So, if you’ve always wondered how to make a potion of invisibility in Minecraft, we have you covered.

Now that you have the required resources, check out the steps below to learn how to brew a potion of invisibility:

• Interact with the brewing stand and place the blaze power in the far left slot to fuel it.
• Add one, two, or three potions of night vision in the potion slots in the center. It’s better to use all three potions to maximize the fermented spider eye potential.
• Place the fermented spider eye in the ingredient slot above the potions. The arrow starts filling up, indicating the process is underway.
• Once the arrow is filled, the night vision potions will turn into invisibility potions.
• If the night vision potions lasted for three minutes, the invisibility potions would also last for three minutes. But if they lasted for eight minutes, the newly-made invisibility potions will also last for eight.

However, you can still add redstone dust to extend the duration of three-minute potions to eight minutes.

Moreover, gunpowder will turn them into splash potions of invisibility, allowing you to inflict other Minecraft mobs and players. Increasing the intensity of invisibility potions with glowstone dust is impossible.

How Does Potion of Invisibility in Minecraft Work?

The Minecraft invisibility potion works just as you expect, by making the affected mob or player completely invisible. However, the particles, worn gear, and held items will always be visible. In addition, the potion of invisibility doesn’t necessarily allow you to dance around hostile mobs without them noticing.

This potion mostly decreases the detection range of mobs, so they can actually still see and attack you if you get too close. The number of armor pieces equipped additionally increases the detection range. So, if you have no armor, you’ll be detected at only 7% of the normal distance. But with full armor, this value jumps up to 70%.

That’s why, if you want to sneak around the mobs with an invisibility effect, it’s best to have no armor equipped.

This will ensure you’re less likely to be noticed, so you can work in peace. Though if you get close to a mob, they’ll instantly see you. If the mob knows you’re there, they will act as if you are completely visible. This is also the case if you attack them. Furthermore, sneaking makes it even harder to spot you, and this pairs perfectly with the invisibility effect.

Lastly, due to the addition of the locator bar in the Minecraft Chase the Skies update, you can use the invisibility potions to hide yourself from the radar. This way, your indicator won’t be visible on the player locator bar, and nobody can find you.

That said, you now know how to make a potion of invisibility. This is especially a fantastic tool if you need to be near mobs to do some building or make a redstone farm. It will let you achieve your goals with no interruptions.
