How To Brew a Potion of Invisibility in Minecraft

A perfect tool to sneaking up on your enemies? A potion of invisibility! This potion renders the player invisible. However, make sure to take off all your armor and have nothing in your hands for maximum sneakiness.
Here’s an easy guide to brewing a potion of invisibility in Minecraft!

In order to begin brewing, use 3 glass blocks in a crafting table to make 3 glass bottles!

Take your freshly made glass bottles, go up to a water source and right click. You’ve now created a water bottle.

This is the most tedious part of brewing. In order to begin the actual brewing process, you’ll need to collect blaze powder to fuel a brewing stand. You can craft a blaze powder from blaze rods, which are dropped by (you guessed it) blazes!

Simply put the blaze rod anywhere on the crafting table to create 2 blaze powders.

Basic potions require a potion modifier. In this case, we need to gather nether wart. So while you’re looking for blazes, be sure to also grab some soul sand and nether wart from the nether fortress!

The base potion for every standard potion is an awkward potion. Place 3 water bottles, blaze powder, and nether wart into the brewing stand’s GUI as shown above.

After brewing is complete, you’ve created a standard potion of night vision. Now you can move on to creating a potion of invisibility.

This potion requires an easy to gather effect ingredient: fermented spider eye! Follow the crafting recipe shown below. Leaving everything how it was from the last step, simply place the fermented spider eye in the top empty space.

After brewing is complete, you’ve created a standard potion of invisibility. This potion renders the player invisible, though equipped items are still visible.

You can also extend a potion of invisibility by placing a redstone dust in the base ingredient slot. Extending a potion means that the effect will last longer.
The potion will now last for 8 minutes!

Minecraft will automatically set itself to the current version for ease of use, but sometimes you need to revert, especially if your favorite map was created with an earlier version.
