How to Make Throwable Potions in Minecraft?
Are you tired of running away from Creepers and Zombies with just your bare hands? Do you want to deal some serious damage and stay safe while fighting against Minecraft’s most formidable enemies? Well, you’re in luck! In this article, we’ll show you how to create throwable potions that can give you the upper hand in battles and make your Minecraft experience more enjoyable.
What are Throwaway Potions?
Before we dive into the instructions, let’s briefly discuss what throwable potions are. These potions are crafted using various materials and allow you to throw a potion bottle that breaks upon impact, releasing the potion’s effects. This makes them particularly useful in combat, as you can launch a potion bottle at an enemy to affect them without having to drink it yourself.
Materials Needed:
Before we begin, you’ll need to gather the following materials:
• Blaze Powder (smelted from Blaze Rods in a Furnace)
• Glass Bottle (crafted by pouring Water into a Furnace while having sand in the top inventory slot)
• Potion of [Your Choice] ( brewed in a Brewing Stand)
Instructions:
To create a throwaway potion, follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a Potion
Before making the throwaway potion, brew the potion of your choice using the Brewing Stand. You can choose from a variety of potion effects, such as Strength, Regeneration, or Healing. Once the brewing process is complete, you’ll have the desired potion in your inventory.
Step 2: Create a Glass Bottle
Use your Furnace to smelt some sand into glass, which can then be used to create glass bottles. These bottles will be the base of your throwaway potion.
Step 3: Add the Blaze Powder
Open the crafting table and arrange the glass bottle in the first row. In the second row, add 3 Blaze Powder in the left and right slots. In the bottom row, add one glass bottle in the center slot.
Step 4: Combine the Potion and Bottle
Move the throwaway potion you crafted in Step 1 and combine it with the glass bottle created in Step 3. Place the throwaway potion in the inventory, and voilà! You now have a ready-to-use throwaway potion.
Benefits of Throwaway Potions:
• Evasion Tactic: With a throwaway potion, you can dodge or redirect an enemy’s attack, gaining precious seconds to react.
• Flanking Maneuvers: Create a diversion with your potion to flank an enemy and deal damage from behind.
• Enemy Disruption: Confuse or disorient your enemy, making it easier to attack them without taking damage.
• Ambushes: Surprise an enemy by throwing a potion and gaining a strategic advantage.
