Bottle o' Enchanting

The Bottle o' Enchanting is a very peculiar potion-like item added in the 12w04a snapshot: it takes on the form of a normal potion, but is thrown like a splash potion, and has no effect on mobs. On impact with any object (except for Air, Lava, and Water), it will drop experience orbs worth 3-11 experience points. Before trading, one would need to hack in some Bottles o' Enchanting into their inventory to use them in survival, and if such an action is performed, they still were wasted as a resource. Bottles o' Enchanting were called Experience Potions after 1.4

Despite not being brewable like normal potions, they can still be traded for. See Trading to learn more about that. However, before trading was introduced, these could only be found in the creative inventory or by use of the /give command in multiplayer (This was before the 1.3 release, there were no legitimate ways to use commands in single player).

Trivia

 * The Bottle o' Enchanting breaks on a variety of different surfaces and objects that may not be expected.
 * The Bottle o' Enchanting breaks if it hits a mob directly.
 * It will also break on blocks that players can pass through, such as active portals.
 * Even though the Bottle o' Enchanting is green, it gives off blue sparks, and glows purple (as an enchanted item does).
 * Throwing multiple Bottles o' Enchanting on the ground while flying and then falling will cause the screen to go green/yellow and play the experience sound for sometimes minutes at a time.
 * This can also happen if the player dies with a large amount of experience orbs because the XP flies around the player, making these lights.
 * Repetitively throwing Bottles o' Enchanting will drop a lot of experience on the ground, which can lead to a noticeable decrease in the FPS rates of players somewhere near the experience orbs. Thus, this can be used as a form of griefing. However, this would mean one must acquire many Bottles o' Enchanting, which may be difficult in survival mode.
 * When placed in a dispenser, the Bottle o' Enchanting is treated as a projectile and fired similarly to Arrows, Snowballs, or Fire Charges
