CloseQuartersConcoctions
Players who want to hit others with thrown potions can use CloseQuartersConcoctions, a Fabric and Quilt mod for 1.18.1 – 1.19.2 that lets them smash bottles over other players.
What it does
Bottles can be smashed directly over another player's head, which turns a splash potion into a melee action. The author describes splash potion use as unreliable: a throw sometimes misses the target and sometimes hits something extra. CloseQuartersConcoctions is the mod that handles this close-range smashing. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt across three game versions, 1.18.1, 1.18.2 and 1.19.2, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Direct bottle smashing
