Longer Strength II Potions
by Napad
Longer Strength II Potions extends how long a level 2 strength potion stays active, raising the duration to 8 minutes on servers that run it.
What it does
Level 2 strength potions last 8 minutes rather than the default length. The change is applied on the server, so every player on a server that runs it gets the longer duration. The author describes it as inspired by a Lifesteal server setup where Strength II splash potions last 8 minutes.
The mod is a server mod: a server needs it, while players may add it to their own game but do not have to. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack build is also available for servers that cannot run a mod loader. The latest file targets 26.3, and builds cover game versions 1.21 – 26.3 across 17 release versions. The license is the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is not open source.
The author notes that potions in the brewing stand may still show the old duration in the item tooltip, and that a fix is planned. Installation on a server is done by placing the mod file in the mods folder and the data pack in the datapacks folder of the world.

This mechanic was inspired by Lifesteal World, where Strength II splash potions would last 8 minutes The potions will look 1.5 minutes when they have been brewed and are still in the brewing stand, but they will work as intended as soon as they enter a player's inventory.
