A brewing stand allows players to concoct a range of different potions by combining water bottles with various ingredients like a nether wart, blaze powder, magma cream, glistering melon, spider eyes, sugar, and more. Without a brewing stand, none of this alchemical crafting would be possible.
Potions deliver powerful effects like regeneration, healing, strength, swiftness, fire resistance, water breathing, invisibility, night vision, leaping, slow falling, and more.
Brewing these magical mixtures can quickly change the tide of battle against hostile mobs, or simply make navigating the expansive world of Minecraft more enjoyable.
Given the importance of potions and brewing, the ability to construct a brewing stand is an essential milestone for any player. So let’s break down exactly how it’s done.
How to Make a Brewing Stand in Minecraft
Only two materials are needed to craft a brewing stand – cobblestone (or any other stone) and a blaze rod.
Cobblestone is extremely common in Minecraft, found in caves, strongholds, villages, and more. You can also craft cobblestone by smelting stone. Three blocks of cobblestone are required.
Blaze rods can only be obtained by defeating Blazes in Nether fortresses. Blazes will drop blaze rods, but not always, so you may need to battle multiple to get one. Just one is necessary to make a brewing stand.
Once you have the three cobblestones and one blaze rod, you have all you need to create the brewing stand.
Interact with Crafting Table to Access Grid
With materials in hand, walk up to a crafting table and access the 3×3 crafting grid interface. If you don’t already have an existing crafting table, you can quickly craft one with four wooden planks.
Grid allows you to arrange items to form new blocks and tools. The brewing stand recipe utilizes this grid, so you must access it through a crafting table.
Place Cobblestones and Blaze Rod in Grid
First, place the three cobblestone blocks along the bottom row of the crafting grid, filling the first three slots from left to right.
Next, position the blaze rod in the very center square of the grid.
If done correctly, you’ll see the brewing stand image appear in the result box on the right side of the interface.
Retrieve the Brewing Stand from the Result Slot
Click and drag the brewing stand image from the result slot on the right over into your inventory to claim the newly crafted block.
You can then place the brewing stand wherever you wish and begin using it to concoct potions.
And that’s it. With three cobblestones, one blaze rod, and a crafting table, you can easily assemble a brewing stand to unlock potion brewing in Minecraft.
Conclusion
Potions deliver powerful benefits that can improve quality of life and combat efficacy during gameplay. With the power to turn invisible, breathe underwater, gain night vision and boosted speed, and more, they open up new possibilities.
But again, none of these potion benefits are accessible without first building the brewing stand detailed in this guide. Only through a brewing stand can you unlock swiftness, regeneration, healing, strength, resistance, and other powers.
So invest the time to gather Blaze Rods from the Nether and craft this essential block. It will be more than worth the effort when you’re speeding through biomes, instantly healing mid-fight, or raining harm on enemies.
