Setting up a brewing stand
- Craft the stand: 1 Blaze Rod in the middle of the top row and 3 Cobblestone (or Blackstone or Cobbled Deepslate) in the row below.
- Add fuel: put Blaze Powder in the far-left slot. One Blaze Powder lasts for 20 brews.
- Add bottles: up to three Water Bottles or potions go in the three bottom slots.
- Add the ingredient: place it in the top slot. Brewing takes 20 seconds and uses one ingredient for all three bottles.

Brewing tips
- Always brew three at once. The ingredient is used once no matter how many bottles are in the stand.
- Brew Awkward Potions in bulk. Keep a chest of them so each new potion is one step away.
- Automate it. Hoppers can feed ingredients from the top and fuel from the side, and pull finished potions out from below.
- Corrupt last. Upgrade with Redstone or Glowstone before adding a Fermented Spider Eye where possible, so the corrupted potion keeps a useful duration or level.
