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

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)
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.
