Features
There are 3 levels of strength, from minor (weak) over ordinary (medium) to strong (best).
5 different potion types provide flying (antigravity), jumping (higher), (running) speed, healing (regeneration) and air (breathing, breath regen).
This makes for a total of 15 colorful potions. All effects are lost on death, and you can only use 3 at a time. They all have limited durations.

I really like this mod and the idea itself :D
And also i have some ideas to share them with you:
- Miner potion: With the miner effect you can mine all blocks a little bit faster (or maybe only just stone)
- Upgrades: That would be cool if you can upgrade your big potion to last for minutes. I you do that then we also need a method to easily remove all the effects from yourself (maybe "antimagic bread"?)
- Fire resistance potion: Everyone wants to swim in lava :D
- Crafting recipes: Of course we also need some way to get these potions (crafting, brewing or maybe just some random machines)
- Fix fly potion: The fly potion should work in water too
All in all, this is a cool mod.

Thanks! I will consider your suggestions.
Regarding
The fly potion should work in water too
I don't know whether it's possible. Currently I'm setting player physics and decreasing gravity.

Please also add an frostwalker (if you are nearly in the water the water will turn in ice and you can walk over it and 6 secs later it will turn back into water

It's not possible. The water physics works regardless of gravity, it has been discussed here:

Hey, VERY cool mod, I'm surprised this isn't already a longer thread.
That said, it seems that the air potion stays in effect indefinitely, for me anyway. Once I use it, I am immune from drowning until I quit the game and then start again. This is with only this mod, modlib, and hud_timers enabled, plus the mods that come with the basic Minetest game.

Thanks! I will investigate your bug report. Edit: confirmed, will fix. 2nd edit: fixed.

1. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but it seems like the fly potion is only letting me jump higher, not even as high as the jump potion yet they do stack. I've modified some global game settings so maybe it's something in there? Beacons redo temporarily grants fly priv and it seems to work that way.
2. The air potion seems (to me) underpowered. I think maybe it would be more useful to set air at max and then have minor duration at 0, ordinary at 10s, and strong at 20s
3. I can only have 3 potions in an inventory stack. Is this intentional?
4. Shouldn't creative allow to use potions without removing from inventory? This is trivial and more of a principle issue than functional

1. gravity vs. jump. Play with it some more and you'll notice the differences.
2. That's possible
3. Yes, and configurable (
max_in_use)
4. I don't think so

1. I'm sorry, I don't understand. The description says fly but it doesn't let me fly, I only jump a little higher, like crystal boots from ethereal
3. What I mean is inventory stack, not the total number "in use". So if I craft 7 of the same potion, I will have 3 spaces in my inventory: 3, 3, and 1
