Full list of Minecraft potions and their effects as of May 2021

Potions are an important feature in Minecraft. They allow players to easily defeat bosses, travel in lava/water and even increase jump height. While players can complete Minecraft without brewing a single potion, it would definitely slow down their progress.

All Minecraft players should be aware of the various potions that are available to them so that they can be prepared for any situation in the game.
