Remove Potion Glint

Sometimes, it is hard to differentiate from potion to potion because of the enchanting glow that is on them. Potions like Slowness and Weakness, Night Vision, and Water Breathing, etc are hard to tell the difference  between at first, requiring the player (in creative mode) to go through both potions to see if they are the one they think they are, or (in survival mode) accidentally drinking the wrong potion (sounds stupid but is still possible) leading to inconveniences or sometimes, even death!

My proposal is to remove the enchantment glint from the potions, so you can clearly see the color on them without unnecessary drama.

    Visual effect.

    Moved to proper category.

    Nice idea. And to keep them seeming magical, they could have a bubbling animation instead (obviously not affecting the color).

    Agreed that potions should be more distinct. Another idea I have is making the glint the same color as the liquid inside, so that potions keep their properties while still being distinguishable.

    I know this post is old, but personally I think the enchantment glint is fine, I didn't have troubles telling the difference much. It also serves as a cool magic aura, since potions are basically a magic drink.

    They've removed it in the latest pre-release, though. Personally, it seems like you'll still have trouble telling the difference between the blue pots, and now no effect potions are included in the mix. Night Vision is next to the no effect pots in the order, too...the gray potions look similar, as well.
