To make a Potion of Harming (Instant Damage II), you will need 1 Potion of Harming (Instant Damage) and 1 glowstone dust.

Place the Potion of Harming (Instant Damage) in one of the bottom boxes in the Brewing Stand menu. Then add the glowstone dust to the top box.

Crafting recipe for potion of harming (extended)

Once the brewing process is complete, you will hear a "glug glug glug" sound and the glowstone dust will disappear. The Potion of Harming (Instant Damage II) 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.

Completed potion of harming (extended)

Your bottle will now contain a Potion of Harming (Instant Damage II).

If you drink the Potion of Harming (Instant Damage II), it will instantly cause you 12 points of damage.

You probably don't want to cause yourself 12 points of damage. So, try turning the Potion of Harming (Instant Damage II) into a Splash Potion of Harming (Instant Damage II) to throw at another mob. This will cause damage to another mob.
