Description
Brewing Refined
More reasons to build a brewing stand.
Brewing Refined expands brewing with eleven new potion types, useful effects and an illustrated handbook. Discover recipes as you play, then brew your favourites again with ease.
Minecraft Java 1.20.1 · Forge · Singleplayer & Multiplayer
Discover. Brew. Repeat.
- Eleven new potion types and five extended Stage 2 variants.
- Unknown recipes stay hidden. Brew a potion and collect it from the brewing stand to discover its name and brewing sequence.
- Select a discovered recipe to brew it again. Supply up to three water bottles and keep the ingredients in your inventory; normal fuel costs and brewing times still apply.
- An illustrated Potion Handbook explains ingredients, effects and brewing steps.
- Identical potions stack up to 64, including splash and lingering potions. Each use consumes just one bottle.
The in-game brewing stand: discovered recipes on the left, bottles and your inventory on the right. The selected potion’s ingredient sequence appears below.
Meet the potions
Every recipe below starts with Water Bottle → Nether Wart. Add the listed ingredients in order. Where Stage 2 is available, finish with Redstone for a longer duration with the same effect strength.
Miner
30 min · Stage 2: 60 min
Mine 25% faster. A reliable companion for long mining trips.
After Nether Wart: Iron Ingot → Golden Carrot
Homeward
Instant
Find your way home. In the Nether, return to your last remembered valid Nether portal. Otherwise, return to your valid bed spawn or the Overworld spawn. The bottle is kept if no safe destination is available.
After Nether Wart: Ender Pearl → Amethyst Shard
Tiny
5 min
Shrink to half size and explore passages only one block wide and high. Returning to normal size waits until there is enough room.
After Nether Wart: Rabbit’s Foot → Red Mushroom
Lightfoot
5 min
Move without triggering step or landing vibrations. Other actions can still make noise; fall damage remains unchanged.
After Nether Wart: Rabbit’s Foot → White Wool
Renewal
2 min
Combine Regeneration I with four extra armor points for a short burst of recovery and protection.
After Nether Wart: Ghast Tear → Iron Ingot
Return
No time limit · Same dimension
The first drink marks your exact position and facing in that bottle. Drink it again to return to that point. The mark belongs to you and has no time limit. The saved point remains the destination even if the terrain changes.
After Nether Wart: Chorus Fruit
Companion Sight
4 min · Stage 2: 8 min
See all other loaded players in your dimension through walls with a softly pulsing pink outline. Only you see the outline—ideal for finding your friends underground.
After Nether Wart: Glow Berries
Magnetism
10 min · Stage 2: 20 min
Draw loose items toward you from up to 10 blocks away, including from below. Sneak to pause the pull. Items travel through open space and respect solid blocks, pickup rules and inventory space.
After Nether Wart: Copper Ingot
Soul Reaping
7 min 30 sec · Stage 2: 15 min
Restore one heart whenever you kill a hostile enemy, including with ranged attacks. Animals and players do not grant healing. Its still, green bottle holds two ghostly souls.
After Nether Wart: Soul Sand
Wormhole
Instant · Across dimensions
Drink, choose another living player from the list and teleport near them—even across dimensions. No confirmation from the destination player is needed. Cancelling or having no safe arrival point keeps your potion.
After Nether Wart: Gold Ingot → Chorus Fruit
Lifeforce
10 min · Stage 2: 20 min
Gain five additional maximum hearts. The extra hearts start empty and can fill through normal hunger-based healing or other healing effects. Drinking again refreshes the duration. When the effect ends, your maximum health returns to normal.
After Nether Wart: Golden Apple (regular)
Your brewing knowledge, in one book
The Potion Handbook brings together brewing basics, vanilla recipes and the new potions, with illustrations and ingredient sequences. Your brewing stand discoveries survive world reloads and death.
