Lingering Potion of Harming

In Minecraft, the Lingering Potion of Harming is a special potion that, unlike splash potions, creates a cloud of harmful effect upon being thrown. This cloud inflicts damage to any entity that enters its area. Crafted by combining a Splash Potion of Harming with Dragon's Breath, the lingering cloud starts with a 3-block radius, shrinking to zero over 30 seconds. Any player or mob that walks into the cloud after the first second receives the harming effect and the cloud's radius decreases slightly, shortening its lifespan. Lingering potions are more effective in group fights, providing continuous damage to multiple targets and can be used to create arrows tipped with harming effects. It serves as an effective tactical tool in the game, allowing strategic control of the battlefield and making it difficult for enemies to approach.
