EasyPotion
by Swench
EasyPotion lets a player throw health potions quickly by assigning them to a chosen hotbar slot and switching to the next one automatically.
What it does
When a player throws a health potion, the mod can switch the selected slot to another potion, so the next throw needs no manual selection. The target slot is configurable, and the mod can move the potion stack into the last available slot among 8, 7 and 6 so it stays out of the way of other items.
Two modes control how slot selection behaves. Only Throw Mode skips slot logic entirely and switches purely by throwing. Randomize can pick a random potion slot instead of a fixed one. Players in PvP fights and survival worlds get an instant response from it, with no time lost to moving items between slots.
The mod runs on the client alone, so servers and other players do not need it. It is built for Fabric and requires Cloth Config API to load. EasyPotion is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code published, for 1.16.5 – 1.21.10.
Key features
Auto-switch after throwing
After a health potion is thrown, the selected slot moves to another potion so the next use is ready immediately.
Configurable target slot
Players choose which hotbar slot the potion switch targets, instead of relying on a fixed slot.
Only Throw Mode
A mode that switches purely on throwing, without any slot selection logic, for players who want pure auto-switching.
Randomize option
An option to pick a random potion slot for the switch, which can be turned off.
