Give Suspicious Stew with a Chosen Effect

Get suspicious stew that grants a specific status effect. Run: /give @p suspicious_stew[suspicious_stew_effects=[{id:"minecraft:night_vision",duration:600}]] 1. Suspicious stew's effect is normally decided by which flower you craft it with; the suspicious_stew_effects component lets you pick any effect and duration (in ticks — 600 = 30 seconds). It's the only food that grants effects with no visible label, which makes it a classic for pranks and UHC-style loadouts. Works on Java Edition 26.2. Last verified June 2026.
