As a Minecraft enthusiast, I’ve always been fascinated by the wide range of potions that can be brewed in the game. One of my favorite potions to create is the Water Breathing Potion. This handy elixir allows you to explore the depths of the ocean without the need for cumbersome diving gear. In this article, I’ll guide you through the process of brewing your very own Water Breathing Potion in Minecraft.
Gathering the Ingredients
To begin our potion-making journey, we first need to gather the necessary ingredients. To brew a Water Breathing Potion, you will need:
- Glass Bottles – These can be crafted using three glass blocks in a “U” shape in a crafting table.
- Nether Wart – This can be found in Nether Fortresses or by killing Wither Skeletons.
- Pufferfish – You can find these underwater, usually in oceans or rivers.
- Blaze Powder – This is obtained by killing Blazes in Nether Fortresses.
Creating the Brewing Stand
Now that we have all the ingredients, we need a brewing stand to brew our potions. To create a brewing stand, follow these steps:
- Craft Blaze Rods by smelting Blaze Powder in a furnace.
- Combine three Blaze Rods with three cobblestones in a “T” shape in a crafting table.
- Place the brewing stand on the ground by right-clicking.
Brewing the Potion
Now that we have our brewing stand set up, it’s time to start brewing our Water Breathing Potion:
- Fill the glass bottles with water by right-clicking on a water source block.
- Place the filled bottles in the bottom row of the brewing stand.
- Add the Nether Wart to the top slot of the brewing stand.
- Wait for the Nether Wart to turn into Awkward Potion.
- Remove the Awkward Potion from the brewing stand and add the Pufferfish to the top slot.
- Wait for the Pufferfish to turn the Awkward Potion into a Water Breathing Potion.
- Once the brewing process is complete, collect the Water Breathing Potion from the brewing stand.
Using the Potion
Now that you have a Water Breathing Potion, it’s time to put it to good use! Simply equip the potion in your hotbar and right-click to consume it. Once consumed, you’ll be able to breathe underwater for a duration of 3 minutes.
It’s important to note that the duration of the potion can be extended by adding Redstone Dust to the Water Breathing Potion in the brewing stand. This can be useful if you have a particularly long underwater adventure planned.
Conclusion
The Water Breathing Potion is a valuable tool for any Minecraft player looking to explore the depths of the ocean. By following the steps outlined in this article, you’ll be able to brew your own Water Breathing Potion and embark on underwater adventures with ease. So dive in and start brewing!
