      When a lingering potion is thrown into a portal, some of the results happen in the wrong dimension.

      Steps to reproduce:
      (A helper is needed to verify some of the results.)

      1. Create a test world in Creative mode.
      2. Build a Nether portal in it. Send the helper through the portal to observe what happens there.
      3. Throw a lingering potion (suggested: invisibility) into the portal and observe the results.
      4. Try it again from the other side.

      Expected results:
      The potion goes through the portal and breaks in the target dimension. It produces an area effect cloud that affects players within range.

      Actual results:
      The potion goes through the portal.

      • If the chunks around the portal in the target dimension are being ticked, the sound of the bottle breaking can be heard there but only a few particles appear and nearby players do not get the potion effect. The area effect cloud instead appears in the origin dimension and affects players within range.
      • If the chunks aren't being ticked, the potion becomes suspended until something (such as a player going through the portal or a player approaching the portal from elsewhere in the target dimension) causes the chunks to be ticked. At that time the potion breaks and releases an area effect cloud in the target dimension, affecting players within range.

      Note: When a lingering potion is thrown through a Nether portal, it loses its momentum and falls to the inside bottom of the portal frame where it breaks. The gist of this issue is that the area effect cloud can be emitted into either dimension depending on whether the target dimension is being ticked at the time the potion is thrown.
