HigherPots
This datapack makes use of the new 26.3 feature of data-driven brewing recipes and adds more OP potions to the game, by allowing them to be upgraded twice instead of once, and also adds Haste and Mining fatigue potions.
Note: The creative menu still displays the vanilla potions due to datapack limitations. I may add a function to give creative players shulkerboxes of all potions in the future.
Main Mechanic
Potions can be upgraded a second time, either in duration or potency. While the first upgrade uses redstone and glowstone dust, the second uses redstone and glowstone blocks, respectively. Most potions still have a default duration of 3 min. To make these upgrades more consistent,
- Redstone dust/blocks double duration
- Glowstone dust/blocks halve duration and increase potency
- Exception: potions with a duration of 45s get decreased to 20s (and 20s back to 45s) instead of 22.5s to prevent annoying decimals
- Fermented eyes invert a potion and often halve the duration (although mining fatigue and Invis are a quarter the duration)
Potion stats
Listed below are base duration of each potion and the potency of its effect with each potency upgrade. Lingering potions have 1/4 the duration and tipped arrows 1/8 as per vanilla.

Other changes
- Haste and mining fatigue potions have been added. Haste is brewed with a golden apple and awkward pot and mining fatigue is brewed with a fermented eye and haste pot.
- Weakness is now brewed with a fermented eye and strength pot instead of a fermented eye and water bottle, which now brews a mundane pot.
- Poison is now brewed with a fermented eye and regen pot instead of a spider eye and awkward pot. It can no longer be used to brew harming.
- Weakness can have increased potency. Wind charging, weaving, oozing and infestation can have increased duration.
