Where to Find Potion of Invisibility
2 places carry Potion of Invisibility: Nether (brewing ingredients) and Overworld (spider eyes). Which of them you walk into depends on the route you take to Potion of Invisibility. Because this is a Nether-side item, you first need an active Nether portal (a frame of obsidian lit with flint and steel) to reach the dimension where it is found. Fermented Spider Eye: 1 Spider Eye + 1 Brown Mushroom + 1 Sugar. Spider Eyes drop from Spiders and Cave Spiders. The route that does not involve crafting Potion of Invisibility at all: brewing it at a brewing stand.

Best Way to Get Potion of Invisibility
The quickest way to Potion of Invisibility is the obvious one, and it is efficient enough: brew it using Potion of Night Vision + Fermented Spider Eye. Armor and held items remain visible; remove armor for true invisibility. Mobs detect invisible players at reduced range depending on armor worn. Set up for Potion of Invisibility in batches rather than singles: three bottles per brew, Redstone Dust in the mix when you want it to last, Glowstone Dust when you want it stronger, and a stock of the base ingredient either way. Plan the trip around the slot count rather than the stack size: Potion of Invisibility takes one slot each, a chest holds 27 and a double chest tops out at 54, so decide up front how many you need. the original 1.0 release is where Potion of Invisibility entered the game, and it has worked the same way ever since, so nothing here depends on which update you are on. Brewed in bulk, Potion of Invisibility is the kind of consumable you stockpile before a major expedition, since having several on hand can be the difference in a dangerous fight or a long dive.

Invisibility is a two-step brew: night vision first, then a fermented spider eye to flip it. That means golden carrots and a spider eye with sugar and a brown mushroom, so it is a potion you plan a farm around. Remember that armour and held items stay visible, which is why players drink it stripped down.
What to watch out for with Potion of Invisibility
Invisibility only works fully if you take off your armour, which is a real decision rather than a detail. Mobs still notice you at very close range, and any item in your hand stays visible, so the practical use is slipping past a group rather than standing in the middle of one.
