Potion Slimes
Potion Slimes turns brewed potions into living allies, so a slime can fight, inherit and inflict the effects of the potion it was made with.
What it does
Players throw a slime potion at a mob, and the struck entity becomes the target for nearby slimes, which keep pursuing that same entity for as long as it lives. Once a basic Potion Slime has absorbed sufficient damage, it breaks apart into four smaller slimes that keep the same effect at reduced health and attack strength. Once tamed, a Potion Slime defends its owner like a pet.
Potion Slimes is a Magic mod for Forge and NeoForge, built for 1.20.1 only. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is under the MIT License, but the mod is not open source, and files for both loaders are dated 2026-07-14, the latest file.
Key features
Brewed potion effects
A slime keeps the effect of the potion it was brewed with, so a healing or harming brew gives the slime that effect in combat.
Targeted pursuit
After a potion hits an entity, nearby slimes switch to that entity and keep attacking it until it is gone.
Splitting slimes
Enough damage makes a basic Potion Slime divide into four smaller slimes that share its effect.
Taming and pets
A player can tame a Potion Slime, which then follows and defends its owner as a pet would.
Timed effects
Brewed potions usually last only an instant, but a slime made from a potion lasts about 25 seconds before it despawns.

How it compares
Potions, Potions And More Potions is a Forge-only mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 with the same client and server environment, under All rights reserved and not open source. Combat Roll Potions covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, and Potion of Bees is open source under the MIT License on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1. Potion Slimes differs from these by making slimes the carrier of the potion effect rather than changing the potions themselves.
