A Furious Cocktail: How to Get All Potion Effects Simultaneously

A Furious Cocktail requires you to have every potion effect applied to your character at the same time. This is the potion-only sibling of How Did We Get Here and it is significantly easier because you only need brewable effects, not mob-inflicted ones. With proper preparation and quick hands, you can earn this advancement in a single attempt.

Required potion effects

You need all of the following effects simultaneously:

• Speed
• Slowness
• Strength
• Jump Boost
• Regeneration
• Fire Resistance
• Water Breathing
• Invisibility
• Night Vision
• Weakness
• Poison
• Slow Falling
• Resistance (requires beacon, not brewable in Java Edition)

Brewing preparation

Brew extended-duration splash potions for every effect. Splash potions apply faster than drinking because you skip the drink animation. Here is what you need to brew:

• Awkward Potion base: Nether Wart + Water Bottle for most potions.
• Speed: Awkward + Sugar, then Redstone for extended duration.
• Slowness: Speed Potion + Fermented Spider Eye.
• Strength: Awkward + Blaze Powder, then Redstone.
• Jump Boost: Awkward + Rabbit's Foot, then Redstone.
• Regeneration: Awkward + Ghast Tear, then Redstone.
• Fire Resistance: Awkward + Magma Cream, then Redstone.
• Water Breathing: Awkward + Pufferfish, then Redstone.
• Invisibility: Night Vision + Fermented Spider Eye.
• Night Vision: Awkward + Golden Carrot, then Redstone.
• Weakness: Water Bottle + Fermented Spider Eye (no Awkward base needed).
• Poison: Awkward + Spider Eye, then Redstone.
• Slow Falling: Awkward + Phantom Membrane, then Redstone.

Convert all of these to splash potions by adding Gunpowder in the brewing stand.

Resistance from a beacon

Resistance cannot be brewed in Java Edition. You need a beacon set to Resistance II. This requires:

• A beacon block (crafted from 3 obsidian, 5 glass, 1 Nether Star from the Wither).
• A full pyramid of mineral blocks (iron, gold, diamond, emerald or netherite). A 4-layer pyramid requires 164 blocks of ore material.
• Set the beacon to Resistance and stand within range.

Application order

Apply long-lasting effects first, short ones last:

1. Stand within beacon range for Resistance.
2. Throw extended splash potions in this order: Night Vision, Fire Resistance, Water Breathing, Invisibility, Speed, Strength, Jump Boost, Regeneration, Slow Falling.
3. Throw the negative effect potions: Slowness, Weakness, Poison.

With extended splash potions, even the shortest ones last 1:30 or more, giving you plenty of margin. Line up all the splash potions in your hotbar and throw them at your feet in rapid succession.

Tips and tricks

• Use your hotbar efficiently. You have 9 hotbar slots. Place the first 9 potions there, throw them all, then swap to the remaining potions from your inventory.
• Throw at a wall, not the ground. Splash potions thrown at a wall next to you apply the effect more reliably than ones thrown straight down.
• Armor up. Poison and other negative effects will drain your health. Wear Protection IV armor and have food ready.
• Build the beacon near your brewing station. You want to minimise travel time between brewing and the attempt.

Common mistakes

• Forgetting Resistance. This is the most commonly missed effect because it requires a beacon, not a potion.
• Using non-extended potions. The base-duration potions last only 20-45 seconds. Extended versions give you breathing room.
• Drinking instead of splashing. Drinking animations take 1.6 seconds each. With 13 potions, that is over 20 seconds of drinking. Splash potions are instant.
• Applying Slowness too early. Slowness slows your item-use speed slightly and makes repositioning harder. Apply it near the end.
