Brewing

Brewing (Also known as Alchemy) is a game mechanic that allows a player to brew potions with the help of a brewing stand. Brewing was going to be added in 0.10.0, was was pushed to a further update, possibly 1.0.0. Brewing occurs when a water bottle is placed in one of the three water bottle slots in the brewing stand and a brewing ingredient is placed in the ingredient slot, the result bieng a potion that gives the player (or mob) status effects.

Trivia

 * Most potions require Nether Wart, and crafting the brewing stand itself takes a blaze rod, thus a trip to the nether is required to brew potions.
 * Brewing may require different ingredients if added before the nether.
 * Brewing was going to be added in 0.10.0, but will not be added.
 * In a version of Minecraft PC, brewing required cauldrons. (This may be the case in PE if nether isn't added.)
