Gamers playing in Creative Mode don’t really need potions. Still, they’re fun to create, though the road to obtaining every ingredient manually can be quite long. Your journey includes taking a trip into the Nether, fishing, hunting rabbits, and more.

Gather your materials

The list of materials you need is rather long, and five of them reside in the Nether. That means you need to build a portal, enter the underworld, defeat monsters, and find a Nether Fortress without getting lost.

Remember, each block traveled in the Nether equals eight blocks traveled in the Overworld. You may want to consider leaving markers, like torches, that lead you back to the portal. Switching to “Peaceful” mode probably wouldn’t be a bad idea either — at least until you return home.

Step 1: Build a portal to the Netherworld.

Step 2: Enter the Netherworld and find a Nether Fortress.

Craft a Brewing Stand

You can’t make a potion without this required contraption.

Step 1: Open your Crafting Table.

Step 2: Place one (1) Cobblestone each in the three bottom squares in the crafting grid.

Step 3: Place one (1) Blaze Rod in the middle square.

Step 4: Drag the Brewing Stand down into your Hotbar.

Step 5: Select the Brewing Stand and perform the following:

• PC — Right-click on the destination.
• Console — Target the destination and press the Left Trigger button.
• Mobile — Tap on the destination.

Craft a Cauldron (optional)

You’ll need water — why not add a little pool next to your Brewing Stand?

Step 1: Open your Crafting Table.

Step 2: Add seven (7) Iron Ingots to the crafting grid in a “U” formation: Three in the left column, one in the middle column’s bottom square, and three in the right column.

Step 3: Drag the resulting Cauldron down into your Hotbar.

Step 4: Select the Cauldron and perform the following:

• PC — Right-click on the destination.
• Console — Target the destination and press the Left Trigger button.
• Mobile — Tap on the destination.

Craft and fill Glass Bottles

You need something to contain your brewed liquids.

Step 1: Open your Crafting Table.

Step 2: On the crafting grid’s middle row, place one (1) Glass Block each in the first and third squares.

Step 3: On the crafting grid’s bottom row, place one (1) Glass Block in the second square.

Step 4: Drag the resulting three (3) Glass Bottles down into your Hotbar.

Step 5: Equip a Glass Bottle and do the following next to a body of water:

• PC — Right-click on the water.
• Console — Target the water and press the Left Trigger button.
• Mobile — Tap the water.

Craft Blaze Powder

Your Brewing Stand needs fuel!

Step 1: Open your Crafting Table.

Step 2: Place a Blaze Rod into any crafting grid square.

Step 3: Drag the resulting Blaze Powder (two total) down into your inventory.

Brew an Awkward Potion

First, you need to brew a “foundation” called an Awkward Potion. It’s like the carbonated water in your favorite cola: Without it, you just have a glass of syrup.

Step 1: Open the Brewing Stand.

Step 2: Place one (1) filled Glass Bottle each into the lower three squares designated with a “bottle” icon.

Step 3: Place one (1) Nether Wart into the top square.

Step 4: Place one (1) Blaze Powder in the square in the top-left corner designated with a “fire” icon.
