Classic Potion+
by GubiFN69
Classic Potion+ restores the older look of Minecraft potions, bringing back the classic potion designs while keeping the mod compatible with modern builds.
What it does
Potions in the game are redrawn to match the classic design players knew earlier. The look is kept close to the original, so a bottle's color and shape read the way they did before the newer art took over. Only the visuals change; the potions themselves keep working as they do in the current game.
The mod suits anyone who misses the earlier potion art and wants that style back in a modern world. It is lightweight and simple, and it is updated and optimized for 1.21.11 and later builds. Files are published for Fabric alone, with version 1.0 for 26.2 as the latest file, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
Only the client needs the mod, so players install it and servers can run without it. Source code is public and the mod is published across 5 release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.2.

Use cases
Nostalgic play
Players who remember the earlier potion art can use the mod to see the old designs again in a modern world.
Who it’s for: Players who want the classic potion visuals of earlier Minecraft releases. Because only the client needs the mod, it suits single-player worlds and multiplayer players who want the look on their own game without asking the server to change.
How it compares
Classic Potion+ is client-side only, while BackToClassics is a client and server mod with all rights reserved and a file for 1.21.8 alone. Auto Potion is server-side only with all rights reserved and covers 1.21.10 – 26.1.2, so it changes behavior rather than visuals. Stackable Potions runs on client and server under the MIT License for 1.21 – 26.1, and it is open source.
