7 best Minecraft mods for potions

Minecraft has all kinds of magical features that players can use to survive and progress. One of them is using potions on themselves and on their enemies. Potions are extremely useful items that can be brewed using a brewing stand and a few essential items like blaze powder and nether wart. Some potions have positive effects, while others have negative effects and are meant to be thrown at hostile mobs.

Over the years, however, potions have not received any new upgrades from Mojang. Thankfully, the community has created loads of mods to compensate for this.
