Potions Reimagined expands brewing with large and infused bottles, quick-use vials, new effects and potion-soaked snow blocks. Drinking, splash and lingering variants have different uses, while a dedicated brewing stand handles the larger containers. The current 2.7.0 release repairs brewing routes and small infused lingering potions.
Brewing station and bottles
Craft the Reinforced Brewing Stand from three iron ingots, two blaze rods, one netherrack and three polished deepslate blocks. Add blaze powder while it is empty, insert a large bottle, then supply ingredients in recipe order. Brewing takes ten seconds. Sneak and interact to eject its contents while retaining fuel.
A large bottle uses three glass blocks and three prismarine shards. Add a Heart of the Sea for the large infused version; the small infused recipe uses three glass blocks and a Heart of the Sea. Large drinking potions provide three doses per slot. Infused variants increase effect strength where applicable, or duration for effects without stronger tiers.
New effects
Use an Awkward Potion with an ink sac for Blindness, an echo shard for Haste, a shulker shell for Levitation, a wither rose for Catalyzation or an Eye of Ender for Recalling. A fermented spider eye converts Haste into Mining Fatigue and Water Breathing into Nausea. Catalyzation shortens potion durations; Recalling returns you to the recorded starting position when its timer expires.
Other ways to use potions
Large splash potions affect a wider area, while large lingering clouds last longer. Vials sold by wandering traders stack to eight and are consumed quickly, with shorter positive effects. Combine a base potion with four snow blocks to make blocks that apply a brief effect while stood on, even through carpet. Recycle used infused bottles into Powerless Shards and smelt them into Infused Residue Dust for experience-potion brewing. Tipped-arrow crafting is currently unavailable.
Sizes, ranges and duration
- Small drinking potions gain 50% duration and slow movement less while drinking. Small splash potions can be thrown farther, with a four-block effect radius.
- Large splash potions have a six-block radius and twice the effect duration, but a shorter throw distance than small bottles.
- Small lingering clouds remain for about one minute with a three-block radius; large clouds last about two minutes with a five-block radius. Staying in the cloud builds up effect duration.
- Catalyzation halves potion duration and remains until milk or death. Redstone can extend the timer of Recalling through several recipe steps.
Used infused bottles return five Powerless Shards, or fifteen for the large form. A blast furnace converts the shards into Infused Residue Dust, which is used in the experience-potion route. Potion-soaked snow blocks apply their effect for five seconds and return ordinary snowballs when broken. The inventory examples show the available bottle families and snow colors.
