The Potion of Invisibility is a Potion that has a positive effect. The effect is Invisibility. Once you use the Potion, you will become invisible while still generating particle effects.

Potion of Invisibility only has basic and + variants. Depending on the Minecraft Edition, here are some of the basic stuff of the Invisibility effect.

In Minecraft Java

  1. If you’re getting attacked before you use the Potion of Invisibility in Minecraft java, the hostile mob still will attack you.
  2. When you use the Potion of Invisibility, hostile mobs won’t recognize you. But, if you’re getting close to them, they will attack and start attack as they would.
  3. If you’re using armor while being invisible, hostile mobs will recognize you easily. Try sneaking.
  4. If you hit a hostile mob while they can’t see you, it will immediately attack back and start attack as they would.

In Minecraft Bedrock

  1. If you use the Potion of Invisibility while getting followed by hostile mobs, they will forget you immediately.
  2. While being invisible, if you start getting very close to a hostile mob, it will attack you once and not follow you.
  3. A hostile mob will recognize you easily if you’re using armor. If you’re getting followed, try to make a distance, it will forget you afterward.
  4. If you hit a hostile mob while they can’t see you, it will immediately attack back and follow you. Try to make a distance so that it will forget you.

How to Make the Potions

Unlike most Potions, to make Potion of Invisibility, you need Potion of Night Vision. You can make Potion of Night Vision by combining Golden Carrot and Awkward Potion in the Brewing Stand.

Notes: 

  • When Brewing any Potions, make sure you put three Potions (or Water Bottles, if you try to make Awkward Potions) for the Output.
  • There are three types of Potions you can make. The first one is the basic, the second one (with + at the end of its name) comes extended duration, and level II (with increased effect power and lower time). But in this case, there are only two, the basic one and the extended duration (+).
  • In-game, the extended Potion doesn’t come with + at the end of its name. It’s a mark to lets you differentiate each Potion.
