Necessary requirements

If you are wondering how to make a potion of weakness in Minecraft, the first thing you need to do is get the materials you need to be able to craft it. The instructions I’m about to give you are valid both for the Java Edition of Minecraft, which is the version available only for PC, and for the Bedrock Edition, available on consoles, mobile devices and PCs with Windows 10 and later. In case there are differences in some points of the procedure, I will point them out to you in the course of the guide, but for everything else you can take advantage of this information regardless of the version of Minecraft you are using!

First of all, to create any potion you need the Alembic, that is the block from which you can make any type of potion. To create it, you need to place 3 blocks of crushed stone horizontally and 1 rod of blaze inside a workbench.

You can find the Blaze Rods from the corresponding mobs that drop the item upon their death, the Blazes. The latter are generated inside the Nether, more specifically thanks to Mob spawners located in the Nether Fortresses. When you find structures in the Nether, then, be sure to explore them thoroughly to find the Blazes and get the Blaze Rods you need.

Similarly to the furnaces, the stills also need fuel in order to function. For the latter, however, objects such as Coal or Wood cannot be used, because the Alembic accepts only Blaze Dust as fuel, which you can obtain by simply placing a Blaze Rod inside the crafting area (each Rod of blaze equals 2 units of Blaze Powder ).

Next, you need the Ampoules, inside which, of course, will be the potion itself. To create them you have to open a workbench and place 3 units of Glass : by doing so you will get 3 Ampoules.

Finally, you need to fill the ampoules with water. You can do this by simply holding them and right-clicking on any water source to get a water bottle.

How to make potion of weakness in Minecraft

If you have all the elements that I showed you in the previous chapter, I can go ahead and show you how the potion of weakness is made in Minecraft.

First, then, place the Alembic on the ground and right-click on it to open it. Then, insert the Blaze powder inside the space provided for the fuel and then the water bottles in the spaces below: you can insert up to 3 at a time and all will receive the same effect.

Now that everything is ready, you must know that the potion of weakness is the only exception among all the others: to create it, in fact, you do not need to start by making a strange potion, but simply using ampoules of water accompanied by a fermented spider’s eye as an ingredient.

To create a Fermented Spider Eye, you must place a Spider Eye (which Spiders can drop upon their death), a Brown Mushroom and 1 unit of Sugar (obtainable from Sugar Canes ) inside a Workbench.

Now that you have the ‘ Fermented Spider Eye, you must place it inside of the still in the space of the ingredients. At this point the game is done: the Alembic will start distilling the ampoules of water and, within a few seconds, they will become Potions of weakness.

The basic Potion of Weakness has a duration of 1 minute and 30 seconds, but it is possible to extend its duration even further. All you have to do is leave the Potions of Weakness inside the Alembic and place 1 unit of Redstone Dust in the ingredient space. At the end of the distillation, you will find yourself with 3 Potions of Weakness lasting 4 minutes each.

To use it, just hold it and keep the right click pressed until the bottle is empty. Obviously, however, this type of potion is generally not meant to inflict the effect on oneself, but to inflict it on one’s enemies. For this reason I recommend that you continue reading this guide to learn how to create a throwable potion.

How to make a castable potion of weakness

To use Weakness Potions offensively, you need to make them Throwing Potions.

If you are wondering how to make a castable potion of weakness in Minecraft, then, first you need to get yourself some Gunpowder. You can get it simply by killing Creepers, who will release it when they disappear.

Next, you have to open the Alembic and place the Gunpowder in the ingredients space and the Potions of Weakness in the spaces of the ampoules: the result will be 3 Throwing Potions of Weakness.

To use Potions of Weakness Launching, simply hold them, aim where you want to launch them, and then right-click. By doing so, the effect of the potion will be inflicted on all entities. However, I recommend that you be careful: if you are too close to the “explosion” of the potion, you will also be affected by its effect!
