Vadim "Vadim" Dybinskiy If you are exploring the underground depths or embarking on a journey into the Nether, a elixir of fire resistance will be very useful. With this concoction, a player can swim in lava as if it were water, because the heat won't cause any damage.
In this article, we will explain how to make a fire resistance potion in Minecraft. Additionally, readers should pay attention to the explosive and enhanced versions of the concoction, so we will also cover how to create those.
But before that, you can check out our complete guide to all the potions in the game.
Crafting your own fire resistance potion â recipe

First, the player needs to gather the necessary ingredients and create a Brewing Stand. For this, they need to venture into the Nether, so it's important to prepare for a dangerous adventure. Start by obtaining obsidian to build a portal. Youâll need at least 10 blocks for a minimalistic version without filled corners. To create obsidian, the character must pour water over lava. This can be mined with a diamond pickaxe.
To activate the entrance to the other world, the player needs a flint and steel or something else to ignite the obsidian. Now, once you're in the Nether, you can start gathering the components described below.

Whatever elixir you want to make, a Brewing Stand is essential for the task. Everything related to alchemy is done with this. The recipe includes three cobblestones and one blaze rod, which is obtained from blazes found in Nether fortresses. Blazes are some of the strongest mobs in the game, so it's crucial to prepare well for the battle.
To brew a fire resistance potion, youâll need several components. Let's go over each of them in detail.
đč Nether wart is a primary ingredient for most elixirs. Players can find and cultivate it in the Nether or in the overworld. When you find warts, collect them along with some soul sand blocks, which they grow on. These blocks will be needed to create your own farm. Unlike other plants, warts donât require light or water to grow. Additionally, their growth cannot be accelerated with bone meal.

đč Magma cream is the key ingredient for the potion we want to create. This resource is obtained from magma cubes, which reside in the Nether.
As it turns out, to create fire protection, youâll have to overcome almost all the challenges where that protection would be useful.

Begin by filling three bottles with water. These bottles are crafted from glass, which is created by smelting sand in a furnace. Once your bottles are filled, place them into the brewing stand, ensuring they occupy the lower slots. To start the brewing process, add a nether wart to the top slot. As the brewing completes, you'll notice that your water has transformed into three awkward potions, the essential base for many advanced concoctions.
Next, to imbue these awkward potions with the power of fire resistance, add magma cream to the top slot of the brewing stand. Allow the brewing process to run its course, and once finished, youâll be rewarded with three potions of fire resistance, ready to protect you from the fiery dangers ahead.
How to increase duration?

A standard fire resistance potion lasts for three minutes, but players can easily extend the duration to eight minutes, which can be critically important during long expeditions.
To increase the duration of the heat resistance effect, youâll need a brewing stand and a ready-made magic water. Create a standard version if you don't have one yet. To upgrade it, you'll need redstone dust. This material is obtained from redstone ore blocks found in the lower levels underground.

Place the magic water in one of the bottom slots of the brewing stand, then add redstone dust to the top slot. The brewing process will begin. Once the process is complete, the effect duration will increase from three to eight minutes. If you fall into lava, this could save your life.
How to make a splash potion of fire resistance?

A splash potion of fire resistance is a version of the elixir that can be thrown to instantly apply the effect to yourself or other players and creatures within the splash radius. This can be especially useful in team games or when you need to react quickly to dangerous situations.
To start, youâll need a potion of fire resistance, whether itâs a standard or extended duration version.

To turn a potion of fire resistance into a splash version, youâll need gunpowder. Gunpowder can be obtained by killing a creeper or found in chests in certain structures, such as mineshafts.
Place the concoction in one of the bottom slots of the brewing stand, and add gunpowder to the top slot. The brewing process will begin. Once itâs complete, you can take the resulting splash variant.
Knowing how to extend the duration of concoctions and turn them into splash versions greatly expands your options. For example, an entire team of players can save resources by using just one explosive magic water for their fire protection. Given how expensive it is to make these, saving resources is crucial.

In the later stages of the game, you can create Netherite armor, which allows you to ignore fire damage. With such protection, fire resistance potions may not be necessary, but other magical elixirs, such as those for healing or dealing damage to enemies, will still be useful.
Alchemy is a fascinating process that can greatly enhance a playerâs chances of survival and success in the game. The potion of fire resistance, along with other concoctions, provides unique opportunities for protection and strengthening your character. By mastering the basics of alchemy and combining ingredients correctly, you will create powerful elixirs that will help you overcome any challenges.
