Main Screen and HUD

The belt item

Craft or obtain a Potion's Belt item. It has 27 slots (3 rows x 9 columns) and only accepts:

  • Drinkable (non-splash, non-lingering) potions.
  • Empty glass bottles (so you can pre-load bottles, or just so drunk potions have somewhere to sit).

Opening the belt's GUI

Two ways, both open the same 27-slot screen (reuses the vanilla shulker box layout):

  • Press E (the vanilla "Open/Close Inventory" key) while the belt is in your main hand.
  • Press the dedicated "Open Belt Menu" keybind (unbound by default — see Keybinds to set it up), which works from either hand.

Inside, drag potions and bottles in and out like any other container. Anything that isn't a drinkable potion or an empty bottle is rejected, including on shift-click.

You can pick up, drop, or drag the belt around your inventory normally even while its own menu is open — nothing is locked.

Drinking

Right click with the belt in either hand to drink — it uses the same 1.6-second animation as drinking a potion normally, so it doesn't change game balance. Which potion gets drunk depends on your current column selection; see Column Loadouts.

If the belt has no potions at all (only bottles, or completely empty), right click does nothing but show a message and play a short sound — no animation plays.

The HUD preview

Whenever the belt is held in either hand, a small icon plus the potion's name appears next to the hotbar (mirroring the position of vanilla's offhand-item indicator, on the opposite side). It always shows exactly which potion would be drunk right now, so you never have to guess before committing to the 1.6-second animation.

Sounds

  • A leather-belt sound plays whenever the GUI opens (either entry point).
  • A distinct "bottle opens" sound plays right before the drink animation starts.
  • A "bottle closes" sound plays when a drink ends — whether it finished normally, was released early, or was interrupted (switching hotbar slot, picking an empty column mid-drink, etc.).
