Howdy Minecraft friends and foes... I was recently thinking deeply about potions and alchemy in minecraft and I think some people really need to step up their game in creating potions to Pvp--[Player Vs. Player] in faction, anarchy, single player.. They're so many types of Pvp servers that you need to know the knots and ties in and out of the Alchemist aspect.

Potions can have three levels to them. For simplicity, we will call them primary potions, secondary potions and third type potions. Again, for simplicity's sake, we will divide the secondary and third type potions into positive and negative potions.

First of all lets start with Base Potions.

- A base potion consists of when you get the glass bottle and right click in water, thus gives you a water bottle.
- After this you can boil them with ingredients, such as:

Nether Wart= Awkward Potion (No Effect)

Ghast Tear, Magma Cream, Blaze Powder, Spider Eye, Glistering Melon= Mundane Potion (No Effect)

Glowstone Dust= Thick Potion(No Effect)

Primary Potions are your main ones, negative or positive effects may be bestowed upon slurping them up in the heat of battle of using them to retreat like a panzie.

The following are examples of primary and secondary potions.

Positive All positive potions are brewed using the primary awkward potion. Here is a list of all positive secondary potions:

Awkward Potion+Glistering Melon = Potion of Healing (Instantly restores 3 hearts)
Awkward Potion+Magma Cream = Potion of Fire Resistance (Grants the player immunity to fire and lava damage for three minutes)
Awkward Potion+Ghast Tears = Potion of Regeneration (Restores health over 45 seconds)
Awkward Potion+Blaze Powder = Potion of Strength (Increases damage by a heart and a half for three minutes)
Awkward Potion+Sugar = Potion of Swiftness (Increases movement speed and jump height for three minutes)

Negative All negative potions are brewed using either the Awkward Potions, the Mundane Potion,the Thick Potion, the primary Potion of Weakness or the Extended Mundane Potion. Here is a list of all negative secondary potions:

Awkward Potion+Spider Eye = Potion of Poison (Poisong the player for forty five seconds, reducing his health to a maximum of 1/2 heart)
Thick Potion+Fermented Spider Eyes = Potion of Weakness (Damage dealt is halved for a minute and a half)
Mundane Potion+Fermented Spider Eyes = Potion of Weakness (Damage dealt is halved for a minute and a half)
Extended Mundane Potion+Fermented Spider Eyes = Extended Potion of Weakness (Damage dealt is halved for four minutes)
Potion of Weakness+Redstone Dust = Extended Potion of Weakness (Damage dealt is halved for four minutes)

THIRD TYPE ALSO KNOWN AS TIERS LIKE I, II, III.
By adding either redstone dust or glowstone dust to a potion, you can further change that potion. Brewing redstone with a potion will cause that potion's duration to be extended; ad brewing glowstone with one will cause it to become stronger (a healing potion will heal more, for example).

This is also known well in the community as tiers so say I craft a potion of poison using Awkward Potion+ Spider Eye I can take this potion and add redstone (Increasing Duration as said above) Or possibly adding glowstone.

All Potions With Positive Effects Use Ingredients In Direct Order.

Potions with Positive Effects
Potion of Regeneration 0:45 Nether Wart+Ghast Tear.
Potion of Swiftness 3:00 Nether Wart+Sugar
Potion of Fire Resistance 3:00 Nether Wart+Magma Cream
Potion of Healing Instant Instant Nether Wart+Ghast Tear
Potion of Strength 3:00 Nether Wart+Blaze Rod

Potions with Negative Effects Use Ingredients In Order.

Potion of Poison 0:45 Nether Wart+Spider Eye.

Potion of Weakness 1:30 Nether Wart+Fermented Spider Eye+Sugar

Potion of Harming Instant Nether Wart+Spider Eye+Fermented Spider Eye

Also to make splash potions you must use gun powder, this increases the usage and negative potions which derreritate the health of your foes for example Instant Damage II and or Poison potions, these are useful if you have good aim that is.

Thanks for watching my tutorial, this was about a 2 hour blog and I really hope you come to be a master.. I left a bit out but if I get enough likes etc. Ill make a part 2.

Fun Fact: Alchemy was first hinted in July 2010,[3] when Notch explained why redstone ore disintegrates into "dust". He states that dust will be used later in potions. Bye! Please share this with your friends :D
