How to Craft Empty Potion Bottles in Hytale

What to know

• Only proper ocean sand can be used, not river or rubble sand
• Empty Potion Bottles are made directly by smelting sand
• A furnace is the only station required
• Bottles are required for all potion crafting

In Hytale, alchemy starts earlier than most players expect. Before you can brew any potion, including basic healing brews, you’ll need Empty Potion Bottles. While the recipe is simple, the game is strict about the type of sand you use.

Where to find the correct sand for Potion Bottles

Not all sand works for potion bottles.

You must collect sand from oceanfront sandy areas. This sand is labeled simply as Sand. Sandstone rubble, river sand, or broken terrain blocks will not smelt into bottles and will fail to work in the furnace.

Ocean beaches are the most reliable source and usually easy to identify early in the game. You can also farm sand in the Howling Desert area of the Hytale world.

How to craft Empty Potion Bottles in Hytale

Step 1: Locate oceanfront sand

Travel to an ocean biome and look for flat, light-colored sandy terrain. Mine the blocks labeled as standard sand.

Step 2: Place sand into a furnace

Return to your base and interact with your furnace. Open the furnace interface and place the collected sand into the input slot.

Step 3: Smelt the sand

Activate the furnace using any valid fuel. The sand will begin smelting immediately.

Step 4: Collect your Empty Potion Bottle

Once smelting completes, the sand converts directly into an Empty Potion Bottle. No additional crafting steps are required.

Use of Empty Potion Bottles in Hytale

• Empty Potion Bottles are required for potion crafting and serve as the container for every potion.
• They are necessary for alchemy progression because all brewing at the Alchemist’s Workbench requires them.
• Empty Potion Bottles support resource planning and should be stockpiled early to prevent interruptions.
• Bottles are consumed during potion crafting, so producing them in batches is more efficient than crafting them individually.

Tips for crafting Empty Potion Bottles

• Avoid using river sand or rubble instead of proper ocean sand, as they cannot be smelted into glass.
• Do not smelt sandstone blocks instead of sand, because sandstone does not produce glass.
• Crafting too few bottles leads to repeated furnace runs and unnecessary delays.
