How do I give myself a potion or tipped arrow with an effect?

Question

In Java Edition, I can give myself a potion with effect with an NBT tag:

give @s potion 1 0 {Potion:"minecraft:regeneration"}

However, I cannot do this in Bedrock Edition, as there is no access to NBT tags from commands.

How can I give myself a status effect potion with the /give command?

Answer 1

Bedrock Edition uses data values to store the potion effect used by a potion or Tipped Arrow. To give a potion of tipped arrow with the specified effect, you use the command:

/give <player> potion <data value>

where the data value is looked up from this table:

Potion	Regular	Extended	Enhanced
Water Bottle	0	N/A	N/A
Mundane Potion	1	2	N/A
Thick Potion	3	N/A	N/A
Awkward Potion	4	N/A	N/A
Potion of Night Vision	5	6	N/A
Potion of Invisibility	7	8	N/A
Potion of Leaping	9	10	11
Potion of Fire Resistance	12	13	N/A
Potion of Swiftness	14	15	16
Potion of Slowness	17	18	42
Potion of Water Breathing	19	20	N/A
Potion of Healing	21	N/A	22
Potion of Harming	23	N/A	24
Potion of Poison	25	26	27
Potion of Regeneration	28	29	30
Potion of Strength	31	32	33
Potion of Weakness	34	35	N/A
Potion of Decay	36	N/A	N/A
Potion of the Turtle Master	37	38	39
Potion of Slow Falling	40	41	N/A

Tipped arrows use a similar syntax:

/give <player> arrow <data value>

(note: it's just arrow, not tipped_arrow, unlike in Java Edition, and the data values are off by one)

Answer 2

In fact, there is no need for an NBT here to give a potion.

You just need the data value for the item:

/give @a potion 1 7

Here is a table of data values for the potions.
