The finder above filters this same list. Brew the base first (Nether Wart into a Water Bottle makes an Awkward Potion), then add the ingredient shown. Redstone Dust extends duration and Glowstone Dust raises the level where allowed.

? How this works
Every potion starts as a Water Bottle. Most go Water Bottle → Nether Wart (Awkward Potion) →
an effect ingredient (like Magma Cream for Fire Resistance) → optional modifiers. A few shortcuts exist:
Weakness skips the Nether Wart step entirely, and four potions — Invisibility, Slowness, Harming, and (in
Bedrock only) Weakness-from-Strength — only exist by corrupting another potion with a
Fermented Spider Eye, not from a direct ingredient. Redstone Dust extends a potion's
duration, Glowstone Dust upgrades it to Tier II (shortening the duration but raising the effect level),
and a potion can only take one of the two, never both. Gunpowder turns any potion into a
Splash Potion (thrown, affects nearby entities), and Dragon's Breath turns a Splash Potion into a
Lingering Potion (leaves a lasting cloud) — Dragon's Breath only works after Gunpowder has already been applied.
The four 1.21 mob-effect potions (Wind Charging, Oozing, Weaving, Infestation) are fixed at 3:00 and can't take
Redstone or Glowstone at all.
