Frequently Asked Questions
What does Potion Icons do in Minecraft?
Potion Icons displays status effect icons directly over potion bottles, vials, and tipped arrows in your inventory and hotbar.
How can you change where potion effect icons appear?
Adjust Normal Render Mode in the configuration to position icons in the top left, bottom right, or across the full slot.
Can potion icons cycle through multiple effects on a single bottle?
Yes, concoctions containing multiple status effects automatically cycle through each symbol, with timing controlled by Normal Cycle Speed.
Does holding shift change how potion icons are displayed?
Yes, Shift Render Mode and Shift Cycle Speed allow you to specify separate icon layouts and speeds whenever holding SHIFT.
Can potion icons be displayed behind the bottle sprite?
Toggle Normal in Front or Shift in Front to position status icons behind the item art instead of in the foreground.
