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

In Minecraft, you can brew a Potion of Healing (Instant Health II) that restores more health than a regular Potion of Healing (Instant Health). When this potion is drank, it will give you the Instant Health II effect and immediately add 8 points of health to your health bar.

Let’s explore how to make this potion.

Where to find this Potion in Creative Mode

Here is where you can find a Potion of Healing (Instant Health II) 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 Healing (Instant Health II):

1 Glowstone Dust
1 Potion of Healing (Instant Health)

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 Healing (Instant Health II), you will need 1 Potion of Healing (Instant Health) and 1 glowstone dust.

Place the Potion of Healing (Instant Health) in one of the bottom boxes in the Brewing Stand menu. Then add the glowstone dust to the top box.

Once the brewing process is complete, you will hear a “glug glug glug” sound and the glowstone dust will disappear. The Potion of Healing (Instant Health II) 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 Healing (Instant Health II).

If you drink the Potion of Healing (Instant Health II), it will give you Instant Health II by adding 8 points to your health bar.

At this point, you can add this Potion of Healing (Instant Health II) to your inventory or you can continue and turn the potion into a Splash Potion of Healing (Instant Health II).
