What is Splash Potion in Minecraft?
A Splash Potion is a throwable version of a regular potion in Minecraft. Instead of drinking it, you throw a Splash Potion, and it shatters on impact, creating a small area of effect. Any mob or player within that area will be affected by the potion. This is incredibly useful for a few reasons. You can use Splash Potions with negative effects, like Harming or Poison, as a ranged weapon against your enemies. You can also use Splash Potions with positive effects, like Healing or Strength, to quickly help yourself and your friends at the same time during a fight. They are a very versatile tool for both combat and support, allowing you to apply potion effects quickly and to multiple targets at once.
How to get Splash Potion in Minecraft
To get a Splash Potion, you first need to brew a regular potion using a brewing stand. This involves starting with a water bottle, adding nether wart to create an Awkward Potion, and then adding another ingredient to give it an effect, like a glistering melon for healing or a spider eye for poison. Once you have your regular potion, you need to make it throwable. To do this, you need one piece of gunpowder. Gunpowder can be obtained by defeating Creepers, Ghasts, or witches. Take your brewed potion and place it in one of the bottom slots of the brewing stand. Then, place the gunpowder in the top ingredient slot. The brewing process will begin, and after a short time, your regular potion will be transformed into a Splash Potion.
How to use Splash Potion in Minecraft
To use a Splash Potion, hold it in your hand and right click to throw it. It will travel in an arc and shatter when it hits a block or a mob. The potion's effect will be applied in a radius of about 4 blocks from the point of impact. The closer a mob or player is to the center of the splash, the longer the duration of the effect they will receive. This is great for hitting multiple enemies at once with a Potion of Harming, or for quickly healing yourself and your pets during a dangerous battle with a Splash Potion of Healing. Be careful when using potions with negative effects, as you can accidentally hit yourself or your friends if you throw it too close.
