Minecraft Potions Guide: Brewing Prepare
What you will need for every potion:

- Blaze Powder. When you kill a Blaze, there is a chance it will drop a blaze rod. Each blaze rod can be broken down into two blaze powders.
- One extra ingredient
Recipe to craft a water bottle:
- Three Glass blocks
- One bucket of water. To fill the water bottles with water, find a nearby water source, tap on the water source with the empty glass bottle in your hand, and it will fill the bottle with water.
