Potion Blink
by NOT_Amey
Potion Blink warns a player on the hotbar side of the screen when a Strength effect is close to running out, so the potion can be renewed in time.
What it does
When a Strength potion effect nears its end, a blinking warning appears above the hotbar. The alert sits directly in the line of sight, which reduces the chance of missing the cue. The same warning also covers the potion's expiry in the form of a visual signal, so a player can plan the next drink before the buff drops. The mod is intended for moments where a lapse would cost something, such as PvP fights, boss encounters and adventure maps.
The warning is drawn in the interface and does not change gameplay, so the potion timing itself stays as the game sets it. Potion Blink is a lightweight Fabric mod that works with the normal Minecraft interface and keeps the look of the hotbar unchanged apart from the alert. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for Fabric only, across the ten game versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.10, with 1.0.0 as the latest beta file for 1.21.10, published on 2025-10-14.
