TABLE 10.5
Negative Effect Potions
Glowstone and redstone cannot be combined through additional brewing cycles; only the
last oneusedtakes effect. However,gunpowderandfermented spidereyedefinitely areof-
ten used together to create a throwable version of a potion that will have negative effects
on the enemy. You can add them after glowstone or redstone dust to enhance the effects of
any throwable positive or negative potion.
Note:
When Positive Becomes Negative
Not all negative potions have deleterious effects on mobs. Throwing a
potion of harming at the undead (zombies and skeletons) helps them
heal. Whoops! Throw potions of healing instead to cause them harm.
This is particularly useful when you're in a tight battle with these par-
ticular mobs because you can just toss a potion of healing at your feet
and improve your health while causing harm to any of those currently in
close combat.
