Different Water Types in Bottles (Sea & Swamp)

The Suggestion:

I believe Minecraft is missing a seemingly obvious feature: Sea Water and Swamp Water in bottles. Currently, using a Glass Bottle on any water source always yields the same "Pure Water," which is illogical since not all water sources in the world should be pure.

I propose that the type of water collected in a Glass Bottle should depend on the biome:

  • If collected in a swamp, the water would be murky (Swamp Water).

  • If collected in an ocean, the water would be salty (Sea Water).

  • Water collected in rivers and lakes would remain Pure Water.

Potential Uses and Gameplay Impact:

  • Sea Water: Could be used, for example, to accelerate the oxidation of copper. Right-clicking a Copper Block with a Bottle of Sea Water should significantly speed up its patina formation process.

  • Swamp Water: Could be used in the Brewing Stand as an ingredient for brewing negative status-effect potions, such as those related to poisoning, making the brewing process more dynamic.

I believe this idea is viable and would add both logic and interesting new mechanics to the game.

    Fermented spider eye is already used in brewing to make most of the negative potion effects.

    Also, Minecraft isn't too concerned about logic either way, and we already have 4 bottles of water, 2 of which actually does nothing, and I'd even argue the third is redundant too.

    So I say no. We don't need more version of bottled water. I rather use those we already have.
