Of course, if you're clumsy like I am, the honest truth is that the Potion of Fire Resistance is the best. If you're gearing up for a big fight, the Potion of Strength can be a huge boon, really powering up every swing of your weapon and helping you take down tough enemies before they can kill you. You can even make the splash version to help out your friends in a pinch. Personally, I think the Potion of Regeneration is the most universally useful, since it heals you so much and keeps working while you fight-or run from-whatever damaged you. Whether you need a quick boost in a scrap, or if you're just trying to recover after it's over, lots of potions can help you come out on top.

On their own these potions are useless, but they're also the main component of most potions, and you can't use Water Bottles for the following steps.

Once you've got some to start, you can create your own farm anywhere-including the Overworld-by laying down some Soul Sand and planting the Nether Wart in it to grow.

These must be arranged in a V shape, though it doesn't matter if the bottom piece is in the bottom row or the middle. To make Water Bottles, first craft Glass Bottles by combining three blocks of Glass on a crafting table.
