Enchanted Broom

Flying around on a broomstick is certainly one of the main characteristics associated with witchcraft, and this is exactly what an Enchanted Broom is.

Place the broom on the ground and activate it to mount it, then move forward or backwards, steering left and right as required. Look up and push forward to ascend, look down and push forward to descend. Press the sneak key (normally shift) to dismount.

When dismounting, the broom will continue to move, so come to a stop first. Also, it is not advisable to dismount in the air for two reasons, first, the fall might kill you and second, the broom will stay where it was, so it might be hard to recover.

To recover a dismounted broom, bash it until it breaks, then pick it up.

Hitting a glyph block drawn with chalk while holding a broom, will remove the glyph instantly rather than taking a few seconds.

Brooms can also be named using an anvil; for all those ballgame fans who absolutely must have a Nimbus 2000 or a Firebolt.

The color of a brooms bristles can be changed by using a dye on the broom when it is placed in the world.

A witch (or warlock) that has an Owl familiar will find controlling a broom to be much easier with better deceleration and the ability to strafe.

Crafting an Enchanted Broom requires a broom and flying ointment for use in the Rite of Infusion; as described in the book Witchcraft: Circle Magic. There is also a step-by-step guide how to make it.
