Brewing Stand

A brewing stand is a block used for brewing potions using water bottles and suitable ingredients. It also serves as a cleric's job site block.

Breaking

A brewing stand can be mined with anything, but pickaxes are the fastest. When broken, it also drops all of its contents.

Natural generation

Brewing stands generate in end ships. They have two Instant Health II potions in their holders. A brewing stand also generates in the basement of an igloo with a splash potion of Weakness in it. Brewing stands can generate without potions in village churches.

Usage

By default, the interface of a brewing stand is labeled "Brewing Stand", but this name can be customized by naming it in an anvil before placing it. Brewing stands cannot be pushed by pistons .

Brewing

The main purpose of brewing stands is to brew potions. Their interface can be opened by pressing on them. Brewing stands need blaze powder as fuel. Each piece brews 20 batches of potions, with each stage of brewing counting separately. A single brew takes 20 seconds (400 ticks) to complete. Unlike furnaces, there is no time limit; fuel is consumed only when there are water bottles and an ingredient to brew into it. Brewing stands interact with hoppers as follows: They accept brewing ingredients from hoppers pointing down into the top. Any valid brewing ingredient is pushed into the ingredient slot, regardless of whether it would actually start the brewing process. Any valid potion recipe can be preloaded for "hands-free" brewing of a complex recipe, with the nether wart falling through into the stand for the first step. Bottles (including empty bottles) and fuel are accepted from hoppers pointing into the side. Finished products can be pulled out by hoppers below, but each stage of brewing counts as a batch of "finished" potions. , elements can be combined in the brewing stand to make the medicine potions: antidote, elixir, eye drops, and tonic.

Profession

If a brewing stand has not been claimed by a villager, any nearby unemployed villager has a chance to change their profession to cleric and claim the brewing stand as their job site block.
