Potion Warning
by StillLutto
Potion Warning, a Fabric utility, tells the player when a chosen potion effect is about to end, so a timed buff does not expire unnoticed.
What it does
The mod watches the status effects on the player and shows a text notice when a selected effect runs out. Which effects are watched can be chosen in the settings, so a player can be warned about one effect and ignore the rest. Support for custom status effects added by other mods is included, so modded effects can be selected as well as the vanilla ones.
The notice text and its wording can be changed, and the mod can be turned on or off without removing it. Settings are reachable through Mod Menu, which is an optional dependency, and the settings screen is built with Cloth Config API. The mod is client-side only and needs no installation on a server, so it works on single-player worlds and on multiplayer servers alike.
Potion Warning is published for Fabric only, in a single game version: 1.20.1. Its most recent build was released on 2024-06-23. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the issue tracker and source code are public.
Key features
Effect expiry warning
A text message appears on screen when a watched potion effect runs out, giving the player time to react.
Choose which effects are watched
Only the effects a player selects trigger a warning, so unrelated effects stay quiet.
Configurable display text
The full text of each warning can be edited, so the message can match the player's own wording.
Custom status effect support
Status effects added by other mods can be included in the watched list alongside vanilla effects.
Enable and disable switch
The warnings can be turned off and on from the settings without uninstalling the mod.

How it compares
Creeper Warning is a Fabric client-side mod released under the MIT License, covering 1.20.4 – 1.20.6, so it targets different versions from Potion Warning. Effects Rebalancer is a Fabric mod with the client and server environment, under the MIT License, for 1.20.1, so it needs installing on both sides where Potion Warning does not. Both alternatives are open source.
