How to Find Ingredients for Fermented Spider Eyes

  1. 1

    Spider Eye: defeat Spiders Look for spiders roaming around in caves or outside when it’s nighttime in the game. Hit the spider a few times until you defeat it. All spiders have a 1 in 3 chance to drop a Spider Eye once they’re defeated.[2]

    • Spiders are pretty easy enemies to defeat. It only takes a couple swings with a sword or a few arrows to take them down.
    • Witches also have a small chance of dropping a Spider Eye if you defeat them.
    • If you find a Desert Pyramid in a sandy biome, there may be Spider Eyes hidden in chests inside.
  2. 2

    Brown Mushroom: search in dark areas or break huge brown mushrooms Brown Mushrooms typically grow in caves or on the ground in dark, shady locations. When you find the mushrooms on the ground, just hit them once to break them and add them to your inventory.[3]

    • Look for huge brown mushrooms that are the size of trees as well. If you break a block on a huge mushroom, it normally drops 2 Brown Mushrooms.
    • Mushrooms may also appear in fully lit areas if you’re in swamp, mushroom field, or old growth taiga biomes, or if you’re in the Nether.
  3. 3

    Sugar: harvest Sugar Cane and craft it into Sugar Sugar Cane grows in tall green stalks near bodies of water. Simply hit Sugar Cane to break the block and pick it up. Open your inventory and place the Sugar Cane in the 2x2 grid to convert it into Sugar.[4]

    • If you want to give the Fermented Spider Eye to a specific person, replace “@p” with the player’s username, even your own!
    • To change the number of Fermented Spider Eyes you give, replace the “1” with any other number.

      • Collect multiple ingredients at the same time so you’re able to make multiple Fermented Spider Eyes. Store whatever you don’t use in a chest so you can easily access them later.
