Potion Effects

The potion <effect> element can be used in a kit to apply potion effects directly to a player or used to give a custom effect to a potion bottle item.

Duration specifies how long the potion will last, and amplifier determines what level / how strong the potion is. The effect type is specified by its Minecraft ID. Effect IDs should be specified without their minecraft: prefix.
