PotionBuff

Force Strength potion duration to whatever your server needs, for Paper 1.21+.

A tiny, focused plugin: every Strength effect — drinkable, splash, lingering, or tipped arrow — gets forced to a configurable duration. Great for PvP servers that want longer or shorter Strength windows than vanilla brewing allows.

---

Features

• Applies to every Strength source — drinkable potions, splash potions, lingering clouds, and tipped arrows are all covered
• Configurable duration — set the forced duration in minutes, server-wide
• Leaves infinite Strength alone — beacon-granted infinite Strength is left untouched
• Live enable/disable — toggle the effect on or off without a restart
• Status command — see the current state and configured duration at a glance

---
