Honey Bottle at a glance

Using Glass Bottle on full Beehive or Bee Nest gives you Honey Bottle, a food item filed under Food. Carrying Honey Bottle is cheap: 16 to a slot, 144 across the hotbar, 432 in a chest. It is worth 6 hunger and 1.2 saturation, which reads as 3 drumsticks.

Eating Honey Bottle puts 6 hunger and 1.2 saturation back on the clock, and while the hunger number fills the bar in front of you, the saturation is what keeps it working for you long afterwards. Generated chests only ever hold Honey Bottle in one place: trial chamber vaults (about 12%, 1 to 2 at a time). It sits between Golden Carrot and Mushroom Stew in Food, number 20 of 37 there.

Hunger Restored

6 (3 drumsticks)

Eat On A Full Bar

Yes

Eating

Eating Honey Bottle takes 2 seconds a helping, and 4 of them fill an empty bar, so 8 seconds of chewing takes you from starving to full. The saturation behind each point is 0.2, so Honey Bottle holds the bar steady that much longer after the meal. Number 26 of 37 for saturation: Beetroot at 1.2 does better, Raw Chicken at 1.2 does worse. A full bar is no obstacle here, because Honey Bottle can be eaten at any point. It also clears Poison straight off, which no other food in this list does.

Notes

Removes the Poison effect when consumed. Stacks to 16 unlike most food items. Can be crafted into Sugar or Honey Blocks.
