I've had this idea for a while and I see it's been shared at least once before, but I feel like it's even more relevant in the current state of 1.21. Currently, Resistance is only available as a beacon effect, similar to Haste. It makes sense for Haste to be beacon-exclusive, but as Resistance is a combat enchantment it doesn't make sense for it to be unavailable unless you carry a full beacon while exploring.
1.21 is already a combat focused update, and it also adds the Armadillo and armadillo scutes. These would be the perfect ingredient for a Resistance potion as they are a part of the armadillo's armor. Add a fermented spider eye, and maybe it could turn into a Fragility potion, which increases the damage that you take.
This could also have good synergy with the wind charge/mace combo. Imagine launching into the air, firing a fragility-tipped arrow from a crossbow, and then slamming down with the mace to deal even more damage. It would take some practice to pull off, but it would be incredibly satisfying.
