Identify Lingering Potions at a Glance

Visual Markers for Lingering Potions

Lingering Potions—the variant that creates a cloud of effect when thrown—have two key visual differences in this pack:

• The bottle is tilted at an angle like splash potions
• The cork is removed, leaving the top open

Why the Design Matters

Lingering Potions behave differently from splash potions. They create an area-of-effect cloud that persists for a short time, affecting anything that walks through it. The open-top design signals this unique behavior immediately.

Spotting Them in Combat

When you're in the heat of battle and need to choose between a splash and lingering variant, the missing cork is your quick identifier. Splash potions have sealed tops; lingering potions are open. This prevents accidental throws of the wrong type.

Added Visual Effects

Lingering Potions also display added particles around the bottle, reinforcing their special status. Combined with the open top and tilt angle, lingering potions are unmistakable in your inventory or hotbar.
