Brewing batch planner
Plan up to three bottles per ingredient step. This is a resource planner, not an automated in-game brewer.
One brewing cycle can process up to three matching bottles. Each full round uses one Nether Wart for the base step, then one effect ingredient for the final step.
6 × Potion of Healing
- Water bottles 6
- Brewing rounds 2
- Nether Wart 2
- Glistering Melon Slice 2
Also bring Blaze Powder as brewing stand fuel. The amount needed depends on fuel already loaded and any other brewing performed.
How to brew
- Place Blaze Powder in the stand’s fuel slot and fill up to three bottles with water.
- Use Nether Wart in the ingredient slot to prepare Awkward Potions.
- Add the ingredient shown for the effect you want. Check the in-game recipe and duration for your edition.
