About

Potions are drinkable consumables that apply status effects to the player who consumes them. Each potion grants a specific benefit or debuff, such as healing, speed, strength, or invisibility, for a limited duration. Because potions do not stack, distributing them to players requires individual /give commands or inventory management.

Admins use potions to reward players, set up challenge arenas with specific effects, or test game mechanics. The item ID minecraft:potion is used in commands and datapacks; the numerical ID 373 is retained for legacy system compatibility.
