Title: Change water bottles to contain 250mB of liquid

Looking at Vanilla, it should be a volume of 333mB, since one bucket of water placed in a cauldron equals 3 bottles of water.

I personally would suggest 250mB, since that's easier to work with. 4 bottles would be exactly one bucket. And the cauldron isn't a full block anyway so let's just say some of the water is lost when pouring it in.

I don't think this affects mods using bottles in a negative way at all. There shouldn't be a reason not to change it now, to set a sort of standard. Most mod bottles that are meant to store the liquid (thinking of creosote), can be stacked like vanilla ones, so one stack of 64 could hold up to 16 buckets worth of liquid. Not to mention mod bottles could contain any amount of liquid they want, this is only water bottles.
