Water bottles are a type of storage item for liquids in Minecraft. It can be easily made with a glass bottle and some water. Water bottles are instantly made into other products by players and are not usually used as they are. However, they do have a few great uses.

To make this item, players will need to make a glass bottle with three glass blocks in a v-shape on the crafting table. Once they obtain the glass bottles, they can fill them with any water source, be it a river, an ocean, or even a cauldron filled with water. Once crafted, this item can be used in several ways.

If players have spent some time in the game, they must have noticed that the tall, eerie mob called Enderman takes damage from water. If players make a splash water bottle by combining it with gunpowder on a brewing stand, they can throw it towards the mysterious mob to damage them. The mob will take about half a heart of damage from the thrown bottle.


2) Attacking Blazes

Like Enderman, Blazes can also be hurt with a splash water bottle. These mobs dwell in the Nether Fortress and are fire-type. Hence, the water deals half a heart of damage from the thrown bottle. It might not be the most useful weapon against these mobs, but it can certainly help players reduce their health to some extent.
