How to Cure Poison in Minecraft

It pays to have some cows nearby.

You’ll encounter several types of threats in Minecraft, from exploding Creepers and lava to zombies and even lightning. Additionally your character may get poisoned should he or she eat poisonous food, drink a bad potion or get bitten by a Cave Spider.  The poison hurts you over time and armor will not reduce damage.

This ultimately begs the question, how do you cure poison in Minecraft? Simple, drink some milk.  Although milk won’t solve hunger, it eliminates poison each time you ingest some. For this reason, you should always carry a bucket of milk while exploring. 

You get milk from cows, but first you need that bucket. To craft one, find three Iron Ingots and when viewing the crafting grid, place one in the middle square on the bottom, then two (one on the left, the other on the right) directly above it. In addition to gathering milk, you also need buckets for farming.

If you don’t know how to make Iron Ingots, use your Pickaxe to gather Iron Ore and then put the Ore into your Furnace to create the Ingots. 

Now you know how to cure poison in Minecraft. Make sure you breed cows to have a big supply! 

Now we’ll tell you how to make an Ender Chest.
