Fatal Poison inflicts damage to entities over time, and can kill both undead and non-undead mobs, similar to Wither. The effect is actually called "Poison," but its ID distinguishes it from the other Poison effect, which cannot kill. In Survival mode, the effect applies only to parrots (when you feed them a cookie) and is not obtainable by players.

Effect

The amount of damage inflicted on the affected entity is shown in the table below:

Level	Ticks per HP	HP per second
1	25	0.4
2	12	0.8
3	6	1.66
4	3	3.33
5+	1	10

The player's hearts turn yellow-green (HP × 10). 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 as the remainder from division by 32, i.e. 33 is treated as 1.)

Causes

Cause	Potency	Length	Notes
Cookie	I	16:40	Recipient must be a parrot

Immune mobs

Boss mobs and witches are unaffected by this status effect.

Death message

If the player is killed by Fatal Poison, the death message "<player> was killed by magic" appears, as when killed by a potion of Harming.
