Materials needed

Before we dive into making the potion of night vision, it’s important to gather all the necessary materials. Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Nether wart
2. Golden carrot
3. Awkward potion
4. Glowstone dust or Redstone dust

Section 2: Finding Nether Warts

Finding Nether Warts

Nether warts can be found in a Nether fortress, near the bottom level of the fortress. Nether fortresses are dark, dangerous places, and it’s essential to bring a bed, torches, and tools to defend yourself.

Once you’ve found the Nether fortress, locate the Nether wart room. It will have a stairway leading down to it. Collect a handful of Nether warts, and then safely exit the fortress.

Section 3: Finding Golden Carrots

Finding Golden Carrots

In Minecraft, Golden Carrots are a rare item that can be eaten or used to brew potions of Night Vision. They can be obtained by crafting them with a carrot and nine gold nuggets or by finding them in chests.

If you’re looking to craft them, you’ll need a lot of gold nuggets. You can find gold ore deep underground or trade with villagers who accept gold for emeralds. Once you have enough gold nuggets, craft them into Golden Carrots.

If you’re looking to find them, start by exploring villages. Golden Carrots can be found in village chests, but they can also be found in abandoned mineshafts, bastion remnants, and fortress chests.

To make a potion of night vision, you’ll need to start with an awkward potion. Awkward potions, like other potions, are brewed in a brewing stand. To brew an awkward potion, you’ll need to gather Nether wart and place it in the top slot of the brewing stand. Next, you’ll want to add water bottles to the bottom three slots.

Choose the dust according to your preference, and add it at the top slot of the brewing stand while the awkward potion in the bottom slot.

The brewing stand is one of the essential tools in brewing potions. They can be crafted from blaze rods and cobblestone and used to brew a wide variety of potions.

When developing a potion in a brewing stand, it’s important to keep in mind that the brewing cycle takes time. Players must wait for the brewing cycle to complete before adding additional ingredients, as adding the items too soon will ruin the potion.

The Potion of Night Vision will grant the player temporary night vision for three to eight minutes, depending on how the player brewed it. As the name suggests, it enables the player to see in the dark, which can be useful for navigating caves, mining operations, or traversing the battlefield at night.

The Ingredients You’ll Need

To make a potion of night vision, you will need specific ingredients, the first being a water bottle. Notably, you cannot use any water bottle; it has to be an ordinary water bottle with no labels. Additionally, for every water bottle, you’ll need to add one nether wart, which you can find growing in nether fortresses, or by trading with Alchemist villagers.

After adding nether wart to your bottle, you’ll need to add an ingredient known as a golden carrot. You can find golden carrots in dungeon chests or in village gardens. While ordinary carrots are relatively common, golden carrots are a little more challenging to come by. This ingredient is what gives the potion its effect of night vision.

The final ingredient that you’ll need for your night vision potion is a Potion of Invisibility, which you can brew using golden carrots and a fermented spider eye. Unfortunately, the brewing process for this potion is way more complicated than the first two.

You’ll need to combine a fermented spider eye with an ordinary night vision potion to create the Potion of Invisibility. You can get a fermented spider eye by adding a sugar, brown mushrooms, and a spider eye to a brewing stand. After combining all the ingredients, you can brew them in the cooking pot, and voila! Your night vision potion is ready to use.

Water Bottles

As mentioned earlier, you’ll need a water bottle to brew your potion of night vision. Ensure that the water bottle is unpainted and does not have any labels on it. Most crafting tables come with water bottles, but if you don’t have one, you can still craft one.

Nether Wart

Nether wart is growing within the nether, and chances are, you’ll need to pay specific attention to its location to find it. You can also trade with alchemist villagers to get nether wart if you’re unable to explore the nether on your own.

Golden Carrots

Golden carrots are necessary ingredients that will give your potion its night vision effect. You can find them in dungeons, deserted mineshafts, and village gardens.

Potion of Invisibility

To make your potion of night vision more effective, you’ll need to add a Potion of Invisibility to it. You can brew the potion of invisibility using golden carrots and fermented spider eye, which you can brew by adding sugar to a spider eye and brown mushrooms.

Fermented Spider Eye

Fermented spider eye is created by adding sugar, spider eye, and brown mushrooms to a brewing stand. Adding a fermented spider eye to a Potion of Night Vision will create a Potion of Invisibility.

Cooking Pot

Your cooking pot is necessary for brewing your ingredients. Once you’ve combined all of your ingredients, you can brew them in the stove. You may need fuel, such as coal, to warm up the stove.

Brewing Stand

The brewing stand is where you can add your ingredients to create a potion. Unlike the cooking pot, the brewing stand requires a blaze rod to function.

Blaze Rod

You’ll need a blaze rod to activate your brewing stand. You can take a blaze rod from a blaze in the nether, and once you’ve obtained one, it can be used as a fuel source for your brewing stand.

Brewing Process

The brewing process can seem complicated, but it’s relatively straightforward. Combine all your ingredients in the brewing stand, and wait for the process to finish. Once you’ve completed the brewing process, you’ll have a night vision potion that can help you see in the dark.

Ingredients You Need

If you want to make a magical potion of night vision like the witches do, you need to collect some specific ingredients that are essential for this purpose. Here are the top ingredients you should add to your shopping list before you begin brewing your potion.

1. Carrots

The most crucial ingredient that you need to make a potion of night vision is the carrot. You must collect six carrots for one potion. Carrots are an excellent source of Vitamin A and beta-carotene and are known for their night-vision boosting properties. Once you have got all the carrots, it’s time to make them into a brewing stand. You can use the brewing stand to create an awkward potion, which will form the basis of your night vision potion.

2. Golden Carrots

In addition to six regular carrots, you will need one golden carrot. Golden carrots contain 3 times more Vitamin A than regular carrots and are great natural antioxidants that can help reduce vision loss and improve your night vision. You can craft the golden carrot using eight gold nuggets and a carrot, which you can find in your Minecraft world.

3. Rabbit’s Foot

The rabbit’s foot is another essential ingredient that must be a part of your night vision potion. The rabbit’s foot is a rare drop that you can find when you kill a rabbit in the Minecraft world. Although it may seem cruel, the rabbit’s foot has magical properties and can give the potion a jumping boost effect, making it easier to escape dangerous situations at night.

4. Awkward Potion

To create an awkward potion, you need three water bottles and a Nether Wart. You can find a Nether Wart plant in the Nether Fortress, which spawns randomly in the game. Once you have all the ingredients, it’s time to brew an awkward potion using a brewing stand and put it back in the top slot.

5. Glowstone Dust

Last but not least, you need to add Glowstone Dust to your awkward potion. You can obtain Glowstone Dust by mining the glowing stone that spawns in the Nether. The Glowstone Dust will give the potion the night vision effect. Once you have added the Glowstone dust to the awkward potion, voila! Your potion of night vision is ready to use.
