Required For Making A Night Vision Potion

• 1 Nether wart
• 1 Golden carrot
• 1 Water bottle
• 1 Blaze powder
• 1 Redstone dust (Only needed if making the potion of night vision (8:00))

Steps To Make A Night Vision Potion

Step 1. Open Your Brewing Stand Menu

To create the night vision potion (3:00) in Minecraft, let's first open your brewing stand menu. You should see the same menu as in the image below.

Step 2. Add The Brewing Ingredients To The Menu

In the brewing menu, add the blaze powder to the box on the far left. This will activate your brewing stand.

Then add the water bottle to one of the 3 boxes along the bottom. You can make a total of three night vision potions at one time by filling all three bottom boxes with water bottles.

Next, add the nether wart to the box at the top.

The potion will begin brewing. You will notice the arrow to the right of the nether wart will begin filling in white to show the progress. When that is done, the nether wart will disappear and an awkward potion will appear.

Next, add the golden carrot to the top box.

The potion will begin brewing again. You will notice the arrow to the right of the golden carrot will begin filling in white to show the progress. Once that is completely filled in your new night vision potion (3:00) will appear.

Tip: You can hover your cursor over the potion in the brewing stand to see its name and its effects.

Step 3. (Optional) Extend The Time Length Of Your Night Vision Potion

After crafting the night vision potion (3:00), which lasts 3 minutes, you can extend the length of time it lasts to 8 minutes.

With your brewing stand open, simply add your newly created night vision potion to one of the bottom boxes and add Redstone dust to the top box.

The potion will begin brewing. You will notice the arrow to the right of the Redstone dust will begin filling in white. Once that is completely filled in your new night vision potion (8:00) will appear.

And that's it! You now have a night vision potion (8:00)! The Minecraft night vision potion is a positive effect potion that when drunk, will allow you to see in the dark and underwater clearly. This useful for exploring the nether and searching underwater (for example, for a sunken ship).
