how to make a slow falling potion

To make a slow falling potion in Minecraft, you brew an awkward potion first, then add a phantom membrane in a brewing stand powered by blaze powder.

Quick Scoop

• Core idea: Turn water bottles into awkward potions with nether wart, then into slow falling potions using phantom membrane.

• Effect: You fall very slowly and take no fall damage while the effect lasts, which is perfect for end cities, elytra mishaps, or high cliffs.

• Duration: Base version lasts 1:30, and you can extend it to 4:00 with redstone dust.

What you need

Ingredients:

• 1 Water bottle
• 1 Nether wart
• 1 Phantom membrane

Tools:

• Brewing stand
• Blaze powder (fuel)
• Crafting table (to help make blaze powder and glass bottles)

Optional modifiers:

• Redstone dust (to extend to 4 minutes)
• Gunpowder (to make a splash slow falling potion)
• Dragon’s breath (to make a lingering slow falling potion)

Step‑by‑step brewing

1. Set up the brewing stand
   • Place the brewing stand down and open its interface.

 * Put blaze powder in the left fuel slot to power it.

2. Make awkward potions
   • Fill glass bottles with water to get water bottles.

 * Put up to three water bottles in the bottom slots of the brewing stand.

 * Place 1 nether wart in the top slot and let it brew; the bottles become awkward potions.

3. Brew the slow falling potion
   • Leave the awkward potions in the bottom slots.

 * Put 1 phantom membrane in the top slot and wait for it to finish; you now have Potions of Slow Falling (1:30).

Upgrades: longer, splash, lingering

• Extend to 4 minutes
  • Put your Potions of Slow Falling (1:30) in the brewing stand.

* Add redstone dust to the top slot to get Potions of Slow Falling (4:00).

• Make a splash slow falling potion
  • Put any slow falling potion in the brewing stand.

* Add gunpowder on top to turn it into a splash potion of slow falling.

* Throw it slightly above yourself so the cloud hits you and you keep the full duration.

• Make a lingering slow falling potion
  • Put a splash slow falling potion in the brewing stand.

* Add dragon’s breath on top to create a lingering slow falling potion that leaves a cloud on the ground.

Tips, usage, and “latest” context

• Best uses right now:
  • Raiding end cities and fighting the Ender Dragon where there’s a lot of void and huge drops.

* Tall mountain bases or big cave drops in modern 1.20+ worlds where terrain height is extreme.

• Effect details:
  • You fall slowly, take no fall damage, and do not trample farmland while affected.

* Boss mobs generally cannot receive the effect, and ender pearl damage still applies even with slow falling.
