I have been wondering lately, since milk's main roll has long changed from a cake ingredient to a neutralizer of potions and poisons, why not change the current way milk is used to better suit this fact.
I suggest making a few small changes. First, remove the bucket's ability to hold milk, and give it to the glass bottle. This makes it more in line with the potions and poisons. It would work the same as the bucket of milk, right click to drink, and of course a bottle of milk would replace a bucket of milk in the cake recipe.
The other change, which is the more important reason for the change to the bottle, is brewing. Nothing advanced, milk bottles could only be brewed with gunpowder, to make splash potions. You could use these much like positive splash potions, by throwing them at your feet to quickly administer it while running away, to quickly remove any poisons or negative effects (but also any positives that you may have given yourself). Secondly, it could be used in PvP to quickly debuff any opponents who have administered potions themselves. (Although this is also a double edged sword, as it would remove any negative effects he/she had as well.)
I guess this is ok, but the milk bucket is for cakes since alpha, I don't want that gone. Other than that, support.
I've seen people post this in other places where I have put forward the idea, and have come up with a compromise. Cows must still be milked with a bucket, and buckets are still needed to craft cake. However, you can no longer drink from the bucket. Instead, I've thought of this crafting recipe.The placement of the items wouldn't matter, so long as they're in a 2x2 square, and you would get the bucket back, like with cake.The milk bottle would act indentically to the ones in the OP.
I don't see why we need the Milk Bucket at all anymore if this was added. Milk is infinite and simple to acquire and you get the empty buckets back when crafting it. So why not just change the three Buckets of Milk to Bottles of Milk and have you get those back?

That's what I'd prefer, as stated in the OP, but people seem quite affectionate towards milk buckets.

What do you think? Is it a good or bad idea?

If Milk Buckets are removed, how will I milk cows with a bottle? It can't be!
