How do I extend a Potion of Slow Falling?

Put a regular Potion of Slow Falling in the bottom brewing slot and redstone dust in the top slot. The redstone extends the duration from 1:30 to 4 minutes.

What's the difference between the regular and extended version?

The extended version (4:00) lasts twice as long as the regular Potion of Slow Falling (1:30). Both give the same Slow Falling effect, so it's just about how long the effect stays active.

Can I turn this into a splash potion?

Yes. Use the extended potion as your ingredient and add gunpowder to the top slot in the brewing stand. This makes a Splash Potion of Slow Falling (4:00) that affects nearby players when thrown.

What Minecraft versions have this potion?

The Potion of Slow Falling was added in Java Edition 1.13. It's available in all versions from 1.13 through 1.20.

Do I need any special mods to brew this potion?

No. This is a vanilla Minecraft feature. No mods are required. Just a brewing stand and the right ingredients.

How to Brew Extended Potion of Slow Falling

In Minecraft, you can brew an extended Potion of Slow Falling that lasts twice as long as the regular version. This guide shows you exactly how to make it and what you need.

What You Need

To brew an extended Potion of Slow Falling, you only need two things:

1 Potion of Slow Falling (regular 1:30 version)
1 Redstone Dust

The redstone dust extends any potion’s duration. When you brew them together, your potion will last 4 minutes instead of the standard 1:30.

Step-by-Step Brewing Instructions

1. Open Your Brewing Stand

Place down a brewing stand and interact with it. The brewing menu will show three ingredient slots at the bottom and one slot at the top.

2. Add Blaze Powder

Put blaze powder in the far left fuel slot. This activates the brewing stand. One blaze powder brews one potion batch, so add more if you’re making multiple.

3. Add Your Potion

Place your Potion of Slow Falling (1:30) in one of the three bottom ingredient slots.

4. Add Redstone Dust

Place redstone dust in the top slot. The brewing process starts automatically.

5. Wait for the Brewing to Finish

The brewing takes about 20 seconds. You’ll hear a “glug glug glug” sound when it’s done. The redstone dust disappears, and your new potion appears in the bottom slot.

What You Get

Your finished potion is now a Potion of Slow Falling (4:00). When drunk, it gives you the Slow Falling effect for 4 minutes. You’ll fall slowly and take no fall damage for the entire duration.

If you want to make a splash potion from this, you can add gunpowder to a brewing stand with your regular potion in the ingredient slots.
