Monitor Potion Duration in PvP or Boss Fights

Keep Track of Buff Timing

In intense combat situations, knowing exactly when your buffs expire is critical. The Potion Bar Mod displays remaining time as a visual progress bar, so you can see at a glance whether your Strength, Speed, or Resistance is about to run out.

Enable the Numeric Timer

For maximum precision, activate the countdown timer:

1. Type /potionbar timer on

2. The timer will display seconds remaining next to each potion icon

3. Position it where you can see it easily during combat with /potionbar timer [left/right/above/below]

Optimize Your Display for Combat

Arrange your bars so they're visible without blocking important information:

1. Use /potionbar position custom to open the editor

2. Drag bars to a corner or edge of your screen

3. Keep them away from your hotbar and health display

4. Test your setup in a safe area before heading into battle

With clear visibility of your effect durations, you can time re-doses perfectly and maintain your advantage throughout the fight.
