About the mod

Bottled Air is a mod which enables another way to remain under the water for longer. Aside from potions and conduits, you can now gulp air out of an empty glass bottle. Which is done by just right-clicking an empty bottle while swimming, when the air bubble bar is visible. This will by default refill half of the player's air bubbles.

To prevent your inventory from getting completely filled with water bottles during this process, you can hold one of the fire-type items in your offhand. The current fire-type blocks are Campfires, fire charges, lava buckets and magma blocks. When holding one of these blocks, the newly created water bottle will evaporate and you'll get the glass bottle back. By default there is a 50% chance that the glass bottle breaks in this process. Go explore that underwater world!

Frequently Asked Questions

Bottled Air server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Bottled Air compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Bottled Air officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Bottled Air – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Bottled Air consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
