Splash and Lingering Variants
Add Gunpowder to any finished potion to create a Splash Potion you can throw. Splash potions affect all entities within a small radius on impact. Durations for splash variants are reduced to 75 % of the drinkable version. Add Dragon's Breath to a Splash Potion to create a Lingering Potion that leaves an area-of-effect cloud on the ground. Lingering potion durations are 25 % of the drinkable version.
Best Uses
- Parkour and traversal: Jump Boost II lets you clear 2.25-block-high jumps, making parkour courses and vertical traversal much easier.
- Wall scaling: Combine with sprinting to jump up terrain that would normally require stairways or scaffolding.
- PvP: The extra jump height lets you gain high ground and makes you harder to hit in melee exchanges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Jump Boost increase fall damage?
No. Jump Boost actually reduces fall damage. The game subtracts the extra jump height from the fall distance calculation, so you take the same fall damage as if you had jumped from normal height.
How do I find Rabbits for Rabbit's Foot?
Rabbits spawn in deserts, flower forests, taigas, snowy taigas, snowy plains, and groves. Use a Looting III sword to increase the drop chance from 10 % to up to 19 %.
Can I corrupt Leaping into another potion?
Yes. Adding a Fermented Spider Eye to a Potion of Leaping creates a Potion of Slowness.
