About this project

What does Distinct Potions add?

Distinct Potions makes potions easier to recognize at a glance. 🧪 With clearer visuals, unique bottle styles, and improved naming, you can finally tell your potions apart without hovering over every single one.

Built for both vanilla and modded content, it helps brewing, storage, and inventory management feel cleaner and more intuitive. ✨

  • 🏷️ Clear Potion Names: Potion names directly highlight whether they are greater, extended, or lesser.
  • 🍾 Unique Potion Bottles: Greater and extended potions use distinct bottle appearances for easier visual recognition.
  • 🧪 Distinct Base Potions: Awkward, mundane, and thick potions gain their own unique colors to stand apart from water bottles.
  • ⚙️ Highly Configurable: Potion categories are fully customizable and support both vanilla and modded potions through flexible matching rules and tags.

⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT

⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)

⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric).

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.

🌟 Big thanks to AaronBlader12 and their Potion Visual Revamp suggestion on the Minecraft Forum, which some parts of this mod are based on.
