Guide to Crafting the Oozing Potion in Minecraft

In Minecraft, potions play a significant role, enhancing the intricacies of combat. There are various types of potions, including splash potions and consumed potions. Some serve offensive purposes while others are excellent for defense. One of the latest additions to the game is the oozing potion, introduced in the Minecraft 1.21 update.

This article will provide a comprehensive guide on how to craft the oozing potion. The oozing potion has several variants, including the splash potion of oozing, lingering potion, and arrow of oozing. Let’s dive into the brewing process.

To brew the oozing potion or any potion, you’ll need a brewing stand and blaze powder. Blaze powder is acquired by entering the Nether dimension through a nether portal, defeating blaze mobs, and obtaining blaze rods. You can convert these blaze rods into blaze powder using a crafting table.

Additionally, you’ll need nether wart, which is essential for creating the awkward potion—a precursor to many potions, including the oozing potion.

Once you have your brewing stand ready, place blaze powder in the fuel slot of the stand. You’ll also need to create water bottles. You can brew up to three potions of oozing simultaneously by placing three bottles filled with water.

To craft the oozing potion, you’ll require a slime block as well. Note that this is a negative potion, meaning it will be used against mobs rather than consumed by the player. Gunpowder will be necessary to convert the potion into a splash potion. Here’s a summary of what you need:

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create the oozing potion and convert it to the splash potion of oozing:

Insert blaze powder into the fuel slot of the brewing stand (found on the top left side).
Fill the glass bottles with water. You can brew a maximum of three potions at once.
Place nether wart in the top brewing slot to initiate the brewing process. You will receive an awkward potion once complete.
Add a slime block in the top slot where the nether wart was previously placed; this will yield the potion of oozing.
If you want to throw the potion at mobs, convert it into a splash potion by adding gunpowder in the top slot, which will alter the bottle’s appearance.

That concludes the brewing process for the oozing potion and its splash version in Minecraft. Keep in mind that this potion is ineffective against boss mobs and slime blocks. Defeating an infected mob will reward you with two slime blocks.
