then how does a player with a splash potion like in my screenshot gets the max time. ive threw it straight up on me and down both ways only show 4 mins but text in inventory say 6 mins.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Working as Intended.
It's not possible to get 100% of the effect of a splash potion. As explained in the wiki article Splash potion, when the bottle breaks, the effect cloud is distributed across space. You would have to occupy all of that space to get all of the effect. To get the maximum effect, you need it to break on your head. Also, the duration of the effect falls off quickly with distance, which I think explains your question about it.
if these potions are explosive then the duration of the effect will be what you throw it at yourself.
for example, if you threw it under your feet, the duration of the effect will be less, if you threw it into the wall, then more or less and if you throw it at a chub then the effect time will be the biggest.
