#1. Fire Resistance Potion

The potion of Fire Resistance is essential when exploring Nether and a biome filled with fire and lava, or when you counter a fire-attacking monster. It helps reduce the damage from lava and flame.

Your character will be stronger to defeat mobs and bosses for survival in Minecraft. The potion will buff your output damage by 1.5 to 3 times, based on the level of the potion.

#6. Regeneration Potion

You need ghast's tear, one of the rarest materials in Minecraft, to make the potion of regeneration. But this essential potion is worth this hard-to-obtain ingredient because it helps regenerate 9 - 18 hearts on your health bar. Therefore, you should try to craft a high-level regeneration potion to  restore more health points for your character.

If you do not have enough Ghast Tear for the potion of Regeneration, you can use Glistering Melon to brew a healing potion for restoring 2 - 4 hearts. This potion is also more essential and helpful than food during combat. Bring some bottles of healing potion with you in long and dangerous expeditions.
