Hey there guys! I've been thinking about enchanting bottles recently. They are by far one of the most popular items you can sponsor in the MCSG world. However, I've recently been seeing a lot of people complaining that they can't get a full level out of 2 enchant bottles. I've decided to conduct a test to figure out the best way to increase the amount of experience obtained from 2 bottles.

The Idea:
The basis of this test is quite simple. I will conduct 60 different trials. 20 throws at a wall, 20 throws at the ground, and 20 throws in the air. From this, I will gather how effective each method is in the form of a percent. I will measure each by how far away from one level the outcome is. There are 18 segments in the experience bar, so the 100% will be based on 18.

The Testing:
-At the ground
1. 15/18
2. 18/18
3. 14/18
4. 13/18
5. 14/18
6. 18/18
7. 15/18
8. 13/18
9. 11/18
10. 19/18

Total: 150/180 =83%

-At a wall
1. 15/18
2. 14/18
3. 14/18
4. 17/18
5. 12/18
6. 12/18
7. 14/18
8. 15/18
9. 16/18
10. 12/18

Total: 141/180 =78%

-In the air
1. 20/18
2. 15/18
3. 17/18
4. 13/18
5. 10/18
6. 16/18
7. 15/18
8. 10/18
9. 15/18
10. 12/18

Total: 131/180=73%

So it seems as though throwing enchant bottles at the ground is the best option.
I always though throwing it up in the air would be the best way. But this is science!

*Bonus: A few extra ways to get XP
