How To Make Splash Potion Of Weakness in Minecraft
Hello and Welcome back to our Minecraft crafting guide series. Today we're going to show you the step‑by‑step process for brewing a Splash Potion of Weakness. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced alchemist, this guide covers everything you need to know, from gathering ingredients to perfecting the final splash effect.
What Is a Splash Potion of Weakness?
A Splash Potion of Weakness is a throwable brew that temporarily reduces the attack strength of mobs and players. It’s especially useful in PvP battles, mob farms, and when you need to tame animals safely. The potion applies the Weakness status effect for 1 minute (or 2 minutes at level II), making enemies deal less damage while you gain a strategic advantage.
Materials Needed
Before you start brewing, collect the following items. All ingredients can be found in the Overworld or crafted using basic resources.
- Water Bottles – 3 glass bottles filled with water.
- Nether Wart – The base ingredient for every potion.
- Fermented Spider Eye – Creates the Weakness effect.
- Gunpowder – Turns a regular potion into a splash potion.
- Blaze Powder – Fuel for the brewing stand.
Make sure you have a Brewing Stand ready, as well as enough inventory space to store the finished potions.
Step‑By‑Step Brewing Process
- Set Up the Brewing Stand
Place Blaze Powder in the fuel slot of the brewing stand. This will keep the stand active throughout the brewing process.
- Add Water Bottles
Place three Water Bottles in the three lower slots. These will become the base for your potion.
- Insert Nether Wart
Put Nether Wart in the top slot. After a short brewing cycle, the water bottles will turn into Awkward Potions, the neutral starting point for all advanced brews.
- Add Fermented Spider Eye
Replace the Nether Wart with a Fermented Spider Eye. Brew again, and the Awkward Potions will transform into Potion of Weakness (Regular). This potion lasts 1 minute at level I.
- Upgrade to Level II (Optional)
If you want a longer duration, add Redstone dust after the Fermented Spider Eye step. Brewing with Redstone
