Usage

A bottle o' enchanting can be thrown by pressing use. On impact, it destroys itself and drops experience orbs worth 3–11XP (average 7.0) and sends out blue particles. Bottles o' enchanting can be used to increase the player's level for enchanting, using an anvil, or repairing tools and armor enchanted with Mending.

Bottles o' enchanting have an enchantment glint like enchanted items do.

↑ Yaw and pitch follow Minecraft's convention, thus zero yaw is directed at +Z (south) and looking upwards corresponds to negative values of pitch.
