Minecraft Potion /give Command Generator — Java Edition 1.20.5+

Since Java Edition 1.20.5, Minecraft switched from NBT tags to the data components system. Potions no longer use Potion:"minecraft:swiftness" in curly-brace NBT — instead, the item component minecraft:potion_contents is applied inside square brackets directly on the item ID.

Potion Types Explained

Type	Item ID	How it works
🧪 Potion	minecraft:potion	Right-click to drink. Applies the effect to the player holding it.
💦 Splash Potion	minecraft:splash_potion	Right-click to throw. Shatters on impact and applies the effect in a ~4-block radius.
🌫️ Lingering Potion	minecraft:lingering_potion	Throw to create a cloud that lasts several seconds, repeatedly applying the effect to anyone who walks through it. Duration is reduced to 1/4 compared to the splash version.
🏹 Tipped Arrow	minecraft:tipped_arrow	Shot from a bow or crossbow. Applies the effect to any entity the arrow hits. Duration is 1/8 of the base potion (minimum 1 tick).

Potion Variants

Most effect potions come in three variants controlled by a prefix on the potion ID:

Normal — e.g. minecraft:swiftness — standard duration and level.
Extended (long_) — e.g. minecraft:long_swiftness — longer duration, same level.
Strong (strong_) — e.g. minecraft:strong_swiftness — level II, shorter duration.

Not every effect has all three variants. Instant effects like healing and harming only have a strong variant (no extended, since they have no duration). Effects added in 1.21+ (infested, oozing, weaving, wind_charged) have no variants at all.

Command Syntax (1.20.5+)

/give @p minecraft:potion[minecraft:potion_contents={potion:"minecraft:swiftness"}]
/give @p minecraft:splash_potion[minecraft:potion_contents={potion:"minecraft:long_swiftness"}]
/give @p minecraft:lingering_potion[minecraft:potion_contents={potion:"minecraft:strong_swiftness"}]
/give @p minecraft:tipped_arrow[minecraft:potion_contents={potion:"minecraft:night_vision"}]

The old NBT syntax minecraft:potion{Potion:"minecraft:swiftness"} no longer works in 1.20.5+. Use this generator to always get the correct modern format.
