How to make Minecraft oozing potion

Potions are some of the most interesting parts of Minecraft as they add to the complexity of combat in the game. There are different kinds of potions like splash potions and consume potions. Some can be used offensively while others are great defense options. Among the many potions in Minecraft is the oozing potion, which was a recent addition to the game.

In this article, we will explain how you can craft the oozing potion. This potion was added in the Minecraft 1.21 update and has multiple variants such as splash potion of oozing, lingering potion, and even arrow of oozing. Here’s a detailed guide on brewing it.

To brew the oozing potion or any potion for that matter, you will need the brewing stand and blaze powder. Blaze powder can be obtained by going into the nether dimension via the nether portal, defeating the blaze mob, and then getting the blaze rod. The blaze rod can be converted into blaze powder using the crafting table.

Make sure to get a nether wart as well. Nether wart is absolutely necessary for making the awkward potion in Minecraft, which is a precursor to many potions, including the oozing potion.

Once you have the brewing stand, place the blaze powder into the fuel slot of the stand. You need to also make water bottles and fill them with water. You can put three bottles at the same time if you need three potions of oozing.

To make the new potion in Minecraft, you need a slime block as well. This is a negative potion (meaning it should be used on a mob rather than you consuming it), so you will also need gunpowder to convert the potion to the splash potion. In summary, you need:

• Brewing stand
• Nether wart
• Blaze powder
• Glass bottle
• Slime block
• Gunpowder

Here is a step-by-step guide on making the oozing potion and then converting it to the splash potion of oozing:

• Place the blaze powder into the fuel slot of the brewing stand. This is on the top left side.
• Fill bottles with water. You can put up to three bottles at once based on your need.
• Place the nether wart on the top slot of the brewing stand and this will start the brewing process. Once it ends, you will get the awkward potion.
• Now, place a slime block on the top slot where the nether wart was placed. This will give you the potion of oozing.
• You can take it out now, but if you want to throw it at mobs, you need to convert it into a splash potion.
• To do that, place gunpowder on the top slot and this will change the shape of the bottle.

That was the process of making the potion and the splash potion of oozing in Minecraft. Do note that this potion will not work on boss mobs and slime blocks. An infected mob will give two slime blocks when killed.
