Potions & Such
Potions & Such adds explosive and spectral arrows, new potion effects, stackable potions and a monster called the Alchemist to Minecraft's alchemy and archery.
What it does
The mod changes how potions and arrows work in alchemy and archery. Potions gain new effects such as one that halts natural regeneration, one that pulls nearby entities toward the affected entity, and one that pushes them away. Some effects speed up crop growth and fire spread around the drinker, and an Ender Pearl combined with an Awkward Potion produces a Recalling potion that teleports the drinker back to their spawnpoint when the effect runs out. Potions become stackable, and random potions can be found in loot chests across the world.
A fletching table gains three new arrow types. Tipped Spectral Arrows take the effect of any potion and make the hit entity glow, while Tipped Explosive Arrows affect entities within the explosion radius in the same way a splash potion does. Explosive Arrows are made with gunpowder and cause a small explosion on impact that damages and pushes nearby entities. A new Alchemist monster spawns on the surface during full moons and rarely in caves; it throws lingering potions and drops a random potion when defeated. The Pouch of Pandora's Potion is listed under a new Items tab.
The mod is published for Fabric only, on 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 2.0.7 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. It is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Potions & Such aims to improve alchemy and archery by adding new effects, making potions more viable and adding a use to the fletching table as well as new arrow types. Another issue with potions in vanilla is how time-consuming they are to obtain. By the time you can brew potions you have basically no need for them…
