The Minecraft Swift Sneak enchantment can only be obtained from treasure chests located inside the Ancient Cities — they cannot be crafted or made. These enchantments are found inside random chests spread across the underground biome.

Make sure to be abundantly prepared since the Ancient Cities will be guarded by a Warden, one of the most powerful mobs in Minecraft. It is recommended that you have highly upgraded weapons and armor before you enter the Ancient Cities. Once inside, scour the area until you come across a chest that gives you the Swift Sneak enchantment.

You can use the Minecraft Swift Sneak enchantment to evade mobs or ambush them. Leggings enchanted with Swift Sneak also make it easier for you to creep up on animals you are hunting and eliminate them before they can run away.

It is also useful if you wish to evade the Warden when exploring Ancient Cities. Sneaking past Sculk sensors does not trigger them and can help you avoid the Warden's wrath.
