Potion of Fire Resistance in Minecraft
We are going over the basics, ingredients, and the brewing process of the Potion of Fire Resistance in separate sections. You can go through them as per your interest.
What is a Potion of Fire Resistance in Minecraft
As its name suggests, the Potion of Fire Resistance provides complete protection from all fire-based damage in Minecraft. With its effects, you can avoid damage from fire, soul fire, magma blocks, fire charges, fireballs, and even lava. It is the ultimate potion to explore the Nether dimension without worrying about its fire-based dangers.
Furthermore, as a secondary benefit, this potion also allows you to see more clearly under lava. This effect isn't as good as what the Potion of Night Vision provides but is definitely a welcoming benefit.
Limitations of Fire Resistance
While the fire resistance effects might seem fail-safe, they cannot protect you from the following:
- Ghast fireball attacks
- Touch of Blaze mobs
- Items like TNT that are triggered by a fire
Furthermore, even though you are resistant to damage from fire, your body can still catch fire while under this effect. So, if you are unable to put the fire out before the potion's effects run out, your inflamed body will take damage.
Items Required to Make Potion of Fire Resistance
You need to obtain the following items to brew a Potion of Fire Resistance in Minecraft:
- Magma Cream
- Awkward Potion
- Brewing Stand
The Brewing Stand is the main functional block that you must get to brew any potion in the game. You can use our linked guide to create one in no time. Moreover, in the process, you will also collect Blaze rods by killing Blazes in the Nether. These rods can be turned into Blaze powder with a crafting table and the powder can be used to power the stand.
Not to forget, while you are in the Nether fortress, don't forget to look for Nether warts farms. You need this fungus to create a potion for Potion of Fire Resistance in Minecraft.
How to Get Magma Cream
The magma cream, if you haven't guessed already, is the main ingredient that gives power to a Potion of Fire Resistance in Minecraft. So, follow these simple steps to obtain it in no time:
1. First, look around the Nether until you find magma cubes, which are hostile mobs exclusive to that dimension.
2. Then, kill the magma cubes to make them drop magma cream. Keep in mind that only the smallest magma cubes drop any loot. The larger ones only keep on separating themselves into smaller parts. So, you will have to keep slaying them. Though, a diamond sword might speed up the process.
3. Alternatively, you can also combine Blaze powder with slime balls to turn them into magma cream. But, for that, you will have to kill slimes first which are much harder to find than magma cubes.
How to Make Potion of Fire Resistance in Minecraft (3:00)
After collecting all the vital ingredients, follow these simple steps to brew a Fire Resistance Potion in Minecraft:
1. First, open your brewing stand by right-clicking or using the secondary action key on it.
2. Then, place the Blaze powder in the left-side fuel cell to power the stand.
3. Next, put Nether warts in the top slot of the stand and water bottles in the bottom slots. The Brewing Stand will slowly create an Awkward potion.
4. Finally, place the magma cream in the top slot and let it turn the awkward potion into a Potion of Fire Resistance.
Make Extended Fire Resistance Potion (8:00)
The regular Potion of Fire Resistance only last for a mere 3 minutes. That duration might be enough to avoid death due to accidental fire but it's not reliable to avoid lava or planned attacks. Fortunately, it's quite easy to extend its duration with the following steps:
1. First, look for Redstone ores that spawn in the caves of the overworld. You can use our Minecraft ore distribution guide to easily find this ore in a few minutes.
2. Then, use a pickaxe in Minecraft to mine the ore and obtain Redstone dust.
3. Next, brew the collected Redstone dust into the Potion of Fire Resistance using a Brewing Stand to extend its duration. The new potion will last for a total of 8 minutes. Such a duration is more than enough to even swim through an ocean of lava unharmed.
Easy Method to Make a Potion of Fire Resistance in Minecraft
You are now ready to explore the world of Minecraft without worrying about any flames engulfing you. However, the Potion of Fire Resistance in Minecraft can't protect you from any other damage so you should also keep a shield handy. Though, if you are riding a camel with the help of a saddle, most of the hostile mobs won't even be able to touch you. And if any mobs do manage to harm your ride, a Potion of Healing can help you quickly restore its health. Now that you are well-prepared, it's time to embark on your Minecraft adventure!
