Discover how to brew the Weakness Potion in Minecraft! Our step-by-step guide has everything you need to get started
Minecraft has a range of potions that you can craft. These potions add different kinds of buffs and debuffs that can help you progress through the game. Unlike item enchantments, potion effects last for a limited period only. For instance, when you craft a potion of weakness and consume it, the effects will last for only 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Here, we will teach you how to make a weakness potion and provide strategies for using it in Minecraft.
Recipe of Weakness Potion in Minecraft
You will need the following items if you are looking to brew a weakness potion in Minecraft:
- Blaze powder
- Brewing stand
- One fermented spider eye
- One water bottle
Now, let’s see how you can create the potion with ease.
Method of Creating Potion of Weakness
To make the potion, follow the steps mentioned below:
- Open the brewing stand menu and add blaze powder to activate it.
- Add up to three water bottles at the bottom slots of the brewing stand menu.
- Add fermented spider eye on the top slot of the menu.
After this, your weakness potion will be ready for use. You can make up to three of these potions in one go.
Weakness Potion Effects
If you drink the weakness potion in Minecraft, you will suffer a reduction in your attack damage for 1 minute and 30 seconds. However, the exact effect of the potion can vary based on the edition of the game you are running.
- In the Java Edition, the potion reduces attack damage by two hearts for the duration of the effect.
- In the Bedrock Edition, your damage will reduce by 20% plus an additional quarter of a heart.
The effect of the potion seems counterintuitive since it reduces your damage output without providing any beneficial effects. However, the motive of brewing a weakness potion is not for you to consume it. Instead, you can use the potion to create a splash potion of weakness.
What Is Splash Potion of Weakness?
A splash potion of weakness is a throwable version of the potion that you can use to reduce the damage of enemies. Throwing the splash potion at an enemy mob will successfully reduce their attack, allowing you to survive difficult encounters. You can also enhance the splash potion to increase its duration of effect.
Another important aspect of the splash potion of weakness is that it can help cure zombies and turn them back to human beings. Need help making a splash weakness potion? Take a look at our guide on making the potion.
