Minecraft Potion of Regeneration Guide
Potion of Regeneration is one of the most useful potions in Minecraft. It provides the Regeneration effect, which restores 1 health point (½ heart) every 2.5 seconds.
Removal & Version Notes
- Milk removes all active potion effects instantly—carry a bucket to counter negative effects or to reset before switching strategies.
- Potions behave similarly across recent Java and Bedrock editions; if timings seem off, verify your game version as balance tweaks occasionally change durations or levels.
