Potion brewing in Minecraft: every recipe in one place
The exception is the Fermented Spider Eye:
Tested 26.3
The Spider Eye is dropped by Spiders, cave spiders and witches. It is poisonous to eat, but it is a key brewing ingredient: it gives potions of poison, and fermented, it reverses other potions.
It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests.
What it does
Eating a spider eye restores two hunger points but poisons you for a few seconds, so it is never worth it unless you are starving. Brewed into an awkward potion, it makes a Potion of Poison, a classic for splash potions against groups of mobs.
Combined with sugar and a brown mushroom, a spider eye becomes a Fermented Spider Eye. That ingredient corrupts potions: it turns swiftness into slowness, healing into harming, night vision into invisibility, and creates the Potion of Weakness from a water bottle.
Spider eyes are also the favorite food of Armadillos: holding one makes them follow you, and feeding two lets them breed, which is how you farm armadillo scutes for wolf armor.
