Medicine

This page describes an education-related feature.

This feature is available only in Minecraft Education or when enabling the "Education" option in Bedrock Edition.

This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education.

A medicine is a type of potion that cures the specified effect instead of applying it.

Obtaining[]

Brewing[]

Cures are brewed from awkward potions using different elements.‌^{[Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education only]} These drinks remove the specified effect when drank, and cannot be modified into splash, lingering, extended or enhanced versions.

Potion	Effect	Notes
Antidote	Cures Poison	Silver detects poison in folklore, and possesses anti-microbial properties.
Elixir	Cures Weakness
Eye Drops	Cures Blindness
Tonic	Cures Nausea	In real life, bismuth subsalicylate is used as a nausea treatment.

Usage[]

Each type of medicine has an associated effect that it can cure (see § Brewing for details). Players can drink the medicine only if they have the corresponding effect. Drinking the medicine eliminates the effect. Although medicine does not resemble potions, the player still gets the glass bottle back.
