How to Breathe Underwater In Minecraft

There are numerous ways to be able to breathe underwater in the game, from potions to enchantments among many others, whatever method you choose you are sure to be diving through all of the caves that the new update has to offer in no time. The first method of being able to breathe underwater involves utilizing a ‘Brewing Station’. The regular potion of water breathing will allow you three minutes of underwater breathing. It requires you to collect a Pufferfish, a Nether Wart, and a Water Bottle. Once you have all of the core ingredients, simply visit the brewing station and allocate all of the items into the respective boxes, once that is completed, you can brew the potion and drink it to indulge yourself in water breathing within the experience.

Another way to breathe longer underwater is by gathering an enchantment that will allow you to do so. There are a wide variety of enchantments to obtain and specifically, the water-breathing enchantment will allow you to keep on the move without worrying about drowning underwater in survival mode or adventure mode. The ‘Respiration’ enchantment will allow you more time underwater before drowning, it adds 15 (level) seconds extra for breathing underwater and there are three power levels to it.

You can also utilize turtle shells and arrows of water-breathing to be able to breathe underwater along with the other methods.
