Ingredients

Base Ingredients

Base ingredients are the first ingredients added to a water bottle in order to start the brewing process. The base ingredients are as follows:

Name	When added Makes
Nether Wart	Awkward Potion
Glowstone Dust	Thick Potion
Redstone	Mundane Potion (extended)
Fermented Spider Eye	Weakness Potion

Secondary Ingredients

Secondary ingredients imbue an awkward potion with a particular effect, but they do not alter the potion duration or intensity. When added directly to a water bottle, any of these ingredients will produce a mundane potion (with the exception of the golden carrot which can't be brewed into a water bottle to make a potion). The types of secondary ingredients are as follows:

Name
&format=original Blaze Powder
&format=original Fermented Spider Eye
&format=original Ghast Tear
&format=original Glistering Melon

&format=original Magma Cream

&format=original Rabbit's Foot
&format=original Sugar
