Usage

Effect

Potions of Night Vision are used by pressing and holding use with the potion bottle in hand, as with all consumable items. When consumed, they give the player Night Vision and return a glass bottle.

Drinking a potion while already under the effects of the same potion does not add onto the effect's duration, but simply resets it.
