Minecraft’s Splash Potion of Weakness has some fairly niche uses—one involving zombies and inflicting a status effect, but both are quite useful in the right circumstances. It’s a bit of a process, so we’ll show you how to make a Splash Potion of Weakness in Minecraft and what it does.
How to Make Splash Potion of Weakness in Minecraft
You got a pen and paper? Because making a Potion of Weakness in Minecraft, let alone a Splash Potion of Weakness, will have you running to Home Depot for a handful of goods. Start by:
- Crafting a Brewing Stand and Crafting Table.
Making a crafting table needs no introduction, but a brewing stand needs either x3 Cobblestone or Blackstone and a single Blaze Rod from Blazes, which you’ll find in Nether Fortresses. Grab a few as you’ll need some for later.
- Craft Blaze Powder and Water Bottles.
Blaze Powder is made by dropping a Blaze Rod into the crafting table. That’s it! As for Water Bottles, place Glass in the shape of a V, then fill said bottoms with water from any source.
- Craft a Fermented Spider Eye.
To do this, you’ll need a single Spider Eye, Sugar, and Brown Mushroom, placed inside a crafting table. To find those ingredients, you can check out our specialized guide on getting Fermented Spider Eyes in Minecraft!
- Craft a Potion of Weakness.
Now, go to your brewing station and place a Water Bottle in one of the three slots along the bottom, the Fermented Spider Eye at the top and Blaze Powder on the left to start the brew.
- Craft a Splash Potion of Weakness.
You’re almost there! You’ll need Gunpowder, which you can get off of exploding Creepers and are quite easy to find. Place the Potion of Weakness in your brewing station, then the Gunpowder at the top and, again, power it with Blaze Powder on the left.
Now you have yourself a single Splash Potion of Weakness! Hurray! You can make a much more effective version with one simple trick, too. First, mix Redstone with a Potion of Weakness, then mix in Gunpowder after. It’ll make the potion’s effect last much longer.
What Does a Splash Potion of Weakness Do in Minecraft?
Tossing a Splash Potion of Weakness at players and enemies causes the Weakness status effect. It’ll lower the amount of melee damage they do, which is handy in a pinch
Along with Golden Apples, you can also use it on a Zombie Villager to reanimate them. Why do that? Well, because you can get a trading discount!
