Further Information

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to the End
2. Right click in the air with a glass bottle
3. Observe nothing happens
4. Right click on a piece of end stone
5. Observe you obtain end air

It's notable that this was only tested in the Galaxy-Craft Lite modpack, and not with Botania alone.

What I expected to happen:
Step 2 should produce end air, as the lexica entry states.

What happened instead:
Only step 4 produces end air.

I believe this is implemented this way (and it's been this way for a long time, it's not a recent change) in order to prevent a conflict with the gathering of Dragon's Breath.

I think this actually causes a partial conflict with gathering dragon's breath, as sometimes when right clicking the breath, I grab the actual breath, but most of the time I just get end air.

In any case, if this is the intended behavior, the lexica entry should be updated so people know how to get end air.

Grabbing dragon's breath works by standing in a certain range around the area effect cloud entity's bounding box. The new ender air behavior uses basically the same check, but inverted and with a bit wider range, giving you a small deadzone if you get close to the cloud. Old behavior is literally just "if you right clicked a block, it makes ender air".

Clicking on breath doesn't make any difference, the player position is what matters. Anyways, if this is a problem, we could extend the deadzone around dragon's breath clouds, but this behavior is definitely an improvement over the old unclear one.

Ah, which version of Botania was that implemented in? I'm running r1.10-363 on MC 1.12.2, and the old method sounds a lot more like what I'm experiencing.

r1.15-383 for 1.15, released yesterday. The closing thing was a commit changing this behavior. I didn't even notice that you were on 1.12 :P (which we don't really support anymore, sorry for no backport)

Damn, alright. Thanks for letting me know! I'll backport the commit myself when I have time. The commit in question: 52c27fc

I made a PR #3300 which backports your fix to 1.12.2. Tested and working on a SP world.
