minecraft brewing stand blaze powder how many potions
The brewing stand fuel runs out sooner than it seems when production is large, and more stands change the fuel math. Here is the rule and the arithmetic of two real scenarios.
6 operations, 14 charges left.
One powder per stand.
88 operations, 12 charges left.
Batches split into 6, 6, 5 and 5.
1 as fuel and 1 as ingredient.
Each rod makes 2 powders.
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.
It depends on the steps. One powder gives 20 operations, and each operation processes up to 3 bottles. On a 4-step recipe, 20 operations are 5 batches, or 15 potions.
No. An operation uses 1 charge with 1, 2 or 3 bottles. That is why it pays to always fill all 3 slots of the stand.
No. Fuel is only consumed when there are bottles and an ingredient to brew. An idle stand keeps the charges it has.
