Glass Bottle
Glass Bottle yields 3 containers from 3 glass and starts potion brewing after filling with water.
Description
Glass Bottle turns into a Water Bottle before potion brewing begins at a brewing stand. Glass Bottle also returns empty after a player drinks a potion or Honey Bottle, which makes the container reusable instead of disposable. For efficient preparation, keep separate stacks for water filling, honey harvesting, and dragon's breath collection; this prevents filled bottles from interrupting the next batch of 3 brewing slots.

Collect special liquids
Use a Glass Bottle on a hive at honey level 5 for a Honey Bottle, or on the Ender Dragon's breath cloud for Dragon's Breath.
Dragon's Breath turns a splash potion into a lingering potion; gunpowder is the ingredient that first turns a regular potion into a splash potion.

Frequently asked questions
How do you craft a Glass Bottle?
Place 3 glass blocks in a V shape: middle-left, middle-right, and bottom-center. The recipe yields 3 Glass Bottles.
What can a Glass Bottle collect?
A Glass Bottle collects water, honey from a hive at honey level 5, and dragon's breath from the Ender Dragon's lingering cloud.
Does harvesting honey lower the hive by one level?
No. Collecting a Honey Bottle from a full bee nest or beehive resets its honey level from 5 to 0 and can anger nearby bees unless smoke calms them.
Do you get a Glass Bottle back after drinking?
Yes. Drinking a potion or Honey Bottle leaves an empty Glass Bottle in the inventory, allowing the container to be reused.
