Required Materials to make this Potion
In Minecraft, these are the materials materials you can use to craft a Potion of Harming (Instant Damage):
How to craft this Potion in Survival Mode
1. Open the Brewing Stand menu
First, open your brewing stand so that you have the Brewing Stand menu that looks like this:
2. Add Blaze Powder to Activate the Brewing Stand
Start by adding blaze powder in the far left box to activate the brewing stand.
3. Add Items to make this Potion
In the Brewing Stand menu, you place ingredients in the top box and the potions are created in the bottom three boxes.
To make a Potion of Harming (Instant Damage), you will need 1 Potion of Poison (0:45) and 1 fermented spider eye.
Place the Potion of Poison (0:45) in one of the bottom boxes in the Brewing Stand menu. Then add the fermented spider eye to the top box.
Once the brewing process is complete, you will hear a "glug glug glug" sound and the fermented spider eye will disappear. The Potion of Harming (Instant Damage) will now be finished.
TIP: If you hover over the potion in the Brewing Stand, you will see the name of the potion and its effects.
Your bottle will now contain a Potion of Harming (Instant Damage).
If you drink the Potion of Harming (Instant Damage), it will instantly cause you 6 points of damage.
You probably don't want to cause yourself 6 points of damage. So, try turning the Potion of Harming (Instant Damage) into a Splash Potion of Harming (Instant Damage) to throw at another mob. This will cause damage to another mob.
