In this guide, we’ll show you how to make a potion of Fire Resistance in Minecraft, including how to brew both the 3-minute and 8-minute versions and how to make it throwable with splash effects.
Why Use a Potion of Fire Resistance?

In addition, Fire Resistance prevents the affected targets from catching fire? Bedrock Edition only, which stops the fire itself from covering the player’s screen.
