Today, you will learn how to make the Potion of Slowness in Minecraft. You can use the table of contents above to navigate quickly.

This guide is part of the Potion Brewing Guides. I recommend you to check two other related guides, the Potion Guide and Brewing Stand Guide.

Potion of Slowness Overview

All Potion of Slowness with Its Status Effect Icon.

Potion of Slowness is a Potion that has a negative effect. The effect is Slowness. It reduces your movement speed as well as your FOV (Field of View).

• Slowness (level 1) decreases movement speed by 15%.
• Slowness IV reduces movement speed by 60%.
• Both decrease FOV (Field of View).

The Slowness effect decreases speed by 15% × level.

How to Make the Potions

Unlike most of the Potions, the Potion of Slowness is made from another Potion. Before you start making Potion of Slowness, you need to make Potion of Swiftness or Potion of Leaping, then negate their effect using Fermented Spider Eye.

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). 
3. In-game, the extended and upgraded Potion doesn’t come with + and II at the end of its name. Both are marks to lets you differentiate each Potion.

The main ingredient to make Splash Potions is Gunpowder.

In Minecraft Java Edition, use Gunpowder and desired Potion (basic, +, or level II). And your Potion will be converted into Splash Potion, with all effects and durations remaining the same.

In Minecraft Bedrock, use Gunpowder and desired Potion (basic, +, or level II). All the effects remain the same, but the duration changes.

• Basic Splash Potion of Slowness: 01:07 seconds
• Splash Potion of Slowness +: 3 minutes.
• Splash Potion of Slowness II: 00:15 seconds.

3. Lingering Potion of Slowness
