how to make tipped arrows minecraft
Every tipped arrow comes from a lingering potion, and that is where most people get stuck: they lack dragon's breath. This page shows the recipe, the real effect duration and the math on how many potions to brew.
The potion sits in the middle of the grid.
Steps: wart, ghast tear, gunpowder, dragon's breath.
3,600 divided by 8.
900 divided by 8 gives 112.5; the game rounds down.
9,600 divided by 8.
The tool limit is 64 per command.
Each step takes 20 seconds (400 ticks) and the stand processes up to 3 bottles per step. An extended splash Speed has 4 steps (wart, sugar, redstone, gunpowder), or 80 seconds per batch. Nine bottles on one stand are 3 batches, 4 minutes; with 3 stands the 3 batches run together and take 80 seconds.
To make the lingering potion, yes, because it needs dragon's breath. If you do not have it, you can use arrows found as loot, from fletcher villagers or, in Bedrock, the cauldron method with an existing potion.
One eighth of the drinkable potion duration, rounded down. For plain Speed that is 22.5 seconds, for extended Fire Resistance 1:00.
No. A bow with Infinity still consumes the tipped arrow, and that is why they can be picked up after being shot, unlike plain arrows shot that way.
Sixty-four arrows need 8 lingering potions, or 3 batches of up to 3 bottles. On one stand, a 4-step potion takes 3 times 80 seconds, 4 minutes; with 3 stands, 80 seconds.
