Status effect

"Effect" redirects here. For the command, see commands § effect.

Status effects are various conditions, which can be either helpful or harmful, that affect an entity. They can be inflicted in various ways throughout the game, including consuming potions and some food items, being in the range of beacons and conduits, and being attacked by or close to certain mobs.

The /effect command allows players to inflict effects upon themselves and other players and entities.

Behavior

Any entities inflicted by a status effect will be affected in various ways for an amount of time. During the effect, swirly particles emanate from the position of the inflicted entity. Players can open their inventory to see any current status effects afflicted upon them, as well as its level and duration. For most effects, higher levels increase the strength of the effect.

Internally, and in the /effect command and potion Amplifier NBT tags, the game stores an "amplifier" value, which is one less than the displayed level. For example, Strength II has an amplifier of 1.

Due to the way this amplifier is stored in NBT, amplifiers of 128 to 255 (levels 129 to 256) in NBT tags (e.g. on potions) are treated as if they were −128 to −1 (levels −127 to 0) respectively. The /effect command initially applies such amplifiers in their positive-valued sense but this is later converted to the negative-valued interpretation, leading to inconsistent results.

Any number of different status effects, including opposing effects such as Strength and Weakness, can be simultaneously active on a player. However, it is not possible to apply the same effect multiple times, even if they are of different levels (e.g. Strength and Strength II). When applying an effect already active on the player, higher levels overwrite lower levels, and higher durations overwrite lower durations of the same level.

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 (655,200 seconds), it will display as "**:**", but will still continue ticking down and eventually expire.

All status effects can be removed by drinking milk, dying, being saved from death by a totem of undying, or traveling through the return portal in the End. Singleplayer users with cheats enabled and operators in multiplayer servers can use /effect clear <playername>‌^{[Java Edition only]} or /effect <playername> clear‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]} to achieve the same goal.

Bad Luck

Bad Luck‌^{[Java Edition only]}

Particle	#C0A44D (khaki)

Decreases chances of high-quality and more loot.

Effect

Subtracts 1 × level from attribute generic.luck, making loot table entries with a high quality score less likely, and entries with negative quality more likely. It also makes the chance of bonus_rolls occurring less likely. Currently, only fishing uses quality. The new weight of each entry is floor(base_weight + quality * generic.luck).

Negative levels increase luck.

This status effect is exclusive to the Java Edition.

Sources	Activated Conduit
Particle	#1DC2D1 (robin's egg blue)

A combination of Water Breathing, Night Vision, and Haste, all provided by a conduit. Despite its ability to prevent drowning, it doesn't stack with Water Breathing, which means if the player has both effects, the Water Breathing will still tick down. This can be a problem with turtle shells.

---

Dolphin's Grace‌^{[Java Edition only]}

Sources	Dolphin
Particle	#88A3BE (rock blue)

Increases hunger.

Effect

Increases food exhaustion by 0.005 × level per game tick (removes per 80/level seconds if target has no saturation).

Instant Damage

Instant Damage

Sources	Arrow of Harming Potion of Harming
Particle	#430A09 (maroon)

Damages entities, heals undead.

Effect

Instantly inflicts damage of 3 () × 2^level.

Undead mobs (including the wither) are healed as if with Instant Health instead. Death is reported as "<player> was killed by magic". If the effect is forced to last longer than 1 tick, it will damage entities every tick. Levels 30–32 provide no damage. Amplifiers outside the range 0–31 (corresponding to levels 1–32) are used modulo 32.

See also:  § Poison and  § Wither

Instant Health

See also: Healing and Health

Instant Health

Sources	Arrow of Healing Potion of Healing
Particle	#F82423 (red)

Heals entities, damages undead.

Effect

Instantly heals 2 () × 2^level.

Undead mobs (including the wither) are damaged as if with Instant Damage, instead. If the effect is forced to last longer than one tick, it will heal entities every tick. Levels 30–32 provide no healing. Amplifiers outside the range 0–31 (corresponding to levels 1–32) are used modulo 32.

Invisibility

Invisibility

Sources	Arrow of Invisibility Potion of Invisibility
Particle	#7F8392 (light gray)

The visible parts of a decorated llama, an enderman, a saddled pig, a shulker, a charged creeper and a spider.

Grants invisibility.

Effect

Causes the mob to disappear (except for bosses).

Certain features of entities do not disappear:

Feature	Visibility
Armor, held items, stuck arrows, any particles emitted, a shulker's yellow head, the eyes of cave spiders, endermen/phantoms/spiders' eyes, a llama's carpet decoration, a pig's saddle and the aura of a charged creeper.	Visible
Horse saddles and horse armor.	Invisible

Notes

Mobs will not attack or sense the player until the player is much closer than normal. A player with no armor will be detected at 7% of the usual detection distance. Any single piece of armor increases this to 17.5% of the usual distance, and each additional piece increases this by another 17.5%. After detecting the player, a mob will continue to follow as it does when the player is not invisible.

Additional methods of reducing detection by mobs include:

• Sneaking reduces the detection range to 80% of usual, and stacks with Invisibility.
• Wearing the corresponding mob head reduces the detection range of skeletons, zombies, and creepers to 50% of usual, and stacks with Invisibility.

Players in Spectator mode will see invisible entities as translucent instead.

Jump Boost

Jump Boost

Sources	Arrow of Leaping Beacon Potion of Leaping Suspicious Stew‌[upcoming: JE 1.14] (crafted from a Cornflower)
Particle	#22FF4C (bright green)

Increases jump height and reduces fall damage.

Effect

Increases jump height. Reduces fall damage by 1 () each level.

The player can normally jump up a distance of 1 ¹⁄₄ blocks. With Jump Boost I, that increases to 1 ¹⁵⁄₁₆ blocks, and with Jump Boost II, that increases to 2 ¹⁄₂ blocks.

Negative levels decrease jump height and increase fall damage (which also causes the player to start taking damage from short falls that would normally do no damage); extreme negative levels will eliminate all jumping ability and will cause damage even when stepping off a slab.

Notes

When at max level, jumping will not be changed, but a player will never take fall damage.

At level 16, the increased height exceeds the damage reduction, causing fall damage on landing.

---

Levitation

Levitation

Sources	Shulker
Particle	#CEFFFF (sky blue)

Floats entities.

Effect

Causes the affected entity to float upwards at a rate of 0.9×level blocks per second.

Does not affect swimming or flying. Prevents the use of elytra, but the effects do not show if the player is already gliding. Negative levels cause the entity to float downwards, overriding the usual falling due to gravity; level 0 (amplifier 255) makes falling, jumping and ascending stairs impossible. Fall damage is not affected.

Notes

Additional methods of moving upwards include: flying with elytra and jumping on a slime block.

---

Luck

Luck‌^{[Java and Legacy Console editions only]}

Sources	Arrow of Luck Potion of Luck
Particle	#339900 (avocado green)

Increases chances of high-quality and more loot.

Effect

Adds 1 × level to attribute generic.luck, making loot table entries with a high quality score more likely, and entries with negative quality less likely. It also increases the chances of bonus_rolls occurring. Currently, only fishing uses quality. The new weight of each entry is floor(base_weight + quality * generic.luck).

Negative levels decrease luck.

Notes

Using a fishing rod enchanted with Luck of the Sea increases a player's generic.luck attribute, but doesn't actually grant the Luck status effect.

This status effect is exclusive to the Java and Legacy Console editions.

Attack speed decreases by 10% × level.

Negative levels increase attack speed, but still act as level 4 with respect to mining.

Damage is suppressed while the player or mob is already at health, but can resume if healing occurs before the effect expires. Amplifiers outside the range 0–31 (corresponding to levels 1–32) are treated modulo 32 (as though reduced by 32 until they are within the range, or alternatively as the remainder from division by 32, i.e. 33 will be treated as 1.)

Slow Falling

Slow Falling

Notes

If the player is sprinting while having this effect, they are able to jump across a nearly 6 block gap, compared to 4 blocks normally.

Unboosted elytra flight will be twice as efficient, but four times slower. Boosts work at normal speed, but the momentum gained doesn't last as long.

History

Java Edition Beta
1.8			?		The first 19 status effects have been introduced, 8 of which are nonfunctional. No potions are added yet, so the only effects that are obtainable are Regeneration (golden apples), Hunger (raw chicken and rotten flesh), and Poison (cave spiders).
Java Edition
1.0.0			Beta 1.9 Prerelease 2		Potions have been added, but are unobtainable without inventory editing. All effects can appear on potions, but Invisibility and Night Vision still do not function.
					Drinking milk will now clears all status effects.
			Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3		Potions have been revamped and made obtainable. As part of this, 8 effects no longer exist as potions and have become unused.
1.3.1			12w21a		An enchanted golden apple made from blocks of gold has been added, and induced, among others, the formerly unused Resistance status effect.
			12w26a		Monster spawners can now be customized using third-party world editors and set to spawn mobs with status effects.
1.4.2			12w32a		Night Vision will now function, and a potion and splash potion of Night Vision have been implemented and added to Creative mode.
					Beacons have been added (to Creative only) and can be used to give status effects to players around them. Several effects without a potion can now be induced, including the formerly unused Haste and Jump Boost effects.

Trivia

• If the player puts Blindness and Night Vision together, the screen will turn black and only the sun and moon will be visible (except in rainstorms or thunderstorms).
• The maximum health the player can achieve using Health Boost and Absorption is 2068 (1034 hearts).
• If the player gets max health using the method above, and adds Regeneration with the level of 255, while healing to 1034 hearts, their view will jolt, even in Creative mode, as if they are taking damage.
• If the player has at least Resistance 5, then they are practically invincible (apart from the /kill command and the void).
  • If the player has Regeneration 7 or higher, the void cannot kill them.
• The Wither effect is the only negative effect that can negatively affect both living and undead mobs.
• The Jump Boost status effect does not make slimes, magma cubes or guardians jump higher.
• Speed allows slimes to jump farther. High levels of speed can make slimes bounce out of view with just one jump.
• The Levitation status effect will normally rise the player into the air. However, if they go into water, they will just flow along with the water, while not floating.
• When having multiple status effects, the status effects' timer's seconds will always be reduced by 1 each simultaneously regardless when the player takes another potion. This is because they use the same "seconds counter" that "ticks" every 20 game ticks to save memory. For example, if the player drinks one potion and another potion (which is different, so that it doesn't reset the timer) 5.5 (or any non-integer amounts) seconds later, both status effects' timers will subtract 1 second from both of them simultaneously.
• The player can walk/run while having the Levitation effect, especially on level 254.
• Although the Wither effect is given to the player by being hit by wither skeletons or the wither, the icon shows a normal skeleton head instead of a wither skeleton head.
• Using /effect <player> minecraft:levitation <time in seconds> 255 will make the player fly in Survival and not jump, when the effect is over in Survival when in midair, hitting the ground will cause them to shoot into the air, then the player will most likely die.
• When a creeper has a status effect and explodes, it leaves a lingering potion cloud of the effect(s) that it had before it died.
• The Conduit Power status icon reuses the old heart of the sea texture.
