PotionAbilities
by ToCraft
PotionAbilities gives players potion effects they can take on as abilities, activated by pressing a key and applied to nearby mobs or to themselves.
What it does
Potion abilities are obtained by searching a jungle temple and swimming to the next temple, with the search distance set in the config. A player learns that an ability worked once the effect, such as blindness or confusion, shows up. Abilities are used by pressing R, and the potion icon appears in the lower-left corner of the screen. Looking at a mob and pressing the key applies the effect to that entity; otherwise the effect applies to the player. A used ability disappears and can be obtained again.
Client and server: the server and every player need the mod. The mod requires Architectury API, CraftedCore and Fabric API, and it works with woodwalkers. With woodwalkers, a player in a shaped form can still obtain potion abilities and use them, and the form applies abilities through the shape's own entity. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across seven release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.20.4.

What the author says
PotionAbilities is a very basic magic mod, which tries to integrate into vanilla and therefore uses vanilla-potion-effects as magical abilities. This mod allows you to unlock a random potion effect, you can apply on yourself or a nearby mob every time you want!
