So I was curious as to whether or not I could have a potion effect deal damage from a custom source in set intervals. Something like 1/2 heart every 30 seconds, or 600 ticks. The potion effect I am currently using works just fine and I just want to modify when damage gets dealt from the potion.
and turn the "...world.rand.nextInt(600) == 0)" into something that is not random? I don't really know how to do that without using timers (which I have never touched before)... Any help would be appreciated.

Override Potion#isReady to check if duration (the number of ticks the effect has left) is divisible by X (i.e. duration % X == 0), where X is the interval at which the potion should damage the entity. Override Potion#performEffect to damage the entity.

I haven't really used Overrides much before on my own. I tried my best setting it up, but I'm pretty sure I did it wrong. I learn visually when I see others' code and I can usually adjust it to how I want.
@Override(Potion.isReady) {
duration % 600 == 0}
I mean... I tried... It didn't work (probably obvious). Being honest, I have very little idea how to set up @ and deal with any of the stuff here. Could you either tell me how to format it, or direct me to a tutorial? Thanks for your help.

This is very basic Java knowledge that you should already have before making a mod.

Would it be possible to take
else if(e.getEntityLiving().world.rand.nextInt(600) == 0 ) { e.getEntityLiving().attackEntityFrom(ModDamageSources.bleeding, 1); }and turn the "...world.rand.nextInt(600) == 0)" into something that is not random?

Java has a tutorial on overriding methods here.
