Main article: Brewing

A brewing stand is required to make potions. When right-clicked, the brewing stand interface shows. The brewing stand interface has 4 slots. The bottom 3 slots are for glass bottles. These bottles must be filled with water or a potion. The upper slot is used to brew an ingredient into the potions below. The items which can be used as ingredients on water bottles are: Nether Wart (Awkward potion, the base for other potions), Redstone, Ghast Tears, Glowstone Dust, Gunpowder, Glistering Melon, Magma Cream, Blaze Powder, Sugar, Spider Eyes, Fermented Spider Eyes and Golden Carrots. While distilling an ingredient into the bottles, one ingredient will distill into all three slots. E.g. One Nether Wart will create three Awkward Potions.

	“	Look back at me! Your Cauldron is now a Brewing Stand. Anything's possible when working with interaction design.^[1]	„

Beta
1.9pre1		The vessel used for brewing was originally going to be the Cauldron, but it was replaced by the Brewing Stand.
		When the first brewing stand appeared, it had an additional 2D sub-stand for bottles, (see the first picture in the gallery) but now the stands for bottles have been designed in 3D.
		Brewing took 30 seconds when implemented in 1.9pre1.
1.9pre2		Replaced the Cauldron for brewing potions.
Official release
1.1	12w01a	Brewing time was reduced to 20 seconds.

Issues relating to "Brewing Stand" are maintained on Mojira. Report issues there.

The first version of the brewing stand was textured in 2D, and therefore the bottles of potion liquid were paper-thin and looked too small to hold anything.
The 8 bubbles on the left of the GUI are simply decoration, the arrow on the right shows how long it will take to brew the potions.
Even when the brewing stand is not in use, there is still smoke coming out of the top of it.
The brewing stand emits a low amount of light (light level 1)
When a brewing stand is broken, particles from the bottle will appear, even if no bottle is in the stand.
No matter what potion is in the stand it always looks red.
Brewing stands will always face east, no matter what direction it was placed.
If a non-transparent block is placed next to a brewing stand, the textures of the blaze rod and the bottle supports on the side of the block are unrendered.
