The complete potion chart and brewing guide — every potion's ingredient, duration, extended and level II values, and splash/lingering options. Pick a potion to see the exact brewing chain, or look up an ingredient to find what it brews.

Fill glass bottles with water, brew nether wart into them to get an Awkward Potion, add a single effect ingredient, then optionally finish with a modifier. Click any potion name in the chart below (or use the picker) to see its exact step-by-step chain.
This brewing chart lists every brewable potion at a glance. Tap a column header to sort by duration or level, type in the search box to filter by effect or ingredient, or tap a potion name for its full step-by-step recipe.

A brewing stand is crafted from one blaze rod on top of three cobblestone (or blackstone) along the bottom of the crafting grid. Blaze rods drop from blazes in nether fortresses, and one rod converts into the blaze powder that fuels brewing. Because this is a crafting-table recipe rather than a brewing chain, the visual grid lives in the dedicated crafting tool:
Three base potions exist, and only one is useful. New brewers often make a Mundane potion or a Thick potion by accident, then wonder why no effect ingredient works on it — the answer is that you always want the Awkward Potion as your base.
Modifiers reshape a finished potion instead of giving it a new effect:
Add gunpowder to any potion to make a splash version you can throw, then add dragon's breath to a splash potion to make it lingering — a cloud that applies the effect to anyone standing in it. In Java Edition a splash potion keeps the same duration as the drinkable version; in Bedrock it keeps only three-quarters. Lingering clouds apply about one-quarter of the drinkable duration per dose in both editions. Splash and lingering work on every brewable potion in the chart above.
Whether you call it a Minecraft potion guide, an MC potion guide, or just a chart of all Minecraft potion recipes, this page is one self-contained reference for every brewing-stand recipe. It covers every potion you can make at a brewing stand — the base ingredient, the effect, how long it lasts at base, what redstone and glowstone do to it, and whether splash and lingering versions exist. Unlike a static image, the chart is real HTML you can search, sort and deep-link, and the brewing chains are generated step by step so you never have to reverse-engineer the order yourself.
The numbers here are game-data facts (durations, ingredients, and the modifier behaviour), written up originally rather than copied from any wiki. To make a potion in Minecraft you only ever need to remember the rhythm: water bottle, awkward, effect, modifier. Once that clicks, the whole brewing system — from a simple Potion of Healing to a lingering, level II, corrupted concoction — is just the same four steps with different ingredients.
