Potions Please
by Lare
Potions Please changes how long potion effects last on Fabric, with separate duration settings for regular, splash, lingering and tipped arrow potions.
What it does
Each potion type gets its own duration, set in a JSON config file whose keys match Minecraft's potion IDs. Four values per entry give the duration in ticks, and the config lets server owners stretch or shorten effects such as strength without touching the rest of the game. Removing the potion config turns off the duration logic entirely.
Splash, lingering and tipped arrow durations are configured separately, because vanilla applies only a fraction of a regular potion's time to them. Potions created through the give command, creative inventory or loot tables also take the modified durations, since the mod works at the item level. The example in the author text converts minutes of strength into ticks at 20 ticks per second.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and needs no other mods. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.5 and 1.21.6, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.6 as the latest release.
Key features
Per-type duration settings
Regular, splash, lingering and tipped arrow potions each have a duration entry in the config.
Potion IDs as config keys
Entries use Minecraft's own potion IDs, so each potion can be tuned individually.
Item-level duration changes
Potions from loot tables, villager trades and commands carry the modified duration.
Tick-based values
Durations are written in ticks, with minutes converted at 20 ticks per second.

This is because the mod is unable to inject the POTION_DURATION_SCALE Component to the items from those sources. The JSON keys match minecraft's potion IDs and the next 4 values define…
