Make splash potions with gunpowder, then pit them against drinking ones.
Two potions enter the arena. One you drink, one you throw. Only one walks away the champion.

What you’ll build
Brew two batches of the same potion and turn one into splash potions with gunpowder. Time drinking one versus splashing one at your feet, then see how many animals a single splash can reach. Crown a champion for solo, group and emergency use.
Finish line: You've tested sip against splash, counted the crowd round and crowned a champion for each job.
Bonus challenge: Distance round: splash from 1, 3 and 5 blocks away. Does the effect get shorter the farther away it lands?
You’ll need
- Potion ingredients
- Gunpowder
- A brewing stand
- A pen of animals
- A stopwatch
You choose
- The potion in my showdown
- My champion prediction
- Showdown arena (animal pen, tower roof…)
Stuck?
- Check the effect timer in your inventory to measure how long each potion lasts.
- Throw splash potions right at your feet; the further away they land, the weaker the effect.
- Gunpowder comes from creepers, so you may need a night or two of collecting.
