A water bottle is a glass bottle filled with water. It can be emptied onto dirt to convert it to mud, and is a required base ingredient to brew any potion.

Splash water bottles and lingering water bottles are throwable variants obtained via brewing.

Obtaining

Glass bottle

Using a glass bottle on a water source returns a water bottle. Using a glass bottle on a water-filled cauldron also returns a water bottle, decreasing the water level in the cauldron by one level.

Bartering

When given a gold ingot, piglins have a ¹⁰⁄₄₆₉ (~2.13%) chance to barter a water bottle.

Fishing

Water bottles can be fished up as junk items.

Usage

Base potions

Water bottle is a base for multiple potions. Drinking it has no effect.

Name	Ingredients	Brewing recipe
Awkward Potion	Nether Wart + Water Bottle
Potion of Weakness	Fermented Spider Eye + Water Bottle
Mundane Potion	Redstone Dust or  Blaze Rod or  Stone or  Slime Block or  Cobweb or  Magma Cream or  Rabbit's Foot or  Sugar or  Glistering Melon Slice or  Spider Eye or  Ghast Tear or  Blaze Powder + Water Bottle
Thick Potion	Glowstone Dust + Water Bottle

Mud conversion

Using a water bottle, splash water bottle, or lingering water bottle on dirt, coarse dirt, or rooted dirt converts it into mud. This process can be automated with a dispenser. When the regular, splash, or lingering water bottle is used, it leaves a glass bottle in its inventory slot.^[1][2] Throwing splash and lingering water bottles does not convert the dirt into mud, and does not leave a glass bottle behind.

Filling cauldron

A water bottle adds 1 water level to a cauldron.

Splash and lingering water bottles

Splash water bottles have no effect on almost all entities, but they extinguish fire in the block hit and the four blocks horizontally surrounding it.

A splash water bottle deals 1HP damage to endermen, striders, snow golems, and blazes; however, endermen have a chance of teleporting away if hit with one.​^{[more information needed]} Splash and lingering water bottles will also restore 1800 game ticks (90 seconds) of air to an axolotl. Splash water bottles can extinguish burning entities.

In Java Edition, the lingering water bottle creates no effect cloud, while in Bedrock Edition it creates an effect cloud that extinguishes burning entities that walk into it.
