Natural occurrence

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote During ominous trials, each ominous trial spawner has an equal chance to randomly dispense one of these lingering potions on top of either a player or a mob it spawns:

Usage

Creating area effect clouds

Template:Infobox entity

Lingering potions are thrown, like splash potions, by {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}using them. On impact they break, and after a second they create a lingering cloud with their effect. The cloud is made of the potion particles corresponding to the potion that was thrown. Unlike splash potions, lingering potions do not activate their effect immediately on impact.

The cloud starts with a radius of 3 blocks, decreasing to 0 over the course of 30 seconds. During the cloud's existence, any player or mob that walks into it after the first second gets the corresponding status effect; this decreases the radius by a Template:Frac block immediately, reducing the cloud's lifespan by 5 seconds.

For effects with duration, the duration applied by the cloud is Template:Frac that of the corresponding Minecraft:potion. For effects without duration such as healing or harming, the potency of the effect is Template:Frac that of the corresponding potion.

The effect may be applied consecutively if the player or mob remains in the cloud. For example, a player throwing the Lingering Potion of Healing II straight down consumes the cloud within a few seconds while being healed 5 times for a total of Template:Hp health. As far as healing is concerned, this makes the lingering potion much more powerful than the regular or splash potion, provided that the player is away from other mobs or players.

Lingering potions can also be thrown out of Minecraft:dispensers like splash potions.

In Minecraft:Java Edition, creepers with potion effects will explode with their effect dropped as if a lingering potion was thrown.

Lingering water bottle

Like the splash water bottle, a lingering water bottle puts out fire, damages endermen, blazes, striders, and snow golems by Template:Hp, and restores Script error: No such module "convert". of air to axolotls. in Template:Editions, it creates no effect cloud, while in Template:Editions it creates an effect cloud that extinguishes burning entities that walk into it. in Template:Editions, a lingering awkward, mundane, or thick potion acts similar to the lingering water bottle, being able to extinguish burning entities and damage endermen, blazes, and snow golems, but without the ability to put out fires.

Mud

Lingering water bottles can be {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}used on Minecraft:dirt, coarse dirt, or rooted dirt to turn it into Minecraft:mud.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Crafting ingredient

Template:Crafting usage

Filling cauldrons

in Template:Editions, using a lingering potion on a cauldron adds one level of that potion to the cauldron. Attempting to add a lingering 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 lingering potion

In Java Edition, the uncraftable lingering potion is a lingering potion with no effect that is unobtainable in survival mode. It is also available in potion and splash potion forms, as well as for tipped arrows.

It can be obtained using the following command: /give @s minecraft:lingering_potion. It is also obtained when a lingering potion has invalid or missing potion effect tags, and thus serves as a placeholder.
