How To Make A Potion Of Swiftness In Minecraft

Gather the Required Materials

Before you can create a Potion of Swiftness in Minecraft, you’ll need to make sure you have all the necessary materials. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:

• Glass Bottles: These are the containers that will hold your potions. You can craft glass bottles by using three glass blocks in a ‘V’ shape on a crafting table.
• Nether Wart: This is a key ingredient for brewing potions. Nether Wart can be found naturally growing in Nether Fortresses. You can harvest it by breaking the blocks it’s growing on.
• Sugar: Sugar is used to create the base for the Potion of Swiftness. You can craft sugar by placing sugar canes in a crafting table.
• Blaze Powder: Blaze Powder is used as fuel for the brewing stand. It can be obtained by killing Blazes, which are found in Nether Fortresses.
• Redstone Dust (optional): Redstone Dust can be used to extend the duration of the Potion of Swiftness. It can be obtained by mining Redstone Ore with an iron or diamond pickaxe.

Once you have gathered all these materials, you’ll be ready to start brewing your Potion of Swiftness.

Locate a Brewing Stand

Now that you have all the required materials, the next step is to find a Brewing Stand. Brewing Stands can be found in various locations, including villages, witch huts, strongholds, and igloos. Alternatively, you can craft a Brewing Stand using three cobblestones and a Blaze Rod.

Once you have located a Brewing Stand, place it in a suitable location. It’s best to set it up in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable objects. This will ensure a safe brewing process.

The Brewing Stand has three main slots:

1. The bottom slot is where you’ll place the Blaze Powder as fuel to power the Brewing Stand.
2. The top left slot is where you’ll add the water bottles that will eventually contain your potions.
3. The top right slot is where you’ll add the ingredients required to create different types of potions.

Now that you have set up your Brewing Stand, you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Add Blaze Powder to Activate the Brewing Stand

With your Brewing Stand set up, it’s time to activate it by adding Blaze Powder. Blaze Powder is a necessary fuel source for the Brewing Stand.

To add Blaze Powder, follow these steps:

1. Move the Blaze Powder to your hotbar. You can obtain Blaze Powder by crafting it from Blaze Rods, which are dropped by Blazes.
2. Approach the Brewing Stand and right-click on it to open the interface.
3. In the brewing interface, place the Blaze Powder in the bottom slot, which is the fuel slot. This will activate the Brewing Stand.

Once you’ve successfully added the Blaze Powder, you will see a flame animation indicating that the Brewing Stand is now active.

It’s important to note that Blaze Powder can fuel the Brewing Stand for multiple brewing sessions. Each Blaze Powder will power the Brewing Stand for 20 brewing cycles.

With the Brewing Stand activated, you’re ready to move on to the next step: preparing the water bottles.

Place Water Bottles in the Brewing Stand

Now that you have activated the Brewing Stand, it’s time to prepare the water bottles that will contain your potions. Follow these steps:

1. Ensure that you have Glass Bottles in your inventory. Glass Bottles can be crafted by using three glass blocks in a ‘V’ shape on a crafting table.
2. Approach the Brewing Stand and right-click on it to open the interface.
3. In the brewing interface, place the Glass Bottles in the top left slot of the Brewing Stand. You can place up to three Glass Bottles at a time.
4. Once the Glass Bottles are placed in the Brewing Stand, they will fill with water, ready to be used for brewing potions.

It’s important to remember that each Glass Bottle can hold three portions of potions. This means that with three Glass Bottles, you can brew up to nine potions.

With the Glass Bottles in place, you’re ready to move on to the next step: adding Nether Wart to create the Awkward Potion.

Add Nether Wart to Create Awkward Potion

With the water bottles prepared, it’s time to start brewing the Potion of Swiftness. The first step is to add Nether Wart to create an Awkward Potion, which serves as the base for many other potions.

Follow these steps to add Nether Wart:

1. Ensure that you have Nether Wart in your inventory. Nether Wart can be found growing naturally in Nether Fortresses.
2. Approach the Brewing Stand and right-click on it to open the interface.
3. In the brewing interface, place the Nether Wart in the top right slot of the Brewing Stand.
4. After adding Nether Wart, the brewing process will begin. You will see bubbles and hear a bubbling sound, indicating that the potion is brewing.
5. Wait for the brewing process to complete. It usually takes a few moments for the Awkward Potion to be ready.
6. Once the brewing process is complete, the Brewing Stand will produce an Awkward Potion. You will see a new potion icon in the bottom slot of the brewing interface.

With the Awkward Potion created, you’re now one step closer to brewing the Potion of Swiftness! The next step is to add Sugar to enhance the potion.

Add Sugar to Create Potion of Swiftness

With the Awkward Potion in the Brewing Stand, it’s time to add Sugar to create the Potion of Swiftness. Sugar is a key ingredient that will grant your character increased speed when consumed.

Follow these steps to add Sugar:

1. Ensure that you have Sugar in your inventory. Sugar can be crafted by placing Sugar Canes in a crafting table.
2. Approach the Brewing Stand and right-click on it to open the interface.
3. In the brewing interface, place the Sugar in the top right slot of the Brewing Stand.
4. Once the Sugar is added, the brewing process will begin again, and you will see bubbles and hear a bubbling sound.
5. Allow the brewing process to complete. This may take a few seconds.
6. Once the brewing process is finished, the Brewing Stand will produce a Potion of Swiftness. You will see a new potion icon in the bottom slot of the brewing interface.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a Potion of Swiftness using Nether Wart and Sugar. This potion will provide you with increased speed for a short duration.

Please note that the default Potion of Swiftness will grant you a 20% increase in movement speed for 3 minutes. If you want to extend the duration of the potion, you can add Redstone to the Brewing Stand, as explained in the next step.

Add Redstone to Extend the Duration of the Potion of Swiftness

If you want to extend the duration of your Potion of Swiftness, you can add Redstone to the Brewing Stand during the brewing process. Redstone is a handy ingredient that modifies the effect of certain potions, including the Potion of Swiftness.

To extend the duration of the Potion of Swiftness, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that you have Redstone Dust in your inventory. Redstone Dust can be obtained by mining Redstone Ore with an iron or diamond pickaxe.
2. Approach the Brewing Stand and right-click on it to open the interface.
3. In the brewing interface, place the Redstone Dust in the top right slot of the Brewing Stand.
4. Once the Redstone Dust is added, the brewing process will commence again, and you will see bubbles and hear the brewing sound.
5. Wait for the brewing process to complete. This may take a few seconds.
6. Once the brewing process finishes, the Brewing Stand will produce an extended-duration Potion of Swiftness. You will see a new potion icon in the bottom slot, denoting the extended duration.

The addition of Redstone will increase the duration of the Potion of Swiftness. By default, the Potion of Swiftness lasts for 3 minutes. However, by adding Redstone, you can extend the duration up to 8 minutes and 20 seconds.

With your extended-duration Potion of Swiftness ready, you’re now fully equipped to enjoy the increased speed benefits for a longer period of time.

These steps cover the brewing process for the Potion of Swiftness. All that’s left is to collect and store your potions, which will be covered in the next section.

2. In the brewing interface, you will find the newly brewed Potion of Swiftness in the bottom slot. It will be displayed as a potion bottle icon.
3. To collect the potion, simply click and drag the potion bottle icon into your inventory. You can collect multiple potions if you have brewed more than one.
4. Ensure that you have enough inventory space to accommodate the desired number of potions. If your inventory is full, make room by removing any unnecessary items.
5. Once the potions are safely stored in your inventory, they are ready to be used whenever you need a burst of swiftness.

Remember to prioritize storing your potions in a safe location, as they can be valuable and useful during your adventures. Keep them in chests or special storage areas to ensure they are easily accessible when needed.

Additionally, you can organize your potions by using various storage methods, such as labeling or categorizing them in separate chests, so you can easily find the Potion of Swiftness when you need it.
