Kick off your Minecraft potion-making journey by crafting a brewing stand and learning how it works.
The Brewing Stand is one of the most powerful tools you can create in Minecraft and ramps up the survival experience to a new level. Whether you’re looking to deal more damage for a tough boss fight, want to explore the map faster, or regenerate health, the brewing stand opens up a whole new layer of gameplay with the potions it can create.
Brewing Stand Crafting Ingredients
To create a brewing stand, you’ll need the following:
- Blaze Rod x 1
- Cobblestone x 3
How to get them:
- Blaze Rod: Found by defeating Blazes in Nether Fortresses.
- Cobblestone: Easily gathered by mining stone with any pickaxe.
Brewing Stand Crafting Recipe
Open your crafting table and follow this layout on the crafting grid:
- Middle row: Place the Blaze Rod in the center slot.
- Bottom row: Fill all three slots with cobblestone.
Tips:
- You can use any stone-tier block like blackstone or cobbled deepslate instead of cobblestone.
- You can change the brewing stand’s name by placing it on an anvil.
- Placing a brewing stand near an unemployed villager will turn it into a cleric.
How to Use a Brewing Stand in Minecraft
The brewing stand lets you combine water bottles with various ingredients to create potions.
Basic setup:

- Add Blaze powder as fuel in the top left slot. Unlike with a furnace, blaze powder will only be consumed when a potion is brewing.
