Splash Potions are a special sort of potion that, rather than being consumed, is thrown. They have a small radius of effect around the point of impact.
Brewing a Splash Potion[]
To create a splash potion:
- Brew the desired effect into a standard potion.
- Add gunpowder.
Using a Splash Potion[]
Splash Potions are thrown rather than consumed. Therefore, when a player right-clicks while holding a Splash Potion, they will throw it, causing it to hit and affect all nearby mobs and/or players, or put out nearby fires if it's an untampered splash potion. Splash Potions can also be loaded into a dispenser for redstone-controlled attacks.
Note also that when a Splash Potion is used, the bottle is destroyed, as opposed to simply being emptied when a player drinks from it. And, as with all potions, they do not stack. Therefore, a player must keep a large reserve of bottles if they wish to use many potions.
Area of Effect[]
The further away from the center of the explosion, using taxicab geometry with a range of 5 blocks. This was tested with a 60-second splash potion of weakness and the tables below list the effect in both seconds and percent. There is variance within each block, so this is a gradient scale. Damage potions are assumed to follow a similar decrease in potency.
