Forbidden Brews

Sixteen magical potion families, forty-four drinkable and splash items, distinct animated pixel bottles, and a Netherite-powered Chaos Brewing Stand.

Brew something forbidden

Craft Netherite Wart from Nether Wart and Netherite Scrap. Grow it on Soul Sand and use one Wart in every recipe. Craft the Chaos Brewing Stand with a Netherite Ingot, a Brewing Stand, two Amethyst Shards, two Obsidian and a Blaze Rod. Its animated interface lets you select a recipe directly; insert a drinkable potion to reveal upgrades and splash conversion. One Blaze Powder fuels twenty brews.

Craft the Chaos Brewing Stand

Use a crafting table: 2 Amethyst Shards, 1 Brewing Stand, 1 Netherite Ingot, 2 Obsidian and 1 Blaze Rod. The recipe produces one Chaos Brewing Stand.

Sixteen potion families

• Fortune / Looting I–III: add enchantment levels, stacking with your tool or weapon, for 2 / 5 / 8 minutes.
• Homeward / Random Teleport: safe travel to spawn or a random location in the same dimension.
• Double Ore / Hot Pick: doubled resource drops and instant ore smelting; compatible with Fortune and respecting Silk Touch.
• Inversion I–III: a harmful upside-down view for 11 / 22 / 45 seconds.
• Creeper Heart: drinking creates a Creeper-like explosion with reduced self-damage; splash explodes like TNT.
• Truce / Swarm: calm hostile mobs until provoked, or summon additional hostile mobs even in daylight.
• Ore Seeker: reveals every loaded ore within 32 blocks through walls, with recognizable actual textures.
• Hunter: reveals hostile mobs within 32 blocks and buttons, pressure plates and tripwires within 24 blocks.
• Night Wings: become a bat and fly using double-tap Jump, then Jump/Sneak to rise/descend.
• Juggernaut: become the Brute, double your maximum health, gain +3 attack damage and mine a native 4×4 area. Bedrock and blocks harder than Obsidian remain protected.
• Shapeshifter: a persistent random form from fifteen mobs.
• Gravity: each separate Jump press switches between rising and descending.

All families have splash versions. Timed potions without levels last two minutes. Milk removes active effects. Transformations preserve player inventory and identity; ordinary mobs retain their AI.
