Natural occurrence

[edit | edit source]

During ominous trials, each ominous trial spawner has an equal chance to randomly dispense one of these lingering potions on top of either a player or a mob it spawns:

These lingering potions are directly dispensed into the world and cannot be obtained in the inventory.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Creating area effect clouds

[edit | edit source]
Area Effect Cloud
Hitbox size Height: 0.5 blocks
Width: Varies
{
 "title": "Area Effect Cloud",
 "rows": [
 {
 "field": "Height: 0.5 blocks<br>Width: Varies",
 "label": "(link to Hitbox article, displayed as Hitbox size)"
 }
 ],
 "invimages": [],
 "images": [
 "Area Effect Cloud.png"
 ]
}

Lingering potions are thrown, like splash potions, by using them. On impact they break, and after a second they create a lingering cloud with their effect. The cloud is made of the potion particles corresponding to the potion that was thrown. Unlike splash potions, lingering potions do not activate their effect immediately on impact.

The cloud starts with a radius of 3 blocks, decreasing to 0 over the course of 30 seconds. During the cloud's existence, any player or mob that walks into it after the first second gets the corresponding status effect; this decreases the radius by a 12 block immediately, reducing the cloud's lifespan by 5 seconds.

For effects with duration, the duration applied by the cloud is 14 that of the corresponding potion. For effects without duration such as healing or harming, the potency of the effect is 12 that of the corresponding potion.

The effect may be applied consecutively if the player or mob remains in the cloud. For example, a player throwing the Lingering Potion of Healing II straight down consumes the cloud within a few seconds while being healed 5 times for a total of 20HP👁 ❤️
× 10
health. As far as healing is concerned, this makes the lingering potion much more powerful than the regular or splash potion, provided that the player is away from other mobs or players.

Lingering potions can also be thrown out of dispensers like splash potions.

In Java Edition, creepers with potion effects will explode with their effect dropped as if a lingering potion was thrown.

Lingering water bottle

[edit | edit source]

Like the splash water bottle, a lingering water bottle puts out fire, damages endermen, blazes, striders, and snow golems by 1HP👁 💔
, and restores 1800 game ticks (90 seconds) of air to axolotls. In Java Edition, it creates no effect cloud, while in Bedrock Edition it creates an effect cloud that extinguishes burning entities that walk into it. In Bedrock Edition, a lingering awkward, mundane, or thick potion acts similar to the lingering water bottle, being able to extinguish burning entities and damage endermen, blazes, and snow golems, but without the ability to put out fires.

Lingering water bottles can be used on dirt, coarse dirt, or rooted dirt to turn it into mud.[1]

Arrows of Decay are exclusive to Bedrock Edition unless obtained via commands. Arrows of Luck are exclusive to Java Edition. A custom potion obtained via commands cannot craft arrows with the potion's custom name, lore, or the CustomPotionColor.

Filling cauldrons

[edit | edit source]

In Bedrock Edition, using a lingering potion on a cauldron adds one level of that potion to the cauldron. Attempting to add a lingering potion to a cauldron with water, dyed water or a non-matching potion empties the cauldron and creates an explosion sound (but no actual explosion).

Uncraftable lingering potion

[edit | edit source]

In Java Edition, the uncraftable lingering potion is a lingering potion with no effect that is unobtainable in survival mode. It is also available in potion and splash potion forms, as well as for tipped arrows.

It can be obtained using the following command: /give @s minecraft:lingering_potion. It is also obtained when a lingering potion has invalid or missing potion effect tags, and thus serves as a placeholder.

Motion

[edit | edit source]

Thrown by player

[edit | edit source]

When thrown by a player, a lingering potion has an initial speed of about 0.5 blocks/tick with a slight initial pitch angle deflection of –20°. Its movement follows the ticking order of acceleration, drag, and position, which can be simulated to predict the overall trajectory. Below is a calculator to predict the initial conditions in order to hit a desired coordinate:

Thrown lingering potion properties
Drag-H 0.99 Gravity -0.05 m/tick2
Drag-Y

0.99

Ticking order 6
Launch angle calculator[calcnote 1]
Given a target coordinate and an initial speed, calculate the thrown lingering potion launch angle to hit the target. Target is hit after ticks.
X 0.0 – 2 Yaw deg
Y 1.62 – 2 Pitch

degUnreachable
1 Direct hit

Z 0 – 2 Speed 0.5 m/tick
  1. Yaw and pitch follow the Minecraft's convention, thus zero yaw is directed at +Z (south) and looking upwards corresponds to negative values of pitch.

Shot by dispenser

[edit | edit source]

Lingering potions shot by dispensers behave in the exact manner as when they were thrown by a player, with the only difference in their initial conditions. The initial position of lingering potions when shot by a dispenser offsets exactly 0.7 blocks forward and 0.1 blocks higher from the center of the block. Their initial speed is slightly randomized, which averages to about 1.375 block/tick.

Collisions

[edit | edit source]

Thrown lingering potions collide with blocks according to their collision box. They also collide with entities, but with the entities' collision box inflated to about 0.3 blocks in every direction. They collide with all living entities, including minecarts, boats, end crystals, falling blocks, and TNT.

Custom effects

[edit | edit source]

In Java Edition, lingering potions can be obtained with any status effect using /give and the potion_contents data component.

Sounds

[edit | edit source]

Java Edition:
Lingering potions use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

See also: Chunk format

The cloud that is created when: lingering potions are thrown; creepers with potion effects explode; dragon fireballs hit the ground, is an entity, which has entity data that defines the properties of the entity.

  • [NBT Compound / JSON Object] Entity data
    • Tags common to all entities see Template:Nbt inherit/entity/template
    • [Int] Age: Age of the field. Increases by 1 every tick. When this is bigger than Duration + WaitTime the area effect cloud dissipates.
    • [Int] Color: The color of the displayed particle. Uses the same format as the color tag from Display Properties.
    • [Int] Duration: The maximum age of the field after WaitTime.
    • [Int] DurationOnUse: The amount the duration of the field changes upon applying the effect.
    • [String][NBT Compound / JSON Object] potion_contents: The potion and custom effects contained in this area effect cloud. Represents the minecraft:potion_contents component. If set to a string, it is converted to a compound, with the string corresponding to [String] potion.
    • [Int Array] Owner: The UUID of the entity who created the cloud, stored as four ints. Is not preserved when removed.
    • [NBT Compound / JSON Object] custom_particle: The particle displayed by the field.
    • [Float] potion_duration_scale: The duration of the potion effect applied is scaled by this factor. (defaults to 1.0). Area Effect Clouds created by Lingering Potions will have a scale of 0.25. Represents the minecraft:potion_duration_scale component.
    • [Float] Radius: The field's radius.
    • [Float] RadiusOnUse: The amount the radius changes upon applying the effect. Normally negative.
    • [Float] RadiusPerTick: The amount the radius changes per tick. Normally negative.
    • [Int] ReapplicationDelay: The number of ticks before reapplying the effect.
    • [Int] WaitTime: The time before deploying the field. The Radius is ignored, meaning that any specified effects is not applied and specified particles appear only at the center of the field, until Age hits this number.
