In Minecraft, you can brew a Potion of Night Vision (8:00) that is extended to last longer than a regular Potion of Night Vision (3:00). When this potion is drank, it will give you the Night Vision effect so that you can see in the dark for 8 minutes.

Let’s explore how to make this potion.

How to craft this Potion in Survival Mode

1. Open the Brewing Stand menu

2. Add Blaze Powder to Activate the Brewing Stand

Start by adding blaze powder in the far left box to activate the brewing stand.

In the Brewing Stand menu, you place ingredients in the top box and the potions are created in the bottom three boxes.

To make a Potion of Night Vision (8:00), you will need 1 Potion of Night Vision (3:00) and 1 redstone dust.

Place the Potion of Night Vision (3:00) in one of the bottom boxes in the Brewing Stand menu. Then add the redstone dust to the top box.

Once the brewing process is complete, you will hear a “glug glug glug” sound and the redstone dust will disappear. The Potion of Night Vision (8:00) will now be finished.

Your bottle will now contain a Potion of Night Vision (8:00).

If you drink the Potion of Night Vision (8:00), it will give you night vision for 8 minutes. This is extremely useful when exploring the nether and under the ocean.

At this point, you can add this Potion of Night Vision (8:00) to your inventory or you can continue and turn the potion into a Splash Potion of Night Vision (6:00).
