About

The Harming Potion is a drinkable potion that damages the entity that consumes it. It does not stack in inventory, so each potion occupies its own slot.

Spawn or distribute it with the /give command using the NBT tag syntax minecraft:potion{Potion:harming}. This potion has no numeric item ID in modern Minecraft versions, use the namespaced identifier and NBT data instead. It is useful for setting up damage scenarios in maps or testing damage mechanics.
