How to Make Invisibility Potion in Minecraft

Invisibility potions in Survival Minecraft are used to prevent hostile mobs from targeting you further away. However, it can make for fun interaction with others on multiplayer. It can be startling finding a player you did not know was there right behind you, imagine if they were invisible! Invisibility potions are a relatively complicated process for the reward, but it can lead to some great fun in multiplayer maps.


Required Ingredients to make Invisibility Potion in Minecraft

To make an invisibility potion in Minecraft, you will need:


  1. Blaze Powder
  2. Water Bottles
  3. Nether wart
  4. Golden Carrot (For night vision potion)
  5. Fermented Spider Eye


The most difficult part of brewing potions is to find a nether fortress in the game. The fortress will house blaze and the nether wart necessary to make night vision potions. You will need to defeat some blaze enemies in order to get blaze rods, a material used for crafting the brewing stand as well as fueling it.


You will need water bottles to hold the potion’s effect. Glass bottles are made from glass, so dig up some sand and smelt it into the three glass pieces you need.


Nether wart is necessary to create the base for night vision potions: the awkward potion. The nether wart can also be grown in the overworld as long as you have soul sand. Make sure to plant some so you have extra for future potions.


The golden carrot is used to turn awkward potions into night vision potions. You will need one carrot and eight gold nuggets.


Fermented spider eye is used to turn night vision potions into invisibility potions. For this potion, you will need to craft two different potion effects before you can make invisibility potions.

In a Nutshell:

To make a Potion of Invisibility in Minecraft (3:00), you will need 1 Potion of Night Vision (3:00) and 1 fermented spider eye. Place the Potion of Night Vision (3:00) in one of the bottom boxes in the Brewing Stand menu. Then add the fermented spider eye to the top box. After a few seconds, the Potion of Night Vision will turn into a Potion of Invisibility (3:00).


Step-by-Step Guide(with Pictures):


Here is the step-by-step pictorial guide you need to follow to Make Invisibility Potion in Minecraft:


To make invisibility potions in Minecraft, you need to first make night vision potions. Let’s start by getting the primary ingredient for night vision potions, the golden carrot. To make a golden carrot you will need to harvest some carrots. They can be found in villages, dropped rarely by zombies, or found in shipwreck or pillager tower chests.


Step-1 Locate a village farm, villages can almost guarantee you find carrots. Every village farm has a 1/5 chance to generate carrots in their farm plots. You can distinguish carrots from the other crops by their orange base and green leafy tops.

Step-2 Next you will need to find a gold ingot to create a golden carrot. Gold ore can be found anywhere below “Y” level 31. You can also find it in badland biomes near the surface. The ore is notable by its yellow flecks and you will need at least an iron pickaxe to mine it.

Step-3 Smelt your gold ore into ingots. Place your gold into a furnace and wait for it to smelt into ingots. To learn how to make a furnace refer to this guide. Link

Now you just need a brewing stand. You can make one with the drops from blaze enemies and three pieces of cobblestone.

Step-13 Next you will need to locate a nether fortress. These fortresses can be extremely rare, if you are fortunate your portal may generate right on top of one.

Step-15 Simply defeat enough blaze until you have a decent supply of blaze rods. You will need at least one blaze rod to make the brewing stand and any extra can become fuel for the brewing stand itself. So make sure to find extra blaze rods.


Run throughout your fortress until you come across a staircase with some soul sand and some red fungus growing. This is the nether wart you will need to brew your night vision potion.

FAQs about Invisibility potion


Q. What do Invisibility potions do in Minecraft?


They make you invisible of course! The effect does not extend to your armor. Likewise, it does not make whatever you are holding in your hand invisible either. If you would like you can turn the potion of invisibility into splash potions. This can be used to make mobs disappear. They will still technically be there but you can surprise someone with an invisible hostile mob or make their horse vanish from their stable.


All pranks aside, they do prevent mobs from aggroing onto you from further away. They can still aggro to you if you get close enough but if you want to get away from a swarm of hostile mobs a potion of invisibility can make your life easier.


Q. Can Enderman see you with Potion of Invisibility in Minecraft?


Unfortunately, the potion of invisibility does not prevent enderman from attacking you. Keep your line of sight away from the tall screechy mobs.


Conclusion


Congratulations! Disappearing right before another person’s eyes can be a fun interaction. Brewing potions can involve a lot of work, but the payoff can be massive. Invisibility potions have a relative niche payoff, but in multiplayer servers, the effect can lead to some hilarious encounters. It is also interesting seeing some floating armor running around.
