Potions

Potions are items which were added in Update 0.12.1. They are created by combining various ingredients and Water Bottles in a Brewing Stand. When drunk or thrown, these potions can give the player or mob a Status Effect.

Varieties
There are two types of potions- normal and splash varieties:
 * In normal potions, the player can drink the potion to get a status effect. It will not affect any mob/player around the player, and the player will retain the empty bottle for further use.
 * In splash potions, the player has to throw the bottle which will affect any player/mob within range of the splash, and the bottle will break upon hitting any mob or block. There will also be Particles.

Modifiers
Some items can be used to modify potions:

Negative Potions
Adding a Fermented Spider Eye to potions will make a "Negative Potion". Some potions like Potion of Healing or Potion of Poison will make it the Potion of Harming, the Potion of Night Vision when mixed with a Fermented Spider Eye will make the Potion of Invisibility instead of a Blindness effect.

Trivia

 * Witches also utilize potions to attack players and heal themselves, but this has yet to be added to PE
 * Potions can only be obtained by killing a witch (while it is drinking a potion) or by brewing.
 * Potion effects (status effects) were added in 0.11.0, but potions themselves were added in Update 0.12.1.
 * A Splash Potion of Weakness and a Golden Apple are needed in order to cure a zombie villager.
