About this converter
Drinkable potion durations run 20 to 480 seconds. Extended eight minute rows top the table at 480: Fire Resistance, Strength, Swiftness, Night Vision, Invisibility, Leaping and Water Breathing. Mid rows run 240 with extended Weakness, Slow Falling and Slowness. Base three minute rows sit at 180. Short rows run 90 with Swiftness II, Strength II, Leaping II, extended Regeneration and extended Poison. Smallest rows close at 45, 40, 22 and 20. One extended Fire Resistance matches twenty four Turtle Masters. Redstone extends, glowstone shortens and strengthens.
How to use it
Pick two potions and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 extended Fire Resistance against Turtle Master to see the 480 versus 20 gap in seconds or minutes.
Values pin Java Edition drinkable durations with splash at 75 percent and lingering at 25 percent noted but not rowed. Healing and Harming stay out because instant effects carry no duration. Poison II sits at 21 seconds in current versions with older 22 noted. Turtle Master trades slowness for resistance in every row that touches it.
FAQ
What is the longest potion duration?
480 seconds. Seven potions reach it extended: Fire Resistance, Strength, Swiftness, Night Vision, Invisibility, Leaping and Water Breathing.
How do you extend potions?
Redstone dust. It multiplies most durations by 8 over 3, so 3 minutes becomes 8 minutes.
What does glowstone do?
Glowstone dust. Level two doubles the effect but halves the time, so Swiftness II runs 90 seconds.
Why no Healing or Harming?
No. Healing and Harming apply instantly, so they carry no duration and stay out of second rows.
