Cleansing Potions

We already know Milk cures all when you drink it. But while you're in a fight, you can use a Splash Potion of Purging on an enemy to remove all of their good effects, like regeneration or strength. Want to remove only bad effects? Drink a Potion of Soothing. And for both, you can simply use a Potion of Cleansing which removes everything. This gives you the ability midfight to handle status effects and get back in.

The potions

There are three, each as a regular, splash, and lingering potion, and they differ only in what they strip away:

• Potion of Cleansing clears every effect at once, good and bad, much like drinking milk. Effects on the forceKeep list stay, which is Conduit Power by default.
• Potion of Soothing clears only the harmful effects and leaves your buffs alone.
• Potion of Purging clears only the beneficial effects, which makes a well-aimed splash a real tool in a fight.

Brewing

Everything is made at a brewing stand, the way you would expect:

Brewing, the splash step, and the lingering step can each be turned off in the config. On 26.3 these are data pack recipes, so a data pack can change them too.

Using them

Drink one to clean up your own effects. Throw a splash to catch everyone in range, or set it to affect only the thrower. Throw a lingering to leave a cloud that keeps cleansing anyone who stands in it. Dispensers throw splash and lingering potions too.

The /cleanse command (or the full /cleansingpotions) hands out any potion and reloads the config. It is limited to operators.

Configuration

Settings live in config/cleansingpotions.json, written on first launch, and most of them can also be changed in-game through the Cloth Config screen. You can adjust the area-of-effect radius, force specific effects to always or never be cleared, add a throw cooldown, turn each brew on or off, and gate use behind a permission on multiplayer servers. Permission gating never affects singleplayer.

Potion names, tooltips, and colours come from the mod's resources, so a resource pack can rename, translate, or recolour them.

Metrics and the update check

The mod reports pseudonymous usage statistics and errors through FastStats. On a client, a FastStats consent screen opens once at the title screen, and nothing is sent from that client until it is answered. "metrics": false turns it off entirely. On the first world join of a session, the client also asks Modrinth whether a newer version exists, which "checkForUpdates": false turns off. The full details are in the README.
