This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a Potion of Harming (Instant Damage) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, you can brew a Potion of Harming (Instant Damage) and add it to your inventory. When this potion is drank, it will give you the Instant Damage effect and immediately cause 6 points of damage to your health.

Let’s explore how to make this potion.

Where to find this Potion in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find a Potion of Harming (Instant Damage) in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform Version(s) Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8 – 1.19
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3 – 1.20
  • Platform is the platform that applies.
  • Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).
  • Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

Required Materials to make this Potion

In Minecraft, these are the materials materials you can use to craft a Potion of Harming (Instant Damage):

1 Fermented Spider Eye
1 Potion of Poison (0:45)

How to craft this Potion in Survival Mode

1. Open the Brewing Stand menu

First, open your brewing stand so that you have the Brewing Stand menu that looks like this:

2. Add Blaze Powder to Activate the Brewing Stand

Start by adding blaze powder in the far left box to activate the brewing stand.

3. Add Items to make this Potion

In the Brewing Stand menu, you place ingredients in the top box and the potions are created in the bottom three boxes.

To make a Potion of Harming (Instant Damage), you will need 1 Potion of Poison (0:45) and 1 fermented spider eye.

Place the Potion of Poison (0:45) in one of the bottom boxes in the Brewing Stand menu. Then add the fermented spider eye to the top box.

Once the brewing process is complete, you will hear a “glug glug glug” sound and the fermented spider eye will disappear. The Potion of Harming (Instant Damage) will now be finished.

TIP: If you hover over the potion in the Brewing Stand, you will see the name of the potion and its effects.

Your bottle will now contain a Potion of Harming (Instant Damage).

If you drink the Potion of Harming (Instant Damage), it will instantly cause you 6 points of damage.

You probably don’t want to cause yourself 6 points of damage. So, try turning the Potion of Harming (Instant Damage) into a Splash Potion of Harming (Instant Damage) to throw at another mob. This will cause damage to another mob.
