‘Minecraft’ How-Tos: Making The Invisibility Potion

Perhaps you have already been asked about a superpower you wish to have. A popular answer would be invisibility. After all, being invisible is one of the coolest things around. 

In “Minecraft,” you have the power to turn invisible when you have the Invisibility Potion with you. So, in this guide, you will learn how to make the Invisibility Potion in “Minecraft.” But, first things first, what is this potion all about?

What Is The Potion Of Invisibility In ‘Minecraft’?

The Invisibility Potion in this game is one of its most potent potions. It’s not only in “Harry Potter” where you can get potions, right? “Minecraft’s” Invisibility Potion, obviously, can make a player model disappear.

However, it also has its weaknesses. Mobs can still detect and attack the player model at a very close distance. This range even increases if the player is donning an armor. You will learn more about this later.

What Can The Invisibility Potion Do?

Drinking this potion can make you unseeable to your enemies, but only for a short amount of time. Here is how you can use the Invisibility Potion, depending on your platform.

• If you are playing “Minecraft” on your PC, right-click and hold.
• If you are on mobile, tap and hold. 
• For Xbox players, press and hold LT.
• For PlayStation players, press and hold L2.
• Press and hold ZL on your Nintendo

Ingredients

Just like making any recipe, you need to collect the right ingredients. Here are the things you need to brew the Potion of Invisibility in “Minecraft.:

• A Crafting Table (craft this with four Wooden Planks)
• A Brewing Stand (craft this with a Blaze Rod and three Cobblestones)
• 1 Blaze Powder (craft this with a Blaze Rod)
• 1 Potion of Night Vision
• 1 Fermented Spider Eye

If you wish to craft variations of the potion, note that you will need Redstone, Dragon’s Breath, and Gun Powder.

Directions

Once you have the ingredients, simply follow these steps to make your Potion of Invisibility in “Minecraft.”

1. First, make your Blaze Powder using one Blaze Rod.
2. Second, make the Crafting Table using four Wood Planks. Any plank under this category, such as Crimson Planks, Warped Planks, and the like, will work. 
3. Third, add the Crafting Table to the hot bar before placing it on the ground. 
4. Fourth, interact with it to open the three-by-three crafting grid.
5. It’s now time to craft your Brewing Stand. To do this, use one Blaze Rod in the middle of the top row, followed by three Cobblestones in the second row.
6. Then, put the Brewing Stand on the ground.
7. Interact with it to launch the brewing menu.
8. Afterward, place the Blaze Powder in the upper-left box. This then activates your Brewing Stand.
9. Add a Potion of Night Vision to one of the boxes in the bottom portion of the brewing menu.
10. Afterwards, add the Fermented Spider Eye to the brewing menu’s top box.
11. Wait until the progress bar is full. Once it is, your Potion of Night Vision will now be an Invisibility Potion. You’re done. 

Important Things To Note About The Potion Of Invisibility

You have learned earlier that although the Potion of Invisibility is powerful, it has its limitations.

The items below will still be visible even if you have consumed the potion. 

• All armors, including horse armors
• All held items
• All arrows currently stuck within your character model (though this only applies to Java Edition)
• A shulker’s head
• A llama’s carpet decoration
• A saddle on a tamed animal
• All mobs or players on fire or emitting any variant of particle effect
• Some eyes from mobs such as Creepers, Endermen, Phantoms, and Spiders (they will remain seen even if the mob itself is invisible)

More Information About The Invisibility Potion And Its Effects

• The traditional Invisibility Potion only works for five minutes. Extended carry lasts 10 minutes.
• Remember, you will become invisible after taking the potion, but mobs can still detect you.
