Base Potions

There are two types of base potions: The Awkward Potion and the Mundane Potion. Awkward Potions are made from adding Nether Wart to a Water Bottle and can be used as an ingredient to create every type of potion. Mundane Potions are inferior base potions made from using any other ingredient described in this page and can only be used to create the Potion of Weakness and its direct variants. Base potions by themselves have no effect when drunk.

Soul Flux will double the potency of Primary and Secondary potions, but it will halve the duration of base. Note that this has no effect on Potions of Fire Resistance and Potions of Night Vision, as they cannot be more effective. Soul Flux will cancel out the effect of Witch Warts.

Gunpowder, when applied to any potion, including extended or potent potions, will convert it into a Splash Potion.
