Brine Shrimp Jar

Quickstart

1. Obtain a water potion and craft a Brine Shrimp Jar with three wheat seeds and a nautilus shell.

1. Keep at least one additional wheat seed in your inventory.
2. Hold the jar and use it. One wheat seed is consumed and acclimation begins.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Use the jar again when it is ready. The jar opens and becomes an empty glass bottle.

You can also find the jar in the Creative inventory, or use:

Overview

The Brine Shrimp Jar is a single-use item for acclimating brine shrimp. Its process has three stages:

• Unstarted: The jar is ready to begin acclimation.
• Acclimating: After use, the jar requires 30 seconds of waiting.
• Ready to open: Use the jar again to open it.

Opening the jar consumes it and leaves an empty glass bottle in your hand.

What It Adds

• Brine Shrimp Jar — A non-stackable item used to start and complete the acclimation process.
• A short waiting interaction that requires one wheat seed.
• A ready-state interaction that converts the jar into an empty glass bottle.

How To Use

Start acclimation

Hold the Brine Shrimp Jar and use it. You must have at least one wheat seed in your inventory. The seed is consumed when acclimation starts.

A message confirms that acclimation has started and tells you to wait 30 seconds.

Check the timer

Using the jar again during acclimation does not restart the process. Instead, the remaining time is displayed when available. If the exact timer is not shown, a message confirms that the jar is still acclimating.

Open the jar

After 30 seconds, you receive a message that the brine shrimp are acclimated. Use the jar once more to open it.

The jar is replaced by one empty glass bottle, and a confirmation message appears.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the jar at a crafting table using:

• One water potion
• Three wheat seeds
• One nautilus shell

The crafting recipe unlocks after you obtain a water potion. The finished jar does not stack.

Starting acclimation requires one more wheat seed than the three used in the recipe, so gather an extra seed before using the jar.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Using the jar takes a few seconds and uses the drinking animation.
• The first successful use consumes one wheat seed and starts a 30-second acclimation period.
• The jar cannot be opened before acclimation finishes.
• The waiting period is tied to the player who started it.
• Once ready, the next use opens the jar.
• Opening always leaves an empty glass bottle in the selected hand.
• The jar has no food value and cannot be used when the required wheat seed is missing.

Progression And Strategy

Gather the nautilus shell, water potion, and three wheat seeds for crafting, then reserve one additional wheat seed for activation. Start acclimation in a safe location and keep the jar available in your hotbar so you can use it again when the 30-second wait is complete.
