Glass-Vial Potion Arrows

Tip any modular arrow with any potion. New in 2.0.0.

Crafting flow

  1. Craft an empty Glass-Vial arrow at the Fletching Table by using a Glass Bottle in the head slot, any shaft, any fletching.
  2. Fill the Dipping Vat with any potion (right-click the vat with a potion bottle). The vat accepts any vanilla or modded potion.
  3. Dip the Glass-Vial arrow in the filled vat — sneak-right-click the vat while holding the arrow. The arrow comes out tipped with that potion.

The resulting arrow tooltip names the potion contents, e.g. "Potion Arrow (Strength II)".

Behavior

When a Glass-Vial arrow hits anything:

  • The vial shatters on impact.
  • The stored potion splashes onto whatever it struck.
  • The effect intensity scales by distance from impact, identical to vanilla splash potions.
  • The arrow consumes itself — Glass-Vial arrows are single-use.

Because the payload is the potion, Glass-Vial arrows do 0.4× base damage — they're a delivery system, not a damage type.

JEI integration

JEI indexes the dipping recipe per-potion. Searching for "Strength Arrow" or "Jump Boost Arrow" in JEI surfaces the matching dipping recipe directly.

Combining with other components

Glass-Vial is a head, so you can combine it with any modular shaft + fletching. Shaft and fletching effects still apply on hit (e.g. cherry shaft heals the shooter, serrated fletching homes toward targets) — only the head's "potion splash" replaces the normal head behavior.

Stacking with shaft effects like Cherry's heal is a powerful combo: splash Regen on a target, heal yourself from the same arrow.
