What is Brewing Stand in Minecraft?
A brewing stand is a special utility block used to create potions. It looks like a small stand with a golden rod in the middle and a base made of cobblestone. The main purpose of a brewing stand is to combine water bottles with various ingredients to brew all sorts of helpful and harmful potions. These potions can give you effects like night vision, fire resistance, super speed, or be used as weapons to inflict poison or slowness on your enemies. The brewing stand is an essential block for any player who wants to explore the more magical side of Minecraft, prepare for boss fights, or gain an advantage in player versus player combat. It is also the job site block for the cleric villager.
How to get Brewing Stand in Minecraft
There are a few ways to get a brewing stand. The most common way is to craft it. The crafting recipe requires one blaze rod and three cobblestone blocks. Cobblestone is easy to get, but the blaze rod is more challenging. Blaze rods are only dropped by Blazes, which are fiery, flying enemies found in Nether fortresses. This means you have to build a Nether portal, find a fortress, and fight these dangerous mobs to get the key ingredient. Once you have it, open a crafting table. Place the three cobblestone blocks in a horizontal row along the bottom, and place the blaze rod in the center slot directly above them. This will give you one brewing stand. You can also find brewing stands naturally generated in the world. They can be found inside churches in villages, in the basements of igloos, and aboard End ships.
How to use Brewing Stand in Minecraft
To use a brewing stand, you first need to power it with blaze powder, which you get from crafting a blaze rod. Place the blaze powder in the fuel slot on the left. Then, place up to three water bottles in the bottom three slots. To start brewing, you need to place a nether wart in the top ingredient slot. This will turn the water bottles into awkward potions, which are the base for most other potions. After that, you can add other ingredients to the top slot to create different effects. For example, adding a golden carrot makes a potion of night vision. You can then add redstone to make the potion last longer, or glowstone dust to make it more powerful. A brewing stand is also the job block for a cleric villager, who will offer trades for magical items.
