This sound is associated with Minecraft, the sandbox game released by Mojang in 2011. Potion-related audio became widely reused in gameplay edits, short memes and parody videos because players instantly connect it with brewing, healing and status effects. Its popularity comes from how short and readable it is: even a brief clip can signal a game mechanic without any visual explanation. It still shows up in Minecraft compilations, challenge videos and reaction edits whenever creators want a fast magical or utility-style cue.
