This article is about the throwable potions. For the throwable potions that leave a lingering area of effect, see Lingering Potion. For the drinkable potions, see Potion.Splash potions are a variant of potions that can be thrown.
Contents
Obtaining[edit]
Brewing[edit]
| 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 turns it into a bottle of that splash potion, this also removes 1⁄3 of the cauldron's content.[Bedrock Edition only]
Bartering[edit]
Piglins may barter a splash potion of Fire Resistance when given a gold ingot.
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.
- In Bedrock Edition, splash potions' effects have only three-fourths of the duration of the drinkable form. In Java Edition, splash and drinkable forms have the same duration.
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 maximizes the duration, compared to the feet.
Splash water bottles[edit]
Splash water bottles have no effect on almost all entities, but they extinguish fire in the block hit and the four blocks horizontally surrounding it.
A splash water bottle deals 1
damage to endermen, striders, snow golems, and blazes; however, endermen have a chance of teleporting away if hit with one.
Filling cauldrons[edit]
In Bedrock Edition, using a splash potion on a cauldron adds one level of that potion to the cauldron. Attempting to add a splash potion to a cauldron with water, dyed water or a non-matching potion empties the cauldron and creates an explosion sound (but no actual explosion).
Uncraftable Splash Potion[edit]
In Java Edition, the uncraftable potion is a splash potion with no effect that is unobtainable in regular gameplay. 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]
In Java Edition, 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.

Item data[edit]
- tag: The item's tag tag.
- CustomPotionEffects: The custom potion effects (status effects) this potion or tipped arrow has.
- 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.
- ShowParticles: 1 or 0 (true/false) - whether or not this effect produces particles. Optional, and defaults to true.
- ShowIcon: 1 or 0 (true/false) - true if effect icon is shown. false if no icon is shown.
- One of these for each effect.
- 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 is named with the proper effect. The default value is "minecraft:empty", which gives it the "Uncraftable" name.
- 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.
- CustomPotionEffects: The custom potion effects (status effects) this potion or tipped arrow has.

Trivia[edit]
- If an enderman is targeted directly by a splash potion, it teleports away before the potion can affect it. However, if an enderman is caught in the splash radius of a potion not aimed at it, it takes damage from the potion.
- If killed by a splash potion of harming, the death message would be: <player> was killed by <attacker> using magic
