Template:Future Template:Potion
Splash Potions are future craftable throwable potion based weapons introduced in 1.9 Pre-release 4. You can turn any brewable potion into a Splash Potion by mixing in Gunpowder. It appears in a different shaped flask. Instead of drinking it, you throw it like a snowball. Splash potions can also be fired from a Dispenser.

Trivia
- Effects from Splash Potions travel roughly five blocks in all directions from the source of impact.
- A splash potion will affect the player who throws it if it impacts close enough. This can be dangerous if using harmful potions but can also be useful; a group of players clustered together could all receive the benefit from a positive potion, depending on distance, if the user throws it straight down at their own feet.
- A Splash Potion's effect will decrease in time the further away the target is from the explosion centre.
- An Instant Damage III Splash Potion is powerful enough to instantly kill its victim.
- It would appear Zombies and Skeletons are unharmed by Instant Damage Splash Potions and Poison Splash Potions.
- Spiders also seem to be immune to the poison from Poison Splash Potions.
- As of 1.9 Pre-release 4, Splash Potions do minor explosive push damage and have an in-game damage effect, but they do not seem to harm Creepers or Skeletons in Creative Mode.
