Distinguished Potions
About the Modification
Distinguished Potions fundamentally changes the visual display of potions in Minecraft, making them instantly distinguishable. No more hovering over every bottle in a chest to figure out what potion it is — now everything is visible at a glance!
Main Features
Enhanced Visualization
- Removed enchantment glint — you now clearly see the actual color of the liquid inside the bottle
- Colored corks — potion corks are colored differently for enhanced and extended versions, using colors similar to glowstone and redstone
Informational Indicators
- Dot system — a small bar with dots (up to four) is displayed at the bottom of the bottle, showing the total number of effect amplifiers
- Multi-layer display — dots can stack on top of each other to display values greater than four
Smart Names
- Extended names — enhanced potions now include the type in their name, for example "Long Potion of Speed" instead of just "Potion of Speed"
- Unique effect colors — basic potions (awkward, mundane, thick) have their own colors so they can't be confused with water bottles
Arrow Compatibility
- All listed features also work with tipped arrows, helping to distinguish their types

Configuration
The modification supports three types of configuration files:
- Client settings:
/.minecraft/config/<modId>-client.toml - Common settings:
/.minecraft/config/<modId>-common.toml - Server settings:
/.minecraft/saves/<world>/serverconfig/<modId>-server.toml(for singleplayer)
In a local world, you can quickly find configuration files using the command /config showfile <modid>, selecting CLIENT, COMMON or SERVER, and then clicking on the file name that appears in chat to edit it.
