What is a Night Vision Potion in Minecraft?

A Night Vision Potion is a special potion that you can brew in Minecraft to have assistance with your vision at night. At Night time the Vision of Minecraft's world decreases a lot, which makes it hard for the players to see. Therefore, it becomes a high possibility that you can't wander around without the help of any additional tools such as torches, lanterns or a special potion. The Night Vision Potion gives you 3 minutes of visibility to navigate the world at night. The validity of the potion can also be increased using reddust. Through these, you can see different mobs and obstacles in the decreased visibility. However, it is important to note that the Minecraft potion is only for visibility and will not protect you from the mobs if they come your way.

Minecraft Night Vision Potion Recipe

As per the Minecraft night vision potion recipe, you will have to brew an awkward potion first. This can be brewed using a water bottle and a Nether Wart. Brew the awkward potion with the golden carrot next, and you will have a Night Vision Potion. Here's how you can craft some of the ingredients.

Brewing Stand

To make a Brewing stand, you need 1 Blaze Rod (dropped by Blazes in the Nether) and 3 Cobblestones (or Blackstone, if you’re in the Nether). Craft them in the 3x3 grid to have a brewing stand of your own.

Golden Carrot

You can make this with a carrot and golden nuggets, which is much less expensive than a golden brick, thus saving you a lot of money for future use. Place the carrot in the middle of a 3x3 grid and surround it with golden nuggets, craft the recipe, and you will get a golden carrot.

Nether Wart

This is one of the most important ingredients in brewing a potion. You can get these in the Nether Fortresses or in small gardens inside certain Bastion Remnants.

Water Bottle

You can craft a water bottle by crafting it in a 3x3 grid. Place 3 glass blocks in a V position such that the glass is in left-middle, right-middle, and bottom-middle. These will give you three bottles.
