In Minecraft, players can create potions that give them special abilities. Though they are important in a regular single-player world, they are absolutely essential in Hardcore mode. There are both positive and negative potions that players can either drink themselves, or throw towards hostile mobs. Most positive concoctions are essential in Hardcore mode.
In this particular variant, players only have one life. This means that they will not respawn normally if they lose all 10 hearts, but will only be able to see the world in spectator mode. Hence, defending and protecting oneself becomes a top priority. Here are some of the potions that are extremely important when playing on such a difficulty.
