The molotov cocktail is an incendiary weapon created from a bottle (filled with alcoholic fluid) and a block of wool. It is one of the items that can be placed on a bottle rack and thrown by players as an explosive projectile to deal damage and knockback to mobs and other players. It can be customised to deal different amounts of damage by varying the type and intensity of the alcoholic fluid used.


Obtaining

Crafting

To craft a molotov cocktail, start with a filled bottle of any type containing alcohol. To make stronger explosions and longer flying projectiles, it's recommended to use fluids that are either more distilled or more fermented, such as aged Wine, or Beer.

Note

The appearance of your molotov cocktail can be customised by using a differently-coloured bottle. This won't change anything about how it functions, but it will look different on your hotbar. Useful for telling them apart.

Ingredients Crafting Recipe
Any Wool Block + Corresponding colour of Bottle barrel

Usage

Combat

Throwing

The molotov cocktail can be thrown by holding the use button whilst the item is in your main hand. Throwing a molotov cocktail works similarly to firing a bow: Holding the key for longer will increase the speed and distance at which it will fly when you release the key.

Each use will consume one molotov cocktail, and the thrown projectile will then explode and set fire to the surrounding area when it lands. It's also possible to create "dud" molotov cocktails by using a fluid of insufficient alcohol content. These duds will not explode or deal damage to the surrounding areas when it lands.

Explosion Strength and Fire

The quality of a molotov cocktail (aka the explosion strength and fire amount) is determined by the alcohol content fluid placed inside it. Very low alcohol will create useless (dud) molotov cocktails, whilst increasingly more potent fluids can be used to create stronger and more powerful molotov cocktails.

The more powerful a molotov cocktail, the larger the explosion and fire spread when it is thrown. The quality is categorised into 8 distinct levels.

Quality Index Description Properties
0 Useless No explosion or fire. This is a "dud"
1 Horrible Small explosion, no fire
2 Bad Small explosion, very little fire
3 Decent Small explosion, some fire
4 Good Medium explosion, some fire
5 Excellent Large explosion, some fire
6 Perfect Large explosion, medium fire
7 Unreal Large explosion, lots of fire
