The easiest method is smelting, so place some sand or red sand into the top box of your furnace and any fuel of your choice in the bottom box.

Step

Place Three Glass Blocks On Your Crafting Table

Place three glass blocks on your crafting table, and you’ll have your glass bottles.

Where To Find Glass Bottles

You can find glass bottles when fishing. Upon killing a Witch, there’s a chance they’ll drop up to six glass bottles as loot.

What Can You Store In A Glass Bottle?

Glass bottles can store water, potions, honey, and dragon’s breath. To make potions , you will also need a brewing stand, which you can either find in a village church, an end ship, or an igloo basement.

You can also craft one with a blaze rod, and three blocks, ideally, cobblestone, blackstone, or cobbled deepslate. However, the Java edition allows you to use any stone-tier block.

You can fill a glass bottle with water by holding it and using it on a water block or by holding it on a cauldron filled with water.

Ideally, it’s best to fill bottles with a water source and only use a cauldron when exploring the Nether. You can also fill it by powering a dispenser that contains a bottle while pointing at a water block.

If you want to fill your glass bottle with honey, go to a bee’s nest or a beehive when it’s full.

Use the glass bottle on the block or power a dispenser holding a bottle on the block. This way, you’ll receive a whole bottle of honey.

To fill your glass bottle with the dragon’s breath, hold your glass bottle out when in clouds caused by the Ender Dragon.

These clouds will usually be caused by breathing or firing a dragon fireball at you. If you’re wondering why you would want dragon’s breath, you can use it to make a lingering potion when crafted with a splash potion.

What You Can Do With Potions In Minecraft

You can fill your glass bottle with a potion, but you need to fill it with water. Once filled, a third potion will be gone. You can use potions for various effects, but you need a water bottle to make them.

Here’s a list of some ways potions can affect you and your enemies:

• Regeneration
• Strength
• Health
• Speed
• Fire resistance
• Jumping boosts
• Water breathing
• Invisibility
• Night vision
• Poisons
• Weakness
• Slowness
• Instant damage
• Luck
• Slow Falling
• Withering

These are just status effects, and all potions have different levels.

You can also find them as mob loot if you don’t want to brew them. If you want a potion of invisibility, you can even go up and kill the Wandering Trader if he hasn’t drunk it already.

If you’re in the nether, you might even be able to barter with a Piglin for some potions. If not, you can find a few by exploring the end ships in the Nether.

Conclusion

In conclusion, knowing how to make a glass bottle will open the door to many benefits on your Minecraft adventure as you’ll be able to take advantage of potions and their many properties.
