Potion of Strength Overview

All Potion of Strengths, with its status effect icon.

Potion of Strength is a Potion that has a positive effect. The effect is Strength. It increases the attack damage.

• Strength (level 1) increases attack damage by 3 (1 and a half Heart).
• Strength II increases attack damage by 6 (3 Hearts).

In Minecraft Bedrock, Strength (level 1) increases attack by 130%, and Strength II increases attack by 260%. Despite showing percentage over Health Points, both effects are the same as in the Java Edition. 

How to Make the Potion

Before making Potion of Strength, 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). 
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.
