If you want to make a Potion of Swiftness, you will have to gather these following ingredients or crafting materials:

1. Water Bottle

Water Bottle refers to the base ingredient or material to all potions. This one is made with a Glass Bottle. You can just right click on any water source to make it. If it is put in a brewing stand with an ingredient, it will become a potion.

2. Nether Wart

Nether Wart is known as a fungus that is usually found in the Nether. It is really important in the creation of potions.

3. Sugar

Sugar is the name of an item that is able to be obtained by one of many methods, with putting sugar cane in a crafting table as the most popular one. It is also able to be obtained by killing witches or putting honey bottles in the crafting table.

4. Blaze Powder

Blaze Powder can be described as an item that is made from a blaze rod that is usually obtained from blazes. The main function of it is to fuel brewing stands, to brew strength potions, and to make eyes of ender to take you to the End.

Once you have gathered all the materials, it is time for you to make a Potion of Swiftness by following these instructions below:

• The first thing that you will need to do is walk over to the Brewing Stand and put the Blaze Powder in the box furthest to the left. You will not be able to brew the potion if there is no Blaze Powder.

• Then, add the Nether Wart after adding Water Bottle and Blaze Powder. You can do it by putting it in the top box on the Brewing Stand screen. When doing it, you will be able to see the bubbles between the Blaze Powder and the Nether Wart turn white. It means the brewing process has started. Please wait for the Nether Wart to disappear and when it does, it means the step is done.

• The last thing that should be done is to add the sugar to the same box that the Nether Wart was in. Just like the last time, please wait for it to disappear. Once the sugar has disappeared, a glugging noise will be heard, indicating that you have successfully brewed a potion in the game. In the end, you will have the Potion of Swiftness (3:00) in the bottom of the Brewing Stand, which is now able to be added to your inventory.
