If we want to avoid using it, it can be very useful to drink a potion of water breathing, which we will need to prolong our dives and live a long time. It can last up to eight minutes! Not bad right?

In this guide I will show you how to get a potion of water breathing in a few simple steps! I’m sure you’ll thank me. What are we waiting for then? Let’s get started right away!
