use in that “tree” to create the basic potions. To use them, we will only have to place them in the lower slots, instead of the water flasks. In this way, they will modify the effect of the final potion .
