Everything starts from a water bottle. Only the Awkward Potion leads to useful potions; the others are dead ends (except Weakness).

Most potions come from an Awkward Potion plus one ingredient: Magma Cream → Potion of Fire Resistance, Glistering Melon Slice → Potion of Healing, Stone → Potion of Infestation, Rabbit's Foot → Potion of Leaping, Golden Carrot → Potion of Night Vision, Slime Block → Potion of Oozing. Redstone extends, glowstone strengthens and a fermented spider eye corrupts a potion; gunpowder and dragon's breath turn it into splash and lingering versions. A brewing stand brews three bottles in 20 seconds, and one blaze powder fuels 20 brews.
