If you’re just beginning your journey in Minecraft, the abundance of various items might be a bit overwhelming.

This item is very useful — it’s required for brewing potions, which are indispensable for any brave explorer, and for collecting liquids. With it, you can create potions of healing, night vision, speed, strength, and even fire resistance potions so you won’t fear lava!

First, you need to gather some sand. It’s easy to find: sand is usually located near water bodies, in deserts, or on beaches. Grab a shovel and set out to find some. I recommend collecting plenty of this resource because sand is the primary material for making glass.

Now that we have sand, let’s go to the furnace. If you don’t have a furnace yet, make one out of cobblestone. Open the furnace interface and place the sand in the top slot, and add fuel to the bottom slot (I mentioned the fuel in this guide). Great! In a few seconds, you’ll have clean glass. You need three blocks of glass.

But remember, a bottle is needed for each potion, so make plenty of them!

Tips for beginner alchemists

🔸 Gather plenty of bottles — they’ll come in handy! Even if you’re not planning to brew potions right away, having a stockpile of bottles won’t hurt. For example, you can store honey in them.

🔸 Create a small pond near your base — this way, you can quickly fill bottles with water and save time searching for a water source.

🔸 Collect potion Ingredients — don’t overlook plants if you have free space in your inventory.

Now you know how to make a glass bottle and use it effectively. There are still many discoveries and experiments with potions ahead, so good luck on your adventures in the world of Minecraft!
