About

The Awkward Potion is a brewing ingredient, not a consumable. It serves as the foundation for nearly all potions with status effects, Strength, Speed, Resistance, Fire Resistance, Poison, Weakness, and Slowness all begin as awkward potions before a secondary ingredient is added.

Brew it by combining Nether Wart with a Water Bottle in a brewing stand. Since potions do not stack, each one occupies its own inventory slot. Use the give command above to hand out awkward potions to players during testing or events.
