Simple Milk Potions and Arrows
Status effects can ruin a perfectly good adventure. A stray witch throws Poison your way, a Warden lands Darkness, or a shulker nails you with Levitation at the worst possible moment. Vanilla Minecraft gives you one answer: a bucket of milk. That works, but it is clumsy in combat, awkward to share with friends, and impossible to throw at range. Simple Milk Potions and Arrows solves that problem by turning milk into a proper combat and support tool, adding drinkable, splash, and lingering milk potions along with milk arrows that strip every effect from whatever they hit.
What the Mod Adds
The core idea is simple: milk, but in the forms you actually want during a fight. Every variant removes all active status effects from the target, including both harmful and beneficial ones, so timing matters. If you are stacked with buffs, think twice before drinking.
- Milk Potion (drinkable): A standard potion that clears all effects on the player who drinks it.
- Splash Milk Potion: Thrown like a normal splash potion, clearing effects in an area. Perfect for saving a teammate caught in a poison cloud.
- Lingering Milk Potion: Leaves a cloud that repeatedly removes effects from anyone standing inside it.
- Milk Arrows: Fired from a bow or crossbow, these apply the same effect-clearing result on impact, giving you a long-range cleanse.
Because the behavior mirrors vanilla potion mechanics, the items feel natural in survival. You brew them with the standard brewing stand workflow, and they stack, store, and trade like any other potion. That familiarity is exactly why Simple Milk Potions and Arrows for Minecraft fits so cleanly into modpacks without disrupting balance.
Supported Versions and Loaders
The add-on is built for modern Minecraft releases, with builds targeting the 1.20.x and 1.21.x branches. It runs on both Fabric and NeoForge, so you are not locked into a single mod loader. If you play on a Fabric server with performance mods, or a NeoForge pack centered on tech and magic, you can drop this in without switching your setup. Always check the file list on the project page and match the build to your exact game version and loader, since a mismatched jar will simply fail to load.
If you would rather skip manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher offers a curated add-on catalog where Simple Milk Potions and Arrows can be added to a profile in a single click, with version compatibility checked automatically before anything is installed. That removes the guesswork of hunting down the right jar for your specific Minecraft build.
How to Install
Step 1: Prepare Your Loader
Install Fabric or NeoForge for your chosen Minecraft version first. Without a loader, the mod cannot run.
Step 2: Get the Right File
When you download Simple Milk Potions and Arrows, pick the build that matches both your game version and your loader. Grab the dependencies listed on the project page if any are required.
Step 3: Place the Jar
Drop the downloaded file into your mods folder, located inside your Minecraft installation directory. Create the folder if it does not exist.
Step 4: Launch and Test
Start the game with your modded profile. Once in a world, brew a milk potion in a brewing stand and confirm the recipe appears. If the item is missing, you almost certainly have a version mismatch.
Why It Belongs in Your Pack
Cleansing effects is a niche that vanilla handles poorly outside of one clunky item. This add-on fills that gap with options that scale from solo survival to PvP servers. A lingering milk cloud can neutralize a room full of buffed opponents, while a milk arrow lets a support player cleanse an ally from a safe distance. It is lightweight, focused, and does one job extremely well.
Whether you are building a hardcore pack, running a faction server, or just tired of dying to Poison with a milk bucket in your hotbar, Simple Milk Potions and Arrows delivers a clean, intuitive answer. Install it, brew a few stacks, and keep your effects under control.
