How to Make a Potion of Leaping in Minecraft

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: Brew a potion of Leaping by adding a rabbit's foot to an awkward potion in a brewing stand. It raises your jump height for 3 minutes, extendable to 8 minutes with redstone dust or upped to Leaping II with glowstone dust.

What you need

Brewing stand + blaze powder fuel
Nether wart + water bottles (for awkward potions)
1 rabbit's foot (from rabbits)
Redstone dust or glowstone dust (optional modifiers)

Step by step

Set up a brewing stand and fuel it with blaze powder.
Brew water bottles with nether wart to make awkward potions, the base for almost every potion.
Get a rabbit's foot by killing rabbits, which spawn in deserts, snowy biomes and meadows. It is an uncommon drop, so expect several rabbits.
Place up to 3 awkward potions in the bottom slots of the brewing stand.
Put the rabbit's foot in the ingredient slot on top.
Wait 20 seconds. You now have potions of Leaping that increase jump height for 3 minutes.
Optional: add redstone dust to extend the duration to 8 minutes, or glowstone dust for Leaping II, which jumps even higher for 1 minute 30 seconds.

Java vs Bedrock

Leaping works the same in Java and Bedrock: higher jumps and slightly less fall damage per level. Leaping I lets you clear 1.5-block gaps and Leaping II over 2 blocks, handy for mountain travel and parkour-style builds. Cats also rarely gift rabbit's feet when you wake up, a renewable alternative to hunting.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Leaping potion do?

It increases your jump height: about half a block higher at level I and over a block higher at level II, and it also reduces fall damage while active. Great for mountains and building.

How long does Leaping last?

The base potion lasts 3 minutes. Redstone extends it to 8 minutes, and glowstone upgrades it to Leaping II for 1 minute 30 seconds.

How do you get a rabbit's foot?

Kill rabbits in deserts, snowy biomes, meadows and taigas; the foot is an uncommon drop. Tamed cats also occasionally bring you one as a morning gift after you sleep.
