Making a Brewing Stand in Minecraft
You’ll need a way to put together a potion to protect yourself from fire, just like any good chemist. In the world of Minecraft, this entails constructing a brewing stand.
If you already have access to a brewing stand, proceed to the section on How to Make a Fire Resistance Potion in Minecraft. If you still need to put together a brewing stand, follow the steps below to get started:
Ingredients Required for a Brewing Stand:
- three cobblestones
- 1 flaming rod (obtained by killing a Blaze).
It’s now time to build a brewing stand.
- Navigate to the crafting interface.
- Insert the Blaze rod into the upper middle square.
- Place three cobblestones in a straight line beneath it, one per square.
- Make the stand.
In Minecraft, how do you make a fire resistance potion?
It’s time to make a Fire Resistance potion, so get your Brewing Stand ready.
- Fire-Resistant Ingredients Required:
- The Magma Cream
- The Nether Wart
- A potion bottle containing water
- Use blaze powder to light the brewing stand.
Let’s get started on the potion now that we have all of the ingredients:
- Make a glass bottle out of glass and fill it with water (use it on a water source block).
- Launch the brewing stand interface and fill it with Blaze powder.
- Place a Water Bottle in one of the three lower boxes (or all three, depending on the number of potions you want to make).
- Fill in the upper middle box with a Nether Wart. The water bottle becomes an Awkward Potion after brewing this combination.
- Place Magma Cream in the upper-middle slot where you previously placed the Nether Wart and brew. You should now have a fire-resistance potion in your inventory.
Awkward Potion is created by combining a Nether wart and a glass bottle. Don’t be concerned. That’s what’s supposed to happen. Continue by replacing the Nether Wart in the brewing station with Magma Cream. This is the secret ingredient that provides three minutes of fire resistance.
Fire resistance potions can also be obtained from witches throughout the world. Alternatively, you could barter for fire resistance potions in exchange for gold ingots.
This recipe works the same in all versions of Minecraft, including Bedrock and Java editions.
How to Extend the Life of a Fire Resistance Potion in Minecraft
After making your fire resistance potion, you may have realized that you require it to last longer than the 3 minutes it naturally provides. Don’t be concerned; there is a way to increase that time to 8 minutes.
- First, check to see if you have enough Blaze Powder in your Brewing Stand. If not, put some more in the left-hand slot.
- Then, in the lower slots, place your Fire Resistance Potion (or Potions).
- Put one Redstone Dust in the top slot and wait for it to finish brewing.
- Hover your mouse cursor over Fire Resistance to see the new duration.
If you made three potions at once, you now have a full 24 minutes of Fire Resistance instead of the original 9 minutes.
How to Make a Minecraft Fire Resistance Splash Potion
Gather your ingredients because it’s time to make a fire resistance potion with a splash. You’ll need one gunpowder and one fire resistance potion per bottle of fire resistance splash potion for this recipe.
Once you have all of the ingredients, interact with the brewing stand to open the interface and proceed as follows to make the potion:
- Place the fire resistance potion in one of the three horizontal boxes at the bottom.
- Fill the upper-middle slot with gunpowder.
- Allow it to brew before drinking the new potion.
To brew any potion, simply place Blaze powder in the slot in the upper left corner of the interface. However, blaze powder lasts for multiple brewing sessions, so keep an eye on it and always have another on hand.
In Minecraft, How to Use a Fire Resistance Potion
If the fires around you are getting too hot, the simplest solution is to use a fire resistance potion. Simply equip it and then press your platform’s “use item” button. The “use item” button varies depending on the platform you’re using:
- Left trigger on Xbox
L2 button on the PlayStation
- Windows 10 and Java Editions – Right-click the mouse
- Pocket Edition (PE) – Button with a fish icon
When you correctly consume the potion, you will see a brief drinking animation. You gain temporary immunity to all forms of fire-based damage, including lava, after the animation.

Netherite is fireproof and floats or bounces on lava lakes. Wearing Netherite armor, on the other hand, is a different story. It does not provide the player with fire resistance or immunity to fire damage. Wearing Netherite armor may negate some fire damage, but this is true of any armor you wear versus wearing no armor at all.
