Let’s explore how to make this potion.

2. Add Blaze Powder to Activate the Brewing Stand

In the Brewing Stand menu, you place ingredients in the top box and the potions are created in the bottom three boxes.

To make a Potion of Water Breathing (8:00), you will need 1 Potion of Water Breathing (3:00) and 1 redstone dust.

Place the Potion of Water Breathing in one of the bottom boxes in the Brewing Stand menu. Then add the redstone dust to the top box.
