Potion of Freezing is a new potion in Minecraft that inflicts the Freezing effect on the target. Can cause slow down of affected entities, decrease in jumping ability, and freezing damage over time. You will need a Brewing Stand, an Awkward Potion, and an Ice Ball.
Minecraft’s content and snapshot development have something to do with the Potion of Freezing. Availability may be game-dependent; you may not be able to collect the ingredients. Please check your game version before collecting the ingredients.
Items Required to Make a Potion of Freezing
Before starting the brewing process, collect the following items:
- Ice Ball: The special ingredient required for the Potion of Freezing.
- Brewing Stand: Used to brew potions.
- Blaze Powder: Powers the Brewing Stand.
- Glass Bottles: Used to hold the potion.
- Water: Needed to fill the bottles.
- Nether Wart: Used to prepare an Awkward Potion.
Your Awkward Potion should be made first, before adding the Ice Ball. This allows you to monitor the brewing process more easily, particularly if you’re preparing several concoctions.
Step 1: Find an Ice Ball
Investigate locations that Frostbites show up and overcome a Frostbite that carries or drops an Ice Ball. Remember, mobs might show up in other locations and fall in different game versions, so consult the notes of the latest version if you don’t see one.
When you have an Ice Ball, you are ready to work on making your base potion.
Step 2: Make an Awkward Potion
A Potion of Freezing is made with the base of an Awkward Potion.
Follow these steps:
- Place a Brewing Stand on the ground.
- Add Blaze Powder to its fuel slot.
- Fill Glass Bottles with water.
- Put the Water Bottles into the bottom slots of the Brewing Stand.
- Place Nether Wart in the ingredient slot at the top.
- Wait for the brewing process to finish.
You will convert your Water Bottles into Awkward Potions. Make sure to have these on hand for the next step.
Step 3: Make the Potion of Freezing
With the Awkward Potion and the Ice Ball, you will be able to make the Potion of Freezing.
- Open the Brewing Stand.
- Make sure it has enough Blaze Powder to operate.
- Place your Awkward Potion bottles in the bottom slots.
- Put an Ice Ball in the top ingredient slot.
- Wait for the brewing process to complete.
If your game version supports this recipe, the Awkward Potions will turn into Potions of Freezing.
Use up to three potion bottles in the bottom of the pot to make several brews. It can come in handy in the event that you need to create potions for more than one encounter.
What Does the Potion of Freezing Do?
Potion of Freezing affects entities, putting them into the Freezing status. According to Minecraft’s snapshot information, the effect makes players shake and gradually become frozen, similar to the effect of standing in Powder Snow.
The effect over time can also result in damage. The potion could be helpful when fighting certain mobs due to their susceptibility to freezing.
Freezing damage protection is enhanced by leather armor, but it would not negate the effect if applied or have a beneficial effect if damage has occurred.
How to Make a Splash Potion of Freezing
Sometimes, you don’t want to use a regular potion while targeting another player or mob. A Splash Potion of Freezing can be thrown, rather than drunk.
If the recipe is available for that version of Minecraft, then put the Potion of Freezing in the Brewing Stand and Gunpowder in the ingredient slot. After brewing, you will have a throwable version!
Use it carefully, and in combat, be wary of nearby entities, as the effect can be transmitted via the potion depending on its landing location.
How to Make Arrows of Freezing
Arrows of Freezing will have the Freezing effect when they strike a target. In the Minecraft Java snapshot recipe, they can be made by putting a Lingering Potion of Freezing in the center of a Crafting Table and 8 arrows on the sides.
In order to prepare the lingering potion, the Potion of Freezing must first be made into a Splash Potion using Gunpowder, and then Dragon’s Breath should be added to the potion (if it is available in your version).
A new addition for this recipe, so be sure to review the recipe in your edition before you go through a ton of effort to collect the materials.
