What is Spider Eye in Minecraft?
A spider eye is a creepy looking but very useful item that is dropped by spiders in Minecraft. You should not eat it by itself, as it will give you the poison effect and hurt you. Its true purpose is as a magical ingredient for brewing potions. A spider eye is the key ingredient for making a Potion of Poison, and it can also be used to "corrupt" other helpful potions, turning them into potions with negative effects that you can use as weapons. It is an essential item for any alchemist who wants to master the art of brewing and create a full range of magical concoctions, both good and bad.
How to get Spider Eye in Minecraft
Getting a spider eye is as simple as fighting the monsters of the night. The main way to get one is as a drop from spiders and cave spiders. These common eight legged mobs spawn in any dark area, so you will likely collect a few spider eyes just by exploring caves or being outside at night. Witches also have a chance to drop a spider eye when they are defeated. You can find witches in swamp huts, or you might encounter them during a pillager raid. If you build a mob farm that collects drops from spiders, you can get a very large and steady supply of spider eyes for all your brewing needs.
How to use Spider Eye in Minecraft
The main use for a spider eye is in a brewing stand. If you add a spider eye to an Awkward Potion, you will create a Potion of Poison. You can also use it to modify existing potions. For example, adding a spider eye to a Potion of Swiftness will turn it into a Potion of Slowness. This works for several other potions as well. You can also craft a spider eye with a brown mushroom and sugar to create a fermented spider eye. A fermented spider eye is an even more powerful brewing ingredient, used to create potions of Weakness, Harming, Slowness, and Invisibility. It is a key item for making some of the most useful potions in the game.
