Throw Explosive Cocktails! Bottle o' Fire (Molotov)

What potions do you lack in Minecraft? There are those for rapid health regeneration and fire resistance. Need to move at night? Night vision potions will help you. The vanilla version features several dozen potions, both usual and explosive, but still, not all of them can help you in battle. However, PvP is not an insignificant game element, is it? It is here where a data pack called Throw Explosive Cocktails! Bottle o' Fire (Molotov) comes to the rescue.

It adds a new kind of potion, namely Molotov cocktails, to the game! So you will now be able to quickly craft a cocktail and throw it at any player, structure, or object to immediately light it up. The new potion has a unique texture and can be crafted only if you place items in the way shown in the screenshots below. It deals a great deal of damage to all surrounding mobs, players, and wooden buildings, as its effect lasts for about 10-15 seconds.

Review of the Throw Explosive Cocktails! Bottle o' Fire (Molotov) Data Pack

The developer of this pack has decided to diversify the gameplay of Minecraft and add a new type of potion with which it would be possible to inflict damage on players and mobs. However, even given that the main purpose of this potion is causing extra damage to the enemy in PvP, you will still have to finish it off with a bow or sword, as fire does not cause much damage. Indeed, it is more of a visual effect, bringing a bit of chaos, than an effective weapon against players.

To craft it, you will need the following ingredients: gunpowder, magma, coal, and a glass bottle. Place them in the order shown below, and you will get a green book. However, once you put it in the inventory or character's slots, it will turn into an orange liquid with a slightly modified appearance of the bottle, which does now not have a neck and differs from all other potions in Minecraft. Congratulations — the Molotov cocktail is ready-to-use.

How to use the Molotov cocktail in the game? It is enough to throw it into any area where you are going to inflict additional damage, and as soon as the potion touches the ground, the bottle will break, and fire will begin to spread. The total area will be about 10-15 blocks, and that is quite much, given that one bottle is so easy-to-craft. Unfortunately, it will always have a look of the green book and transform only after you put the potion in the character's inventory.

Another drawback of this data pack is that you cannot stack potions. However, you can always install special mods that allow you to change the game mechanics in a couple of clicks and make new stacks, which is very convenient. The Throw Explosive Cocktails Bottle o' Fire (Molotov) data pack will allow you to instantly demolish structures by simply throwing cocktails at them. Indeed, the fire area caused by a large number of potions will be very large, and it will be impossible to extinguish the flame. So if you throw several bottles at an inhabited village, it will burn to the ground in a matter of minutes without the slightest chance of survival.

If we compare the mechanics of spreading fire with lightning, fireballs, and fire arrows, it is, in many respects, more elaborate. So we now have an interesting and effective new potion in Minecraft, which not only helps you in battles against players or mobs but also creates chaos and complements the gameplay with effects. The data pack has to be installed for each map separately, so if you use a lot of saves, you will have to add this mod to each of them to make it work. The crafting recipe is only one, and you can create a full inventory of potions, but they will still be unstackable by default.

Does it make sense to install this data pack? Of course, it does. It will diversify the gameplay of Minecraft and add a new potion type — not a standard one, though, but with a unique and useful effect. In PvP arenas and during mass battles, such liquids will help you and cause additional damage, and if you shoot videos for YouTube, they will feature cool effects. So be sure to download and install it. Besides, you may also like other data packs, as in recent years, they have been one of the most popular categories of Minecraft mods, allowing you to customize the game as you see fit.
