How to Make Potion of Slow Falling in Minecraft
In Minecraft,avoiding fall damageis crucial, especially in the early game. But it is also quite a big problem while fighting the Ender Dragon, thanks to it being able to launch you high in the air. You could perfect your MLG water bucket skills, or just consume a potion of slow falling. The latter will make you fall slowly so you don’t take any unnecessary damage. To help you, we will teach you how to make a potion of slow falling in Minecraft and why it’s important.
Items Required for the Potion of Slow Falling
To make a slow falling potion, you will need regular brewing ingredients, as well as one special item. Those are:
Brewing standis a block necessary for brewing all the potions in the game. You can find it in villages or craft it with cobblestone and a blaze rod. Blaze powder is an item you can make using blaze rods. Nether wart will naturally generate insideNether fortresses. You may craftempty bottleswithglass blocksand then fill them with water by right-clicking.
On the other hand, phantom membrane is the unique item you’ll need for this brewing recipe. It’s a drop from the phantommob inMinecraft. They are special flying mobs that spawn during the night when the player hasn’t slept for three days. They will usually spawn in packs of 2-4 but only if you don’t have any blocks directly above you. Phantoms will drop 0-1 phantom membrane upon death, but looting enchantment can increase this number to 4 membranes.
Redstone dustand gunpowder are optional. Redstone dust is used to extend the potion’s duration and gunpowder is used to make the regular drinking potion into a splash potion. Dragon’s breath is a glass bottle filled with Ender Dragon’s purple cloud “breath”. You can obtain it by right-clicking with a glass bottle on one of these clouds the Dragon makes. This item will turn the splash potion into a lingering potion.

How to Make a Potion of Slow Falling (4:00)
You can then take them out and use them, or place the Redstone dust in the topmost slot to have the potions last for 4 minutes instead of 90 seconds (1 minute 30 seconds). This is known as the Potion of Slow Falling (4:00), which can be very useful.
Make Splash & Lingering Potion of Slow Falling
Adding a piece of gunpowder in the upper slot will thenturn this potion into a splash potionin case you need it. Though make sure to throw the splash potion above you toward the sky instead of splashing the ground. This will allow you to utilize all 4 minutes of the splash potion and not lose 30 seconds.
You can further modify the splash potion byadding the dragon’s breathin the upper slot. This is going to turn the bottles into lingering potion of Slow Falling, which will last for 1 minute.
Why Is the Potion of Slow Falling Useful?
In case you don’t know, the potion of slow falling makes you fall slowly. This way you won’t take any fall damage, no matter what height you fell from. Slow falling potion is not as frequently used as let’s say afire resistance potionin Minecraft.
But, it will help you out a lot in certain situations. One of them is the fight against the Ender Dragon tobeat Minecraft. This boss will occasionally try to catapult you in the air. If you don’t have potions of slow falling and if your water bucket skill are not good, you may very well die from fall damage.
In fact, on a very rare occasion, you may start to fall towards the void. If you do end up there, all of your equipment and items will get destroyed. Slow falling potion will ensure you have just enough time to react in this situation and save yourself from death.
Apart from the Ender Dragon fight itself, exploring the End is also much safer with the potion of slow falling, simply because of the void all around. So, if you’re going to the End and have never beaten Minecraft before, we strongly recommend you make these useful potions.
And we’ve reached the end of this guide. Congrats! Now you know how to make a potion of slow falling in Minecraft. With this knowledge, you’re ready to tackle tall builds, biomes, and the end-game boss. So, waste no more time and start brewing!
Sadly, there is no potion of slow falling that lasts for 8 minutes. The longest it can last is four minutes that you can make by adding redstone dust. Most potions can last for 8 minutes, but this is not the case with the slow falling potion.
No, you cannot add glowstone dust to create a slow falling II potion. Only the base slow falling potion exists in the vanilla game.
