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 drank or thrown, these Potions can give the player or Mob a Status Effect.

Varieties
There are two types of Potions- normal and splash varieties:
 * With normal Potions, the player can drink the Potion to get a status effect for a certain duration of time. It will not affect any mob/player around the player, and the player will retain the empty bottle for further use.
 * With Splash Potions, the player will throw the Potion which will affect any player/mob within range of the splash, and the bottle will break upon hitting any mob or Block. When broken, it will give off certain "potion particles".

Modifiers
Some items that are used to modify potions:

Trivia

 * Witches,  which were added in  Update 0.14.0 .  also utilize Potions to attack players and heal themselves,
 * The Glowstone Potion modifier cancels out the Redstone Potion modifier and vice-versa.
 * Potion Effects (Status Effects) were added in 0.11.0, but only three of them could be obtained legitimately.
 * The rest of the potions 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.
 * Trying to put two different Potions into a Cauldron will make both Potions (including Water Bottles) disappear.
 * Bug: In Update 0.14.0, if the Player switches to another potion while drinking a potion, the potion which they were drinking changes into the potion which was tapped on.
 * This can be very useful for replacing un-needed potions with useful ones.
