Struggling to distinguish potions in your PvP hotbar?
PotionFX adds a unique, colored slot background for every potion effect — so you can identify them instantly in your hotbar without reading tooltips mid-fight.
⚠️ Compatibility Note
This pack requires CIT support — it will not work in vanilla Minecraft.
See Requirements below for exact loader/mod details.
Features
- Unique background color for every potion effect
- Covers all effects craftable in Vanilla
- Different variants of the same effect get different textures
- 100% vanilla bottle models & glint overlay
Why PotionFX?
In PvP, every second matters.
Reading potion names mid-fight costs you the advantage. PotionFX fixes that by turning effects into visual cues.
