How to Make a Potion of Invisibility in Minecraft

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: Brew a potion of Invisibility by adding a fermented spider eye to a potion of Night Vision in a brewing stand. It makes you invisible to mobs for 3 minutes, extendable to 8 minutes with redstone dust.

What you need

Brewing stand + blaze powder fuel
Potion of Night Vision (awkward potion + golden carrot)
1 fermented spider eye (spider eye + brown mushroom + sugar)
Redstone dust (optional, longer duration)

Step by step

Set up a brewing stand and fuel it with blaze powder.
Brew a potion of Night Vision first: water bottle + nether wart for an awkward potion, then add a golden carrot.
Craft a fermented spider eye from 1 spider eye, 1 brown mushroom and 1 sugar.
Place up to 3 potions of Night Vision in the bottom slots of the brewing stand.
Put the fermented spider eye in the ingredient slot on top.
Wait 20 seconds. You now have potions of Invisibility that last 3 minutes.
Optional: add redstone dust to extend the duration to 8 minutes, or gunpowder for splash potions to turn mobs invisible.

Java vs Bedrock

Invisibility works the same in Java and Bedrock: mobs do not detect you unless you bump into them or attack them. Armor you wear stays visible, so mobs can still spot a fully armored player more easily; the potion shines with no armor on. It is also the corrupted form of Night Vision, which is why it brews from it.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Invisibility last?

The base potion lasts 3 minutes. Adding redstone dust extends it to 8 minutes. There is no Invisibility II.

Can mobs see you with an Invisibility potion?

Mobs ignore you unless you touch them or attack them. Worn armor and held items remain visible and make you easier to detect, so unequip before sneaking around.

Why does Invisibility brew from Night Vision?

Fermented spider eyes corrupt potions into their opposite effect. Night Vision lets you see in the dark, so its corrupted form makes others unable to see you: Invisibility.
