In Minecraft, one of the most useful and fascinating items you can craft is the invisibility potion. This potion allows you to become completely invisible to other players and mobs for a limited time. It’s perfect for sneaking up on enemies or exploring without being detected. In this guide, I will walk you through the process of making invisibility potions step by step. So grab your brewing stand and let’s get started!
Gathering the Ingredients
Before we dive into the brewing process, we need to gather the necessary ingredients. To make invisibility potions, you will need:
- Nether Wart – This can be found in Nether Fortresses.
- Golden Carrot – Crafted by placing a carrot in the middle of the crafting table surrounded by eight gold nuggets.
- Glowstone Dust – Obtained by breaking Glowstone blocks found in the Nether.
- A Water Bottle – Crafted by filling a glass bottle with water.
- Spider Eye – Dropped by spiders.
- Fermented Spider Eye – Crafted by placing a spider eye in the middle of the crafting table surrounded by brown mushrooms and sugar.
- Redstone Dust – Obtained by breaking Redstone Ore found underground.
- A Blaze Powder – Dropped by Blazes in Nether Fortresses.
Once you have gathered all these ingredients, we can proceed to the brewing process.
The Brewing Process
Step 1: Craft a Brewing Stand – To begin brewing, you will need a brewing stand. This can be crafted by placing three cobblestones in the bottom row and one blaze rod in the center of the crafting table.
Step 2: Place the Brewing Stand – Find a suitable location and place the brewing stand on the ground. Make sure there is at least one block of clear space above it.
Step 3: Add Blaze Powder – Right-click on the brewing stand to open its interface. Place a blaze powder in the top-left slot to power the brewing stand.
Step 4: Add Water Bottles – In the bottom three slots of the brewing stand, place three water bottles. These will serve as the base for our potions.
Step 5: Add Nether Wart – In the top slot of the brewing stand, place a piece of nether wart. This will create an Awkward Potion.
Step 6: Add Golden Carrot – Once the Awkward Potion is brewed, add a golden carrot to the top slot. This will create a Potion of Night Vision.
Step 7: Add Fermented Spider Eye – Now it’s time to add the fermented spider eye. Place one in the top slot of the brewing stand. This will transform the Potion of Night Vision into a Potion of Invisibility.
Step 8: Add Glowstone Dust – If you want to extend the duration of the invisibility effect, you can add glowstone dust to the top slot. This will create a Potion of Invisibility II.
Step 9: Add Redstone Dust – Alternatively, if you want to extend the duration of the Potion of Invisibility, you can add redstone dust to the top slot. This will create a Potion of Invisibility (Extended).
Step 10: Collect Your Potions – Once the brewing process is complete, you can collect your invisibility potions from the bottom slots of the brewing stand.
Conclusion
Making invisibility potions in Minecraft can be a challenging but rewarding process. With the ability to turn invisible, you can sneak up on unsuspecting enemies, explore dangerous areas without being detected, or simply have fun pranking your friends. Just remember to be careful not to bump into them while invisible!
So, grab your brewing stand and start experimenting with different potions. Who knows what other magical concoctions you might discover?
