A vanilla-friendly potion belt system for Minecraft 1.21.1
Carry your potions. Organize your loadout. Drink them instantly with configurable hotkeys.
Brew your potions. Fill your belt. Continue the adventure.
Potion Belt expands Minecraft's alchemy system with wearable potion belts designed for exploration, combat, and long adventures.
Instead of constantly opening your inventory and moving potions to the hotbar, equip a belt, prepare your potion loadout, and access each slot through dedicated hotkeys.
No automatic effects. No infinite potions. No shortcuts around brewing.
You still gather ingredients, brew every potion, and manage your resources.
Potion Belt simply makes preparation more useful.
Start simple. Improve your equipment. Become a Grandmaster Alchemist.
3 Potion Slots • 4 Potions per Slot
Your first Potion Belt. Designed for early exploration and players beginning their journey into alchemy.
4 Potion Slots • 8 Potions per Slot
An improved belt for experienced adventurers. Requires the previous Alchemist's Belt to craft.
5 Potion Slots • 16 Potions per Slot
The ultimate Potion Belt. Built for dangerous structures, long expeditions, and prepared late-game players.
Alchemist → Master → Grandmaster
Meet the Advanced Alchemy Bench.
The Advanced Alchemy Bench is a dedicated workstation for managing your Potion Belt.
Place your belt inside the bench and fill the available slots with compatible potions.
Each belt slot stores multiple potions of the same type. The maximum capacity is determined by your belt tier.
Prepare before the adventure. Drink when it matters.
Once your Potion Belt is equipped in the Curios Belt Slot, your prepared potions become available through dedicated hotkeys.
Z — SLOT 1
X — SLOT 2
C — SLOT 3
V — SLOT 4
B — SLOT 5
Press the corresponding key and your character begins drinking the potion stored in that slot.
No inventory management in the middle of combat.
No moving potions back and forth from your hotbar.
Choose. Drink. Continue fighting.
All Potion Belt keybinds can be customized through Options → Controls.
Your equipped Potion Belt is displayed through a lightweight HUD near the hotbar.
At a glance, you can see:
The HUD dynamically reflects the tier of your equipped belt.
Its visibility, position, scale, empty slots, and particle settings can be customized through the client configuration.
A new treasure enchantment created for Potion Belt.
Magic Gulp reduces the drinking time of potions consumed through your equipped Potion Belt.
Apply Magic Gulp to chest armor using an Anvil.
