Wouldn’t it be great if you could trick your opponents into drinking harmful potions to bring about their own demise? Realistically that’s not likely to happen, which is where splash potions come in useful—they can be thrown at mobs or other players so that they’re forced into contact with the effect. Cunning!

Splash potions are a variant of potions that can be thrown.

Obtaining[edit]

Brewing[edit]

Main article: Brewing
Ingredients Brewing recipe
Gunpowder +
Any Potion



Splash potions are brewed by adding gunpowder to a normal potion.

Natural generation[edit]

One splash potion of weakness can be found in a brewing stand inside an igloo basement.

Filling bottles[edit]

Using a glass bottle on a cauldron that contains splash potion will turn it into a bottle of that splash potion.‌[Bedrock Edition only] Using a glass bottle on a cauldron also removes 1⁄3 of that cauldron's contents.

Usage[edit]

Brewing[edit]

Ingredients Brewing recipe
Dragon's Breath +
Any Splash Potion



Lingering potions are brewed by adding dragon's breath to a splash potion.

Using[edit]

Splash potions are thrown by using them. On impact they explode, applying status effects to nearby entities. The bottle is lost, unlike drinkable potions. Entities within an 8.25×8.25×4.25 cuboid centered on the thrown potion at impact and within 4 blocks euclidean distance of the thrown potion[n 1] at impact are affected.

The farther away the entity is from the center of the explosion, the lesser the imbued effect. For effects without duration i.e. Healing or Harming, the potency of the effect reduces linearly from 100% on a direct hit to 0% at 4 blocks' distance. For effects with duration, the effect has full potency but the duration decreases linearly on the same scale (rounded to the nearest 1⁄20 second), with no effect being applied if the duration would be 1 second or less. Throwing a potion at an entity's head will maximize the duration, compared to the feet.[verify]

Splash water bottles[edit]

Splash water bottles will have no effect on almost all entities, but will put out fire in the block hit and the four blocks horizontally surrounding it.

A splash water bottle will deal 1 (Half Heart.svg) damage to an enderman or a blaze, however, endermen have a chance of teleporting away if hit with one.

Filling cauldrons[edit]

Using a splash potion on a cauldron will add one level of that potion to the cauldron.‌[Bedrock and Legacy Console editions only] Attempting to add a splash potion to a cauldron with water, dyed water or a non-matching potion will empty the cauldron and create an explosion sound (but no actual explosion).

Uncraftable Splash Potion[edit]

The uncraftable potion is a splash potion with no effect that is unobtainable in survival. It is also available in potion and lingering potion forms, as well as for tipped arrows.

It can be obtained using the following command: /give @s minecraft:splash_potion{Potion:"minecraft:empty"}. It is also obtained any time a potion has invalid or missing potion effect tags, and thus serves as a placeholder.

Icon Name
Uncraftable Splash Potion

Custom effects[edit]

Splash potions can be obtained with any status effect using /give and the tag CustomPotionEffects, which is an array of effects for the potion. See Item format#Potion Effects for more information, and status effect for a list of effects and IDs.

Data values[edit]

Item data[edit]

  •  tag: The item's tag tag.
    •  CustomPotionEffects: The custom potion effects (status effects) this potion or tipped arrow has. A potion getting its effects from this tag will be named "Water Bottle". A tipped arrow will be named "Arrow of Splashing".
      • One of these for each effect.
        •  Id: The numeric ID of the effect.
        •  Amplifier: The amplifier of the effect, with level I having value 0. Negative levels are discussed here. Optional, and defaults to level I.
        •  Duration: The duration of the effect in ticks. Values 0 or lower are treated as 1. Optional, and defaults to 1 tick.
        •  Ambient: 1 or 0 (true/false) - whether or not this is an effect provided by a beacon and therefore should be less intrusive on the screen. Optional, and defaults to false. Due to a bug, it has no effect on splash potions.
        •  ShowParticles: 1 or 0 (true/false) - whether or not this effect produces particles. Optional, and defaults to true. Due to a bug, it has no effect on splash potions.
        •  ShowIcon: 1 or 0 (true/false) - true if effect icon is shown. false if no icon is shown.
    •  Potion: The name of the default potion effect. This name differs from the status effect name. For example, the value for an "Instant Health II" potion is "minecraft:strong_healing". A potion or tipped arrow getting its effects from this tag will be named with the proper effect.
    •  CustomPotionColor: The item uses this custom color, and area-of-effect clouds, arrows, and splash and lingering potions use it for their particle effects. This color does not extend, however, to the particles given off by entities who ultimately receive the effect. The numeric color code are calculated from the Red, Green and Blue components using this formula: Red<<16 + Green<<8 + Blue. For positive values larger than 0x00FFFFFF, the top byte is ignored. All negative values produce white.

Trivia[edit]

  • If endermen are targeted directly by a splash potion, they will teleport away before the potion can take effect. However, if they are caught in the splash radius of a potion not aimed at them, they will be affected.
  • If killed by a splash potion of harming, the death message would be: <player> was killed by magic

Gallery[edit]
