Sometimes, just swinging your sword won't cut it. Thankfully Minecraft gives you the option to beef up those swings. One trip to the nether should get you all of the materials you need, things like Glowstone, Blaze powder, Blaze rods, and Nether wart.
All Materials you'll need to create your Strength Potion
- Stone
- Blaze rods
- Nether wart
- Blaze powder
- Redstone
- Glowstone
- Bottles of water
How to build your Brewing Stand, and make your potions
Once you've obtained all of your materials, you can start brewing by creating your Brewing stand. This can be constructed by placing three Cobblestone blocks in a straight line with a Blaze rod in the top middle box of your crafting table.
Next, you'll need energy for your Brewing stand. This is made by breaking down a Blaze rod in your inventory or crafting table—simply place the rod into the crafting slot and you'll have the option to receive two Blaze powders. One Blaze powder, placed into the top left slot of your Brewing stand will give you enough juice to brew twenty potions.
Next, you'll want to place your three Water bottles. These can be put into the bottom three slots on your stand. After that, place your Nether wart into the top slot and let it brew. In a couple of seconds, you will have three Awkward potions.

After you've brewed your Awkward Potions, take your extra Blaze Powder and place it into the slot at the top. After waiting a few seconds, your brand new Strength Potions will be done.
How to make those Strength Potions even stronger
Most would be happy with just the Strength Potion, but Strength Potions can be buffed even further, giving them a longer effect time with added Redstone. Or, Glowstone can even buff your potion with Strength II.
