Potion enchantment glow setting

I've been looking around and I've seen a mix of people hating the change and people loving the change, so here's my idea so that everyone can be happy! Instead of removing the enchantment glint on potions entirely, make it a setting so that if it's off, potions won't glow and if it's on, potions will glow, it would be automatically set off, but then the people who like it can have it and the people who don't like it won't have it! Thanks for reading and please consider this!

  I agree. I dislike this change. The potions looked so much cooler with the enchantment glint and currently we have no way to make any item have the enchantment glint by default, this feature is hardcoded. There should either be an accessibility option specifically for the enchantment glint on potions or there should be a way to customise this with resource packs. Note that not all types of potions had the enchantment glint, the normal glass bottles and awkward potions etc. didn't display the enchantment glint. It feels also inconsistent that potions don't display it anymore, while experience bottles still do. Experience bottles can be thrown the same way as splash potions and lingering potions. I understand, that the glint made it harder to distinguish them but that wasn't that big of an issue for me. I was still able to distinguish them when I needed to. 
  Instead of making this a simple toggle, maybe make this a slider that is like the Glint Strength accessibiltiy option but only applies for the potions. That way you could only partially have the enchantment glint if you like it while still wanting to have it easier to distinguish the potions.

  It would be best if you made this into "Potion Visual Accessibility Settings," considering both the glint and the new potion color changes have been made. Unfortunately, quite several people still don't like them, even with time. Same premise, but I would organize it like this so that it's easier to read and people can follow this better.
  
  "There should be settings for both the potion enchantment glint and new potion color changes in Accessibility settings. Several players I've seen, even if it's smaller than the more welcoming players to the changes, would still like the original look of the potions, either for personal preference or other purposes.
  
  Proposed changes:
  - New Accessibility Settings: Potion Enchantment Glint -> [On/Off]
  - New Accessibility Settings: Potion Colors -> [Default/Old/Red-Green Colorblind/Blue-Yellow Colorbind]
  (I added colorblind changes for players who are colorblind since removing the glint in the first place made it harder for some colorblind people to distinguish them easily from other bottled items. The new potion colors should still be default since you are committing to this change, and make the old settings an option.)"
  
  Overall, these settings could benefit more from the "Quality of Life" aspect of the update and 1.19.4 and future versions of bedrock, especially for players who still want the old potion settings.
