Potion of Invisibility at a glance

Potion of Invisibility, a potion out of brewing (Potion of Night Vision + Fermented Spider Eye), sits under Potions. No stacking for Potion of Invisibility: a slot goes the moment a second one comes in, and a chest row of nine holds nine.

Potion of Invisibility comes off a brewing stand and works on drinking, with Redstone Dust stretching how long it lasts and Glowstone Dust raising what it does. It sits between Potion of Healing (Instant Health II) and Potion of Night Vision in Potions, number 4 of 11 there.

How to obtain

  • Brewing (Potion of Night Vision + Fermented Spider Eye)

Notes

Mobs detect invisible players at reduced range. Wearing armor increases detection range. Duration extendable to 8 minutes.

Building with it

A fermented spider eye in a night vision potion gives invisibility. Armour, held items and arrows stuck in you still show, so the trick only works fully when you carry nothing visible, which is a real tactical decision rather than a free disappearance.

In practice

Mobs still detect an invisible player at close range, and armour, held items and arrows stuck in you all stay visible. That makes invisibility a way of crossing a room unnoticed rather than a way of standing in one, which is where most players first misuse it.
