Where to Find Potion of Slow Falling in Minecraft

Potion of Slow Falling can turn up across Nether (Phantom Membrane) and Overworld (Phantoms at night), so the search area spans more than one place depending on which method you use. Because this is a Nether-side item, you first need an active Nether portal (a frame of obsidian lit with flint and steel) to reach the dimension where it is found. Phantom Membranes drop from Phantoms, which spawn after 3+ nights without sleeping. Phantoms appear in the Overworld sky at night and swoop down to attack. The main non-crafting route is brewing it at a brewing stand.

The most efficient method is straightforward — brew it using Awkward Potion + Phantom Membrane. Slow Falling prevents fall damage and makes you descend slowly. Critical for End exploration: prevents death from being knocked off End islands into the void. Also used to repair Elytra at an Anvil. For brewing, set up a brewing stand near a steady supply of the base ingredient so you can batch up to three at a time, and use Redstone Dust to extend duration or Glowstone Dust to amplify the effect. Remember that Potion of Slow Falling does not stack, so each one you gather takes a full inventory slot — bring a chest or shulker box if you plan to collect several. Worth noting on the version side: Added in 1.13 (Update Aquatic). Brewed in bulk, Potion of Slow Falling is the kind of consumable you stockpile before a major expedition, since having several on hand can be the difference in a dangerous fight or a long dive.

Players hunting for Potion of Slow Falling often look for Elytra, Potion of Fire Resistance, and Potion of Healing as well, since they share locations, recipes, or a progression path. For full stats and the crafting grid, the dedicated Potion of Slow Falling item page has the complete breakdown.
