How to Use the Bonus Icons for Special Items Like Golden Apples and Pufferfish

What the Bonus Icons Cover

Beyond potions and arrows, this pack adds icons to a few special items so they're easier to spot: the Bottle o' Enchanting, pufferfish, and golden apple. These items don't have a potion effect in the traditional sense, but the icons give them a clearer, more informative look.

Using Them in Practice

1. Golden apples — the icon makes them stand out in a crowded inventory, so you can grab one fast during a fight or a dangerous fall.

2. Pufferfish — useful for brewing Water Breathing potions and as a food source with drawbacks; the icon helps you avoid eating one by mistake.

3. Bottle o' Enchanting — the icon distinguishes it from empty bottles and other glass items, which all look similar otherwise.

Steps to Take Advantage

  • Move these items to a dedicated hotbar slot or chest section.
  • Use the icon to confirm you're holding the right item before using it.
  • When brewing, keep pufferfish near your brewing stand and rely on the icon to grab it quickly.

Combining With Potion Sorting

Since these items share the visual language of the potion icons, you can store them alongside your potions without confusion. The consistent icon style means your whole consumables chest reads the same way.
