Potion of Healing is a Potion that has a positive effect. The effect is Instant Health. It instantly gives health points once Potion of Healing is used. Because of this, Potion of Healing doesn’t have any duration and extended Potion (+).

  • Instant Health (level 1) heals 4 (2 Hearts). 
  • Instant Health II heals 8 (4 Hearts).
  • Those apply to Potion of Healing and Splash Potion of Healing.

Undead mobs get damaged when Splash or Lingering Potion of Healing is thrown to them.

How to Make the Potions

Before making Potion of Healing, make sure you make Awkward Potions first by putting Nether Wart and Water Bottles into the Brewing Stand.

Notes: 

  1. When Brewing any Potions, make sure you put three Potions (or Water Bottles, if you try to make Awkward Potions) for the Output. 
  2. There are three types of Potions you can make. The first one is the basic, the second one (with + at the end of its name) comes extended duration, and level II (with increased effect power and lower time). But in this case, there are only two, the basic one and level II.
