Talk:Lingering Potion

Should page be titled "Lingering Potion"? (Capital P) it is after all "Splash Potion" –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Cultist O (talk • contribs) at 17:26, 12 August 2015‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Yes, I have no idea how to change that though PancakeIdentity (talk) 18:01, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Let's just merge it with Splash Potion. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by NeutralGuy (talk • contribs) at 21:22, 12 August 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Seeing as splash potion has it's own page, this should also have its own page. PancakeIdentity (talk) 00:58, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

It needs to be merged because it functions in a very similar manner to the Splash potion. Throw it, affects entities within it's range, etc. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Neutral Guy (talk • contribs) at 20:50, 19 August 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Why was the unfinished chart with the different potions removed? PancakeIdentity (talk) 05:08, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

As the edit summary mentioned, "remove useless section repeating data from Potion in favor of describing the simple calculations to determine the effect." - essentially it is basically a repeat of the Potion page. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk

^ That. I removed the same section from Splash Potion because there it was actively wrong: it pretended the effects were ³⁄₄ when it seems (as far as I can tell) to have always been decreasing from full-strength for a direct hit to nothing at 4 blocks away. Here the situation isn't as complex, but there's still no point to duplicating the table from Potion here with times divided by 4 or potencies divided by 2 (and then having to keep all the tables up to date whenever something changes) when we can just say that in two sentences and refer to the one table on Potion.

Okay. I see PancakeIdentity (talk) 13:45, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Is this article still a stub? PancakeIdentity (talk) 14:03, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Does it reset if you walk out of the cloud?

Please add the creeper link and the Java Edition link where it states that exploding creepers with effect will drop the potion effect as lingering in Java Edition. Hjnjn (talk) 09:02, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Those seem like helpful links, so 👁 Image

In the crafting ingredient section, I would like for there to be an additional note saying that the lingering water bottles and lingering awkward, mundane, and thick potions cannot be used for tipped arrows in Bedrock edition, but unfortunately editing the Crafting module is too confusing for me so I would like to ask someone more experienced than me to add that in for me.

Yes. The firework rocket (0.5000099999997474) is of double type, whilst the uncertainty is of float type. --MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 02:56, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

They're saying that the number is not actually 0.500nonsense, that's just a misrepresentation due to how floating point numbers are stored. I'm not sure what the proper number should be, it looks like 0.5 would be less precise given how many digits double can have.  Nixinova  T ⁄ C  03:03, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

I mean, floating point arithmetic can be weird sometimes, but if that's the actual value of the double, that's what we should document. --MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 03:05, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
