Unusual potions

Five new potions let a player change the sky: skipping the night to the next sunrise or sunset, clearing the weather, or calling down rain or a thunderstorm. Time moves forward only, so a day counter keeps growing, unlike the vanilla set-time command that resets nothing either way. A shared cooldown spans all five potions, which stops rapid switching between day and night. Copper can be used as an upgrade ingredient that draws lightning or turns a rain potion into a storm potion, rather than a separate brew.

The effect applies to the whole world, not only to the drinker, and it works in any dimension, so a server owner should weigh that before players start brewing. The Nether and the End say no, and drinking is refused when the sun is moving or the sky is open, with the bottle wasted once the animation has started. Empty glass bottles stack to 16 and cost nothing in Creative mode. Vanilla brewing recipes using the same ingredient are overridden, and commands, cheats and Creative mode can bypass the brewing stand for the right ingredient.
