Brewing steps

  1. Fuel the brewing stand with Blaze Powder and place Water Bottles in the lower slots.
  2. Use Nether Wart for the base potion unless this effect has a special direct recipe.
  3. Add Glistering Melon Slice for the intended effect. Check the in-game output before modifying it.
  4. Where supported, Redstone Dust extends duration, Glowstone Dust strengthens the effect, Gunpowder makes a splash potion, and Dragon’s Breath follows for lingering form.

Source-data variants: extended duration: no; enhanced strength: yes.

Use the potion brewer to get the ingredient sequence for a selected effect and form.
