Where to Find Potion of Invisibility

Potion of Invisibility can turn up across Nether (brewing ingredients) and Overworld (spider eyes), so the search area spans more than one place depending on which method you use. 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 main non-crafting route is brewing it at a brewing stand.

Best Way to Get Potion of Invisibility

The most efficient method is straightforward — 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. For brewing, set up a brewing stand near a steady supply of the base ingredient so you can batch up to three at a time, and use Redstone Dust to extend duration or Glowstone Dust to amplify the effect. Remember that Potion of Invisibility does not stack, so each one you gather takes a full inventory slot — bring a chest or shulker box if you plan to collect several. Potion of Invisibility has been in the game since the original 1.0 release, so it behaves the same on every up-to-date world and server. 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.
