Bottles Begone
by joshieman
Bottles Begone removes splash potions from NeoForge 1.21.1 worlds, so effect potions are thrown only by right-click and the splash item no longer exists in play.
What it does
Splash potions are taken out of the game entirely. Effect potions that would have been splash potions become throwable through a right-click action instead, and the creative menu, JEI and REI no longer list splash potion brewing recipes. Drinkable potions keep their normal use.
Two item tags control the behavior. Items in bottlesbegone:keep stay drinkable even when they carry effects, and bottlesbegone:throwable sets the base recipe that is used instead of the splash item. Potions with effects that are thrown instead of drunk follow the throwable path, while effectless potions made from water bases still drink normally.
The splash item still exists in the registry, so worlds created before the change keep their existing splash potions and witches keep working as they did. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file dated 2026-08-01. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

How it compares
Potion Cooldown is client and server, open source under the MIT License, and published for Fabric and NeoForge on 1.21.1, which makes it a different kind of potion mod rather than a splash-removal one. Splash Ominous is server required with client optional, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and covers Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21 – 1.21.8. The Splash Milk is client and server and open source under the MIT License, with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt files for 1.16.5 – 26.2.

What the author says
Potions with effects throw instead of being drunk. Effectless potions (water and the brewing bases) drink normally. Splash potions are removed from the creative menu, JEI, REI, and brewing recipes. The item still exists in the registry, so old worlds and witches keep working.
