Distinct Potions makes potions easier to recognize at a glance. 🧪 With clearer visuals, unique bottle styles, and improved naming, you can finally tell your potions apart without hovering over every single one.

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric).
For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.
