Useful Tips:
- The Healing Potion is useful for emergency healing during battles, as it works instantly.
- Use a Splash Healing Potion to heal allies or pets.
- When used on zombies, zombie piglins, and wither skeletons, they take damage instead of healing.
- For mass healing, Lingering Potions are better than regular ones but consume faster.
- The enhanced version, Healing Potion II, is more efficient as it restores twice as much health.
Conclusion
