What is Honey Bottle in Minecraft?
A honey bottle is a sweet, golden liquid in Minecraft that you can get from bee nests and beehives. It is a unique food item because, in addition to restoring a good amount of hunger, it also has a special ability to cure poison. If you get poisoned by a cave spider or a witch, drinking a honey bottle will instantly remove the poison effect. This makes it a very useful item to carry with you when exploring dangerous caves. A honey bottle is also a key ingredient for crafting honey blocks, which are sticky, bouncy blocks with many fun and creative uses in building and redstone contraptions.
How to get Honey Bottle in Minecraft
To get a honey bottle, you need to find a bee nest or a beehive that is full of honey. Bee nests are found on trees in biomes like plains and flower forests. You can tell a nest or hive is full when you see honey dripping from it. Once you find a full one, you will need an empty glass bottle. You can craft a glass bottle from three blocks of glass. Hold the empty glass bottle in your hand and right click on the full bee nest or beehive. This will fill your bottle, and you will have a honey bottle. Be careful, as doing this will anger the bees inside, and they will attack you. To collect honey safely, place a campfire directly underneath the nest or hive. The smoke will calm the bees, and they will not bother you when you collect the honey.
How to use Honey Bottle in Minecraft
The most common way to use a honey bottle is to drink it. Hold it in your hand and right click to drink it. This will restore six hunger points and, more importantly, it will instantly cure you of any poison effect. After you drink it, you will get the empty glass bottle back. The other major use for a honey bottle is to craft a honey block. By combining four honey bottles in a 2x2 square on a crafting table, you can create one honey block. Honey blocks are sticky, so they will slow down players and mobs that walk on them. They also stick to other blocks when moved by pistons, which is very useful for redstone machines. You can also slide down the side of a honey block to slow your fall.
