Droppable Potions
by dannytaylor
Droppable Potions changes what happens when a player uses a potion, so that it is placed on the ground instead of being thrown.
What it does
Normally a potion is thrown and shatters on impact. With this mod, a potion is dropped onto the ground as an item entity. Splash and lingering potions that land on the ground still produce their splash or lingering effect, so the cloud appears where the potion came to rest. The mod keeps potions from being thrown at all, and it stops splash and lingering potions from being thrown in the usual way.
The thrower of a dropped potion is tracked by its UUID, and the item entity is not linked to the potion that bounces before it splashes. This lets the mod handle the drop cleanly on both client and server. The mod runs on Fabric for version 26.1, and it needs both the server and every player to install it, since the environment is client and server. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Droppable Potions is published only for Fabric, with one file for 26.1, the single game version it supports. Its source code and issue tracker are public, which makes it simple to check how drops and splash effects are handled.
Key features
Potions dropped, not thrown
A potion is placed on the ground as an item entity instead of flying through the air.
Splash effects on landing
Splash and lingering potions that hit the ground still produce their effect where they rest.
Thrower tracked by UUID
The item entity records the thrower's UUID, so the dropped potion stays associated with its owner.
Bounce before splashing
A dropped potion can bounce before it splashes, rather than shattering at the moment it leaves the hand.
Compatibility

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want potions to be dropped rather than thrown, usually in a survival or novelty server that runs Fabric 26.1.
How it compares
Potion of Levitation is server-side and needs the server to run it, while the client may leave it out, and its files cover Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 26.3. Infestation Potion Mod runs on both client and server, is MIT licensed and covers Fabric builds for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, while Droppable Potions targets only 26.1. Cocktails is an open source server-side only mod for Fabric builds 1.21.8 – 1.21.10, so it differs from this mod in both environment and version range.
