About the Regeneration Effect
Regeneration restores health over time, healing half a heart every couple of seconds at level I and scaling up per level.
How to Get Regeneration in Survival
Brew a Potion of Regeneration from an awkward potion and a ghast tear, upgraded to level II with glowstone. Golden apples grant a short burst, beacons offer it as a secondary effect, axolotls gift it after you help them fight, and suspicious stew can carry it too.
Using Regeneration Well
Regeneration I over 45 seconds heals 11 hearts total, making it the efficient choice between fights, while Regeneration II is the in-fight emergency option. It does not stack with itself, so reapplying early wastes the potion.
