Minecraft is a game that continues to maintain its popularity despite having been on the market for years. A game that millions of people around the world play and that continues to introduce new elements over time. One concept that may sound familiar to many is the Potion of Weakness, which you've probably heard of on occasion. This potion is part of the alchemy in the game.
Next we will tell you all about this potion of weakness that we can use in Minecraft. We tell you what this potion is, what it can be used for in the well-known game, as well as how to get it in our account. It is the information you need to know everything about this potion that can play an important role in this game.
What is the potion of weakness in Minecraft
The potion of weakness is a type of potion that we can use in the game. It is a potion that is within the category of negative effect and thanks to it it is possible to heal the villagers who have turned into a zombie. It also allows us to reduce the resistance of a target that we have in the game, so it really is a potion that has two different purposes, which we will be able to use at all times.
This potion can reduce the damage that can be dealt by a player or a mob by about 0,5 points (a quarter of a heart if we want to see it in this measure). That is why it is presented as a tool of enormous help in all kinds of situations in the game. It is a potion that is used a lot in Minecraft, so there are many players who want to know how it can be obtained or prepared.
The normal potion of weakness used in the game It lasts 1:30 minutes. This is something that can work well, but if we want it to work longer, there is a way to do it. We simply have to use redstone on the potion stand. Thanks to this, the potion will last 4 minutes in total, so it can be more effective in this way and it can help us in our strategy.
Ingredients to create this potion
As with any other potion that we have to prepare in the game, a number of ingredients are needed concrete to be able to create this potion of weakness in Minecraft. In this specific case, we are going to need special ingredients, in addition to needing certain amounts of some of them. If you were looking to know what ingredients you need, as well as their amounts, this is the list:
- Three glass bottles.
- Sugar.
- Mushrooms.
- Eye of spider.
- Gunpowder
- Red stone.
The ingredients in this potion are not too difficult to find, if we know where we can find them in the game universe. To find the sugar we must always go to the edges of an island, where sugar cane is usually found. We will have to take this sugar cane and then proceed to refine it, so that we obtain that sugar that we are going to use in this recipe for the potion in the game.
Mushrooms are normally found in the Rufest Forest mines, not always in all of them, but with entering some mines we are sure to be lucky and find them directly. In the case of the spider eye, it is something more special. We will have to wait for night in Minecraft to find and then kill a spider. Then we can only hope to have some luck and that he will give us his eye, which we will later use in said recipe for the potion of weakness. You may have to test this with a couple of spiders in the game.
How to prepare the potion of weakness in Minecraft
Once we have the ingredients in question mentioned in the previous section, we can now focus on preparing this potion on our own. The brewing this potion of weakness in Minecraft it can be divided into two steps really. Since in the first place we have to create the so-called fermented eye that we are going to use in the potion, and then carry out that second step where we finish this potion and then use it. The steps in question are:
- First we have to create a fermented eye. This is something that will be achieved by crafting the sugar, the mushroom and the spider eye that we have obtained. In this case the order in which these objects are used does not matter.
- In the second step we have to use that fermented eye to create said potion using the glass bottles filled with water. If this doesn't work and we can't add that eye, first try adding a wart A. Then we add the fermented eye. This process usually works perfectly.
These steps allow you to have this potion ready, but in this way the potion can only be taken, that is, it cannot be thrown at an enemy that is just negative. This is not something we want, because what it would do would be for us to become weaker and lose points. What we have to do is make this potion throwable, so we can use it in Minecraft against targets or enemies at times when we need it.
The process of making it castable is simply to improve the potion, something we do adding gunpowder. It is the element that allows you to launch enemies in the game. Although this process also has an important consequence, which is that it takes a minute from it (remember that it lasts 1:30). So after having made the potion launchable, it is essential that we add the improvement to increase its duration.
We then add that red stone, which will increase its duration, becoming a total of three minutes in this way. It is a good duration that allows a good effect of it when we need to use it.
