Overview
A Glass Bottle is the container everything drinkable lives in, and three glass makes three of them, so the supply problem is really a sand problem. Filled at any water source or cauldron it becomes a water bottle, which is the starting point of every potion in the game; used on a beehive at honey level 5 it becomes a Honey Bottle; used on the lingering cloud a dying ender dragon leaves behind it collects Dragon's Breath, the ingredient that turns splash potions into lingering ones. Bottles stack to 64 when empty and to 16 when filled with water or honey, which is why a brewing session starts by carrying a stack of empties and filling them at a cauldron beside the stand. Since a brewing stand brews three bottles at once for the same ingredient cost as brewing one, always work in threes — brewing a single potion wastes two thirds of every ingredient. A cauldron next to the stand saves the walk to water. A stack of empties and a cauldron is the whole infrastructure a serious brewing session actually needs.
Holding water for brewing, collecting honey from a hive and dragon's breath from the End — the container behind every potion, splash potion and lingering potion in the game.
Glass Bottle is a brewing item in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot. You get it by killing Witch.
It is crafted from Glass. It goes into exactly one recipe: Honey Bottle.
How to get it
Craft 3 from 3 Glass. Fill them at any water source or a cauldron; a full cauldron fills exactly 3 bottles before it empties. Sand smelts into glass one block at a time.
Tips
- Always brew three at a time: one ingredient covers all three slots, so single brewing wastes two thirds of it.
- Keep a Cauldron beside the brewing stand; it fills 3 bottles and saves walking to water.
- Empty bottles stack to 64 but filled ones stack to 16, so carry empties and fill on arrival.
- Sand into glass into bottles is a fast chain; a desert trip supplies a whole brewing operation's glassware.

One inventory slot holds 64, so a double chest holds 3,456.
