If you want to cure multiple zombie villagers or effectively weaken enemies in combat, a Splash Potion of Weakness is one of the most useful items in Minecraft. In this guide, you will learn how to brew it and what ingredients you need.
How to Brew Splash Potion of Weakness
If you want to prepare a Splash Potion of Weakness, you need to combine a Splash Water Bottle with a Fermented Spider Eye. It is a quick and intuitive recipe that does not require many ingredients.
Prepare Required Ingredients
This recipe requires only four ingredients.
Blaze Powder
Blaze Powder is the foundation of brewing, as it serves as fuel for your Brewing Stand. You can obtain it by crafting Blaze Rods into Blaze Powder.
Water Bottle
A Water Bottle is the base of your potion, and you can create it by filling empty Glass Bottles with water from any source, such as an ocean, lake, or river.
Gunpowder
Gunpowder is a required ingredient if you want to create a splash potion. It is most commonly obtained from Creepers, but it can also drop from Ghasts or be found in chests.
Fermented Spider Eye
Fermented Spider Eye is the key ingredient responsible for the Weakness effect. You can craft it using a Spider Eye, Sugar, and a Brown Mushroom. Spider Eyes drop from spiders, Sugar is made from sugar cane, and Brown Mushrooms can be found in dark places such as caves.
Prepare the Brewing Stand
The first step is to prepare the Brewing Stand. Open the interface and add fuel in the form of Blaze Powder to the left slot. Once the fuel bar is filled, you can move on to the next steps.
Create a Splash Water Bottle
Place Water Bottles into the bottom slots of the Brewing Stand, then add Gunpowder to the top slot. After a few seconds, the brewing process will finish, and the regular Water Bottles will turn into Splash Water Bottles, which will serve as the base for the potion.
Add Fermented Spider Eye to Create a Splash Potion of Weakness
Once you have the Splash Water Bottles, add a Fermented Spider Eye to the top slot. This will apply the Weakness effect to the potion. After a short moment, you will get a Splash Potion of Weakness, which you can use by throwing it at enemies or zombie villagers to apply the effect.
