Gathering Materials

Collect three cobblestone blocks. You can do this by mining a stone block with any pickaxe. Cobblestone can be found:

- NPC Villages

- When water and flowing lava intersect, creating a possibly infinite cobblestone source

Go to the Nether and kill a blaze for one blaze rod. They will always drop only one blaze rod. You will need to kill more if you plan on making more than one brewing stand.
- The Nether is home to six mobs: ghasts, magma cubes, wither skeletons, skeletons, zombified piglins and blazes. Blazes have yellow skin and black eyes. They can spawn only in Nether Fortresses.
- Blazes, in addition to being harmed by normal weapons, can be hurt significantly by snowballs. They cannot be hurt by fire or lava, like all mobs in the Nether.

In other game consoles, you make the brewing stand the same way. In Pocket Edition and PS1, 2, 3, 4 and XBox editions, accessing the crafting table gives you a different menu. If you have all the resources, you can just click on the brewing stand and you crafted it.

How do I make a splash healing potion in Minecraft?

Community Answer

Fill 3 bottles with water, then place the nether wart at the top; you'll end out with an awkward potion. After that, place a glistering melon at the top, and you'll end up with a potion of healing. Lastly, place gunpowder at the top and you'll have a splash potion of healing.

To make a potion of fire resistance you need to first make awkward potions by putting a netherwart and water bottles in a brewing stand. Next, you need to put magma cream in the brewing stand with the awkward potions. You can get magma cream from killing magma cubes in the nether, loot chests in bastions, or by combining blaze powder and slimeballs in a crafting table.
