What are potions of weakness on Minecraft for and how are they made?
1) What are potions of weakness for?
Weakness potions are used to make your enemy lose strength and therefore destabilize the opponent since he will have more hits to hit you. This allows you to have an advantage over the opponent. This reduces melee attacks by 4 hearts.
This is what a potion of weakness looks like:
2) How are potions of weakness made?
First of all, you should know that there are two different types of potions:
- The basic vials you have to drink, and here's how to make them:
As you can see, you need 3 glasses, and you get 3 empty vials. You have to position the glass as in the picture (4-2-6).
Disposable Potions of Weakness:
– Disposable vials, which you must throw on the ground, to craft them you will need your potion(s) and 1 gunpowder. You don't need the crafting table to make them, but with a still. It is with this still that you will make your potion(s).
Now that you know how to make empty and disposable vials, you will learn how to make potions of weakness.
Increase the duration of potions of weakness.
To make a potion of weakness with a duration of 1 minute 30 seconds, you will need a vial and a fermented spider's eye.
Here's how to make fermented spider's eye:
Voila, you have the necessary ingredients, now here is how to place the vial and the fermented spider's eye in the still:
To make your weakness potion last longer (i.e. + 1 min 30 seconds), add redstone powder to your weakness potion, like this:
Your potion has a 4 minute effect now that the redstone dust has been added.
To make the potion disposable, repeat the above operation, replacing the redstone dust with bone dust and the vial of water with the potion of weakness crafted above.
So ! Your potion of weakness is created. You can put 3 vials of water from the start to make 3 potions of weakness at the same time, it's faster and it will use less resource (i.e. bone powder, redstone powder and the eye of fermented spider). It's also a time saver to make 3 potions simultaneously.

THANKS ! It was my first time making potions and I couldn't understand why my potions weren't exploding when thrown, you have to add powder to them! The info is very stupid but when you don't have it it's hard to find, so great little tutorial that has served me well 🙂
Glad Miss's tutorial helped you 🙂
