[MC-85891] Splash potions have the same duration as their drinkable counterparts

In previous versions of the game, splash potions would have 3/4 of the duration of regular potions. It seems like this is no longer the case, and I don't believe it was intended to be.

We'll have to see. The potions are very expensive as they require dragon's breath to craft ~Sparks

Did some testing and I believe you are misunderstood. This is about regular splash potions. Lingering potions are the ones brewed with Dragons's breath and they are currently 1/4 the time of regular potions. Splash potions are supposed to be 3/4 but may have been changed to full, and I don't think intentionally.

I do not believe that splash potions had reduced duration. They give you either 0% or 100% of the duration depending on how close you are to the center of the splash. Could you perhaps have mistaken that for the reduction?

I'm guessing someone read it on the wiki (http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Splash_Potion&oldid=875610 or earlier) and assumed it was true.

I disagree. This is a different bug.

You're right. It's not the effect time applied to the player, it's the default time in the inventory.
1.7.10 , 1.8.8: "Potion of Night Vison 6:00"
15w33b: "Potion of Night Vison 8:00"

Ely G 2015-08-14T05:40:06Z

yes. was going to clarify but you figured it out. thanks

Anomie X 2015-08-14T22:41:02Z

Found it! In 1.8.8, the "create potion effect class from metadata ('damage') number" method multiplied the duration by 0.75 at that step (MCP 9.10 PotionHelper.getPotionEffects(int, boolean), line 412), then the thrown potion just used that already-adjusted value.

The 1.9 beta versions change how that works entirely, now we have a few known PotionEffect objects shared by everything instead of creating new ones for every potion.

1.7.10: Splash Potion of Night Vision 6:00
15w33b: Splash Potion of Night Vision 8:00
Then I threw it at myself.
Inventory: Night Vision 5:59 (This was right after I threw it.)
This was a few months ago.

You have to throw it directly on top of your head. Still 8:00

I'm starting to think that this might be WAI. Given the increased cost of potions the devs may have wanted to increase the duration of splash pots, so they never bothered to fix this.

@unknown is this WAI?

@unknown: Dinnerbone doesn't work on Minecraft anymore. He's doing other stuff at Mojang.

Ely G 2016-03-11T21:06:34Z

Since when? He commented on this issue.
