You will need a special workbench – Brewing Stand- to make a fire resistance potion. First, you will need to create a basic Awkward Potion. After that, add Magma Cream to complete the fire resistance potion. You can also improve it, make it an splash potion, or lengthen its effect.
While fire resistance spells on gear give up to 32% resistance to the element, a fire-resistance potion gives complete protection. This includes protection from fireballs, lava, and just plain open flames. To make the potion, as in the case of other potions, you will need a brewing stand. It can be created from a crafting table or stolen from the villagers.
Well, here’s how to make a fire resistance potion in Minecraft.
How to make a fire resistance potion in Minecraft
After you have built the brewing stand, you can start to make a potion of fire resistance. To create a potion, you will need several ingredients created separately. It’s worth noting that each potion requires a Blaze powder used as fuel for the brewing stand and a bottle of water.
- So, you need:
- Magma Cream
- A bottle of water
- Blaze powder
- Nether Wart
- Now, open the brewing stand interface and fire up the stand with Blaze powder.
- After that, add a water bottle to one of the bottom three squares.
- Add Nether Wart to the upper middle box. When brewing this combination, the water bottle turns into an Awkward Potion.
- Finally, put the Magma Cream in the upper-middle slot where you put Nether Wart first and brew.
Once you have completed these steps, you will have a fire-resistance potion ready to move into your inventory. Note that this way, you can brew three potions simultaneously. Place not one but three water bottles in the lower sections.
Where you can get ingredients for fire resistance potion in Minecraft
In Minecraft, you can obtain the ingredients for a Fire Resistance potion from specific sources. Here’s where you can find each ingredient:
- Nether Wart: Nether Wart can be found in Nether fortresses or Bastion Remnants in the Nether. It generates soul sand patches within these structures. To collect Nether Wart, break the Nether Wart blocks, and it will drop as an item.
- Magma Cream: Magma Cream is crafted from a Magma Cream item dropped by Magma Cubes. Magma Cubes can be found in the Nether, and they have various sizes. The larger the Magma Cube, the more Magma Cream it will drop when defeated. To craft Magma Cream, combine a Slimeball with Blaze Powder.
- Blaze Powder: Blaze Powder is obtained by crafting Blaze Rods, which Blazes drop in Nether fortresses. Blazes are hostile mobs that appear as floating, fiery creatures in Nether fortresses. When defeated, Blazes have a chance to drop Blaze Rods. To create Blaze Powder, place a Blaze Rod in the crafting table, and it will yield two Blaze Powders.
- Water Bottle: You can obtain a Water Bottle by filling an empty glass bottle with water. To do this, right-click on a water source block with the glass bottle equipped. Water can be found naturally in the Overworld, usually in lakes, rivers, or the ocean. To create an empty water bottle, you need to place three glass blocks in the shape of a triangle in the Crafting Table, as shown below.
Once you have these ingredients, you can create the Fire Resistance potion with a brewing stand. Follow the brewing process mentioned earlier: start with an Awkward Potion (created by brewing Nether Wart with a Water Bottle), then add Magma Cream to create the Fire Resistance Potion.
How to create a brewing stand in Minecraft
You’ll need to create a brewing stand before brewing a fire-resistance potion. To make it, you have to follow these steps:
- First, you need to find 3 cobblestones and 1 Blaze rod.
- Then, open the crafting table and assemble the Blaze rod in the upper middle square.
- Put three cobblestones in the middle 3 squares horizontally.
- Finally, craft the brewing stand.
Brewing Stand is essential for brewing any potions. Please note that you can also find it in almost any settlement or in the witch’s house in the swamps. To collect it you will need at least a stone pickaxe.
What are the variations of the fire resistance potion in Minecraft
An extended fire-resistance potion can be made with Redstone dust. This version gives eight minutes of protection instead of three from a standard potion. You can find step-by-step instructions on how to make it below.
You can get an Splash fire-resistance potion version to protect companions or pets by brewing a fire-resistance potion from gunpowder. Unlike a standard potion, you can throw it at someone instead of just drinking it. You can find step-by-step instructions on how to make it below.
Although Fire Resistance Potion is the easiest to make, many players use other ways to protect themselves. For example, rare items such as Enchanted Golden Apple, Enigma Stew, and Fire Resistance Arrows provide the same resistance as a potion.
Also, don’t forget the enchantments that protect the aforementioned 32%.
How to create an extended fire resistance potion in Minecraft
To extend the duration of the Fire Resistance Potion, place Redstone Dust in the brewing stand along with the Fire Resistance Potion. Fire it up with Blaze powder and wait. This will create the Extended Fire Resistance Potion.
Once the brewing process is complete, you’ll have an Extended Fire Resistance Potion with a longer duration. When you drink this potion, you’ll be protected from fire and lava damage for 8 minutes instead of three in a standard potion. It is perfect for exploring the Nether or handling any fiery challenges in the game.
How to create an explosive fire resistance potion in Minecraft
This splash fire resistance potion differs only in that it can be thrown. Other than the ingredients, there are no differences. An splash fire resistance potion will also hang the “Flame Resistance” effect, give immunity, and the timing is the same as in the usual one.
Of course, the time depends on the potion used as a base. For example, an splash potion will last for 3 minutes if a normal fire resistance potion is used. If you decide to create such a potion, then keep in mind that the following resources will be required:
- Gunpowder (extracted from creepers, gusts, witches, or by trade).
- Fire resistance potion (you can use a normal or enhanced potion if you wish).
After that, you can start potion-making. For ease of understanding, we recommend sticking to the following instructions:
- Open the brewing stand.
- Put gunpowder in the top slot in the center.
- Then put a fire resistance potion in the center bottom slot (normal or extended).
- Next, put the Blaze powder in the fuel slot on the left side.
And now all that remains is to wait for the potion to be ready.
What’s the command to get a fire resistance potion
A fire-resistance potion can be summoned with a command in creative mode. To do this, you need the following:
- Open chat (English “T” key).
- Write the command
/give @p minecraft:potion{Potion: "fire_resistance"}. - Press the “Enter” key.
You can also specify the amount and to whom the fire resistance potions will be issued. For example, to get 10 fire resistance potions, you would write “/give @p minecraft:potion{Potion: "fire_resistance"} 10“.
And this command means that the fire resistance potion will be transferred to the player with the nickname MinecraftIsMyLife: /give MinecraftIsMyLife minecraft:potion{Potion: "fire_resistance"}
