Comparing Potion Appearance Before and After the Mod

What Changed

In Minecraft 1.19.4 and later versions without this mod, potion bottles appear as flat, static textures with no animation. The enchantment glint—that characteristic shimmering rainbow effect—was completely removed by Mojang.

With the Mod Installed

Potion bottles now display the animated enchantment glint effect that was present in older game versions. This creates a dynamic, sparkling appearance that makes potions feel more magical and visually distinct from regular items.

Visual Impact

  • Without mod: Potions look plain and unanimated, similar to regular items
  • With mod: Potions have a continuous rainbow shimmer that cycles across the bottle surface

Why This Matters

Many players prefer the older aesthetic because:

1. The glint makes potions immediately recognizable in inventories

2. It adds visual polish and makes potions feel more valuable

3. It restores the classic Minecraft potion appearance that long-time players remember

The mod simply reverts the visual change without affecting potion mechanics, effects, or brewing recipes.
