MC-121865High potion effect durations being displayed as **:** is misleading
The bug
When a potion effect has a duration equal to or higher than 1639, its duration is displayed as "**:**", see also MC-18836.
This implies that the potion effect lasts forever, but this is not the case. However, because of MC-44936 the client will not notice when the duration becomes lower than 1639.
Important: If this report is considered invalid, the field net.minecraft.potion.PotionEffect.isPotionDurationMax should be set to false by the method net.minecraft.potion.PotionEffect.deincrementDuration() if the value is below 1639.
How to reproduce
- Use the following command
/effect give @s speed 1639
→
The duration is displayed as "**:**" - Reopen the world
→
The actual duration is displayed and is decreasing

Because of MC-121865
Summary:
When the duration of the effect is too large in Java to minutes and seconds are added hours. In Bedrock, time is divided only for minutes and seconds. This parity problem appeared after fix MC-121865.
Steps to reproduce:
- Give yourself an effect with a duration of more than one hour.
- See how the time is displayed in the description of the effect.
Observed results:
The time in the effect is divided into minutes and seconds.
Expected results:
Time should be divided into hours, minutes and seconds.

I don't believe this is a bug. I just checked the wiki and here is a caption from the Behavior section:
Note that even with commands, effects cannot be made to last forever. If an effect is set to an excessively large amount of time, such as 182 hours [655200 seconds], it will display as "*:*", but will still continue ticking down and eventually expire.
I believe this is implemented just to show that the timer is very high and may never be reached.
That doesn’t make it any less misleading; also note that the wiki is not an official source.
