How to Make an Auto Brewer
An auto brewer wraps a brewing stand in hoppers so water bottles, ingredients and fuel feed in and finished potions pull out on their own.

Hoppers to feed and pullYour potion ingredientsThree hoppers, three jobs
A brewing stand reads hoppers by direction. The top hopper loads the ingredient and blaze powder, the side hopper loads the three water bottles, and the bottom hopper pulls each potion out, but only once its brew is finished. Keep all three supplied and the stand brews batch after batch with no clicking.
Quick answers
What is an auto brewer in Minecraft?
It is a brewing stand wrapped in hoppers so it brews potions without you standing there clicking. Water bottles, the ingredient and the fuel are all fed in automatically, and the finished potions are pulled out the bottom, so you get a steady supply.
How does automatic brewing work?
The brewing stand has directional hopper slots. A hopper into the top loads the ingredient and fuel, a hopper into the side loads the three water bottles, and a hopper underneath pulls the bottles back out. Keep all three supplied and it brews batch after batch.
How do you feed a brewing stand with hoppers?
Point one hopper down into the top for the ingredient and blaze powder, run another into the side for the bottles, and put a third under the stand to collect. Each direction fills a different set of slots, which is what makes the whole thing automatic.
How do you only collect finished potions?
A hopper under a brewing stand will not pull a bottle until its brew is complete, so it naturally waits. For tighter control, read the stand with a comparator and only open the output once the brew progress shows done.
What can you auto brew?
Any potion, as long as you feed the right ingredient. Healing, regeneration, strength and speed are easy bulk brews; add a second stage with glowstone, redstone or gunpowder if you want stronger, longer or splash versions on the line.
Does an auto brewer work on Bedrock?
Yes. Brewing stands take hopper input and output the same way on both editions, though Bedrock timing and some slot behaviour differ slightly, so a Java layout may need a small tweak on Bedrock.
