If you want to explore caves, oceans, and dark areas in Minecraft without visibility issues, a Night Vision Potion is essential and something you should not play without. It allows you to see clearly both in darkness and underwater, making your gameplay much easier and safer.
In this guide, you will learn how to make a Night Vision Potion and what ingredients you need.
Items Required to Brew a Night Vision Potion
To brew a Night Vision Potion, you will need the following items.
Brewing Stand
The Brewing Stand is the essential tool for brewing potions in Minecraft. You can craft it using one Blaze Rod and three blocks of Cobblestone, or find it in villages, most commonly inside a cleric’s house. Once placed on the ground, it gives you access to the brewing interface where you can add bottles and ingredients.
Blaze Powder
Blaze Powder works as fuel for the Brewing Stand, and without it the entire brewing process will not start. You can obtain it by crafting Blaze Rods, which drop from Blazes in the Nether. One Blaze Rod gives you two Blaze Powder.
Water Bottles
Water Bottles are the base for every potion in Minecraft. To get them, you need Glass Bottles, which can be filled by right-clicking on any water source. You can place up to three Water Bottles in the Brewing Stand at once.
Nether Wart
Nether Wart is another key ingredient required to create an Awkward Potion, which serves as the base for most potions. You can find Nether Wart in Nether Fortresses and Bastion Remnants. Once you have it, you can grow it on Soul Sand, making future brewing much easier.
Golden Carrot
Golden Carrot is the main ingredient used to turn an Awkward Potion into a Night Vision Potion. You can craft it by combining one Carrot with eight Gold Nuggets.
How to Brew Night Vision Potion in Minecraft
Follow these steps to brew a Night Vision Potion in Minecraft quickly and correctly.
Prepare the Brewing Stand
At the beginning, place the Brewing Stand on the ground and open it by right-clicking. This is the basic tool used to create all potions in Minecraft, so make sure you have all the required ingredients ready before you start brewing.
Add Blaze Powder to Fuel the Stand
Next, place Blaze Powder in the fuel slot on the left side of the interface. This is essential fuel, without it the Brewing Stand will not work. One piece of Blaze Powder is enough to brew several potions, but it is a good idea to keep some extra.
Place Water Bottles in the Brewing Stand
Then, add Water Bottles to the bottom slots. These are the base for every potion, and without them you cannot start the brewing process.
Add Nether Wart to Make an Awkward Potion
After that, place Nether Wart in the top slot. This is a key ingredient that allows you to create an Awkward Potion. It is the base for most potions in the game, including Night Vision.
Add Golden Carrot to Brew Night Vision Potion
Once that step is complete, place a Golden Carrot in the top slot and wait a few seconds. When the brewing process finishes, you will see green potions in the bottom slots. These are Night Vision Potions that allow you to see clearly in the dark and underwater.
