History
Java Edition
| Java Edition | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0.0 | Beta 1.9 Prerelease 2 |  Added mundane and extended mundane potions, but they were completely unobtainable. | |||||
| Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 | Brewing stands have been implemented, making mundane potions obtainable without mods. They are brewed by adding redstone to a water bottle. | ||||||

| Mundane potions can now be brewed by adding a ghast tear, blaze powder, magma cream, glistering melon, sugar, or spider eye to a water bottle. | |||||||
| The mundane potion brewed using any of the items listed above is technically different from the mundane potion obtained with redstone: if fermented spider eye is added to a redstone-derived mundane potion, the resulting Weakness potion is extended, otherwise it has the base duration; additionally, the redstone-derived mundane potion cannot be brewed into a splash mundane potion using gunpowder. | |||||||
| 1.9 | 15w31a | Added mundane and splash mundane potions to the Creative inventory. | |||||
| Mundane potions brewed from redstone no longer have different properties from mundane potions brewed from other items. | |||||||
