How to get a Honey Bottle in Survival Mode

You can add a honey bottle to your inventory in Survival mode by finding a bee nest filled with honey and gathering the honey from it using a bottle. So, let’s get started!

1. Find a Bee Nest

First, you need to find a bee nest in your Minecraft world. A bee nest is usually found in theÂ Plains,Â Flower ForestÂ orÂ Sunflower PlainsÂ biomes.

2. Hold the Glass Bottle

3. Fill the Bottle with Honey

As the bees (carrying pollen) enter the bee nest, the honey level of the bee nest will increase. Once the bee nest is full of honey, you will see the honey dripping from the holes. Now it is time to use the bottle to gather the honey from the bee nest.

While standing in front of the bee nest, scoop the honey out of the bee nest with the bottle. TheÂ game controlÂ to collect the honey in the bottle depends on the version of Minecraft:

For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the bee nest.
For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the bee nest.
For Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
For PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the bee nest.
For Education Edition, right click on the bee nest.

You will see the message “Honey Bottle” appear on the screen and your bottle will turn yellowish-orange because it is now filled with honey.

TIP:Â When you use the bottle to gather the honey, you will anger one of theÂ beesÂ and it will attack and sting you (giving you theÂ Poison effect).

Congratulations, you have made a honey bottle in Minecraft!
