Prepare Water Bottles

Fill the glass bottles with the water by a right-click on the water source. Place the bottles in the bottom 3 slots of the Brewing Stand.

Brew Awkward Potions

Add the Nether Wart to the top slot. Wait for the brewing to complete. It will turn the Water Bottles into the Awkward Potions. These potions are a base for most potions.

Add Golden Carrot

On the top slot, place the Golden Carrot. In just a few seconds, Awkward Potions will transform into Potions of Night Vision, which will last 3 minutes.

Extend Duration (Optional)

For making the potion last longer than 8 minutes, Redstone Dust can be added to the top slot.

Add the Gunpowder to the Night Vision Potion to create the throwable version, which impacts the other players or the mobs.

Lingering Potion of Night Vision

Combine the Splash Potion with the Dragon’s Breath and create the Lingering Potion. It will leave a cloud of effect for anyone walking through it.

What is the use of Night Vision Potion?

Night Vision Potion helps to raise the brightness level to 15. It makes the dark areas appear as if they are fully lit. It also helps to improve underwater visibility, allowing players to see clearly when they explore the rivers or the oceans. The potion is quite helpful in exploring, mining, and even building in low-light conditions.

Tips for the Brewing Success in Minecraft

Grow the Nether Wart: After finding the Nether Wart in the Nether Fortress, plant the same on the Soul Sand within the Overworld. It will ensure its steady supply.
Stock up on the Gold: The Golden Carrots are important. So, keep the stash of gold nuggets and carrots.
Use the Redstone wisely: To extend the duration of the potion is always a great idea, especially for long expeditions.
