Afterwards, you are able to highlight the potion bottle at the bottom of the Brewing Stand to discover a Water Breathing Potion for 3 minutes.

As we know that potion is one of the great ways to breathe in water. However, there are also some methods to breathe in water without potions.

Way 1: Use Conduit

Here is a way to breathe in water using a conduit:

Please prepare these ingredients to make the conduit:

• • 8 Nautilus Shells.
  • A Heart of the Sea.

Then, follow these steps below to make a conduit to breathe in water in this sandbox game.

• • Please go to the locations of shipwrecks to find a treasure map.
  • Then, open the map which is still incomplete.
  • You have to swim towards the spot marked by an X and stand next to it.
  • Next, start to dig and find the treasure chest which contains a Heart of the Sea.
  • Afterwards, go to discover eight nautilus shells from several drowned at the sea.
  • Lastly, open the crafting table to make the Conduit. Just place the Heart of the Sea in the central box and 8 shells around the heart to make this tool.

Way 2: Use Turtle Helmet

To get five turtle shells, you have to breed Minecraft turtles and feed them. Please wait until those turtles lay five eggs. Then, you have to raise 5 baby turtles to get 5 adult turtles by feeding them with seagrass. You are able to find seagrasses in the non-frozen ocean.

Then, follow these steps below to craft a turtle shell and use it to breathe in water.

Way 3: Use Airlock

Here is how to breathe in water by using doors for the airlock:

• • At the first step, build a room underwater.
  • Then, prepare materials to build the airlock, including water, sand and torches.
  • You have to make sure that the hallway’s ceiling equals the highest water level.
  • Also, you have to place the torch on the wall where water can contact it. Please ensure that you leave enough space above so that you will be able to supply enough sand to seal the Chamber.
  • Afterwards, you have to place sand above that torch until it reaches the ceiling.
  • You will be able to repeat this process until the hall is waterproofed.
