Potion Of Night Vision

A Potion of Night Vision in Minecraft is a brewable item that gives players the Night Vision status effect when consumed. This effect allows you to see better in the dark, increasing the brightness level of your surroundings to 15. Essentially this makes everything appear to be at max light level. This works anywhere including underground and underwater locations.

If you want to explore caves or be able to see better at night, using a Potion of Night Vision is a great option. However, light sources like torches are far easier to make than any potion, so players are likely to use these in most situations.

On the other hand, if you don’t want to bring too many light sources or clutter your surroundings with them, the potion may be what you’re looking for. Mobs also don’t spawn naturally in well-lit places or blocks with light levels above 7. Thus, players may choose Night Vision over light sources so they can still farm mobs in certain areas.

In the end, using the potion comes down to personal preference and what players consider the more convenient option for them.

One more thing to note is that Night Vision does not affect mobs. It was made only to affect the players’ visibility. If hostile mobs somehow pass through a cloud of Night Vision, rest assured this won’t give them the ability to detect you faster. Most mobs don’t even need the enhancement to find their way to you, so we recommend using this potion and its variants only on yourself or other players.

To brew a Potion of Night Vision, gather the required ingredients and follow the recipe below:

1 Water Bottle

1 Nether Wart

1 Golden Carrot

Brewing Stand

Blaze Powder

To make a Water Bottle, craft a Glass Bottle by putting 3 Glass Blocks in a Crafting Table. Then, look for a water source and interact with it.

You can use up to 3 Water Bottles to make 3 potions, but this recipe only needs 1.

Golden Carrot is the base ingredient for the Potion of Night Vision. You can get one through crafting, looting chests, or trading with farmer villagers. To craft it, put 8 Gold Nuggets and 1 Carrot in a Crafting Table.

Next, you need Nether Wart and Blaze Rods. Both can be found in Nether Fortresses. Nether Warts are typically found growing on Soul Sand while Blaze Rods can be obtained by defeating Blazes.

Once you get some Blaze Rods, turn them into Blaze Powder using a Crafting Table to serve as fuel for the Brewing Stand.

With all the ingredients gathered, put the Blaze Powder, Water Bottle, and Nether Wart in the Brewing Stand.

It will take some time to finish brewing, but once it’s done, you’ll get an Awkward Potion.

Keep the Awkward Potion in the potion slot and put the Golden Carrot in the base ingredient slot.
