What is the Weakness Potion Recipe in Minecraft?
A Potion of Weakness is a tool in Minecraft that when comes into contact with a player reduces their health by 0.5 of what it previously was. It is mostly used during an attack to incur damage to the opponent. It is worth noting that the Potion of Weakness only reduces the damage caused by melee attacks, while weapons still inflict their usual damage. Typically, the potion lasts for 90 seconds, but you can prolong its effect by adding Redstone Dust to it.

Crafting a weakness potion is not difficult. We just need to assemble a few ingredients and then cook.
Ingredients to make Potion of Weakness in Minecraft
In order to make a Potion of Weakness or Weakness Potion in Minecraft, you would require the following ingredients.
- Brewing Stand: A Brewing Stand is similar to a crafting table as it can be used to mix multiple items to obtain a particular tool. We will use it to make a Weakness Potion. You can find the Brewing Stand block in villages at villager job’s workstations. However, one can craft it using 3 cobblestone blocks and a blaze rod.
- Water Bottle: Water bottle is an essential ingredient in the Weakness Potion recipe and should not be overlooked. In order to make a glass water bottle, you need to have 3 glass blocks that can be created by heating sand in a furnace. Once you have 3 glass blocks, go to the middle row and place two of the blocks on each side of the row. Next up, you need to put the third glass block in the center of the bottom row of the crafting area.
- Blaze Powder: Blaze Powder is an utmost ingredient of the potion. In order to create it, put blaze rods on the crafting table and it will give the required powder. Blaze rods can be obtained by going to the Nether dimensions and killing blazes.
- Fermented Spider Eye: Last but not least, we need a fermented spider eye to make a Weakness Potion. In order to make it, you need spider eye, pretty evident from the name itself, one brown mushroom, you can get it from the nether, swamps, and other biomes, and sugar. Once you have them, pull out a Crafting table, put all the ingredients on it, and then it will give what’s required, a fermented spider eye.
So, these were all the ingredients required to make a Potion of Weakness in Minecraft.
