Effect

Some effects found in the game.

An effect (also known as a mob effect or status effect) is a condition that affects an entity, either negatively, positively, or neutrally. Effects can be inflicted in various ways throughout the game, including consuming potions and some food items, being in the range of active beacons and conduits, and being attacked by or close to certain mobs.

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

Behavior

Entities inflicted by an effect are affected in various ways for an amount of time. For most effects, higher levels increase the strength of the effect. As long as the effect is active, effect-dependent particles emanate from the position of the inflicted entity. Effects provided by beacons and conduits emit semitransparent particles.

An example of an effect displayed in the inventory.

In Java Edition, a player can open their inventory to see any current effects afflicted upon them, as well as the levels and duration of each. In Bedrock Edition, effects are displayed in a separate screen, which can be opened by pressing Z on a keyboard, pressing /// on a controller, or tapping the effect icon when using touch controls.

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

In Java Edition, when a stronger version of an effect is applied to an entity that already has a weaker version of the same effect, the weaker effect remains, but is hidden. The weaker effect returns after the stronger effect expires, if the weaker effect has a longer duration. In Bedrock Edition, when a stronger effect overrides a weaker effect, the weaker effect is deleted and does not return.

A player can remove all of their effects by either drinking a milk bucket, dying, or being saved from death by a totem of undying. Poison can also be removed by drinking a honey bottle.

Any damage dealt by effects is classified as magic damage and completely bypasses armor, making it effective at harming highly-armored targets. However, the Protection enchantment does reduce the damage taken from effects.

Effect list

In Java Edition, positive effects have blue text in potion information and are displayed on the upper row of effects in the HUD, while negative effects have red potion text and are displayed in the bottom row. Neutral effects have the blue potion text and are listed with the negative effects in the bottom row in the heads up display. If the effect is a beacon effect, then it also has a blue outline. In Bedrock Edition, negative effect names in potion and tipped arrow tooltips are shown in red; positive and neutral effect names in these contexts, and all effect names in the "Mob effects" screen, are shown in white.

Effect colors

Each effect has an associated color, used to represent it in particles, potions, and tipped arrows. If a potion or tipped arrow stores multiple effects (such as potion/arrow of the Turtle Master, or a custom potion created via commands in Java Edition), the colors of each effect are blended together. Likewise, in Bedrock Edition, particles of entities affected by multiple effects blend the colors of all active effects; in Java Edition, however, particles for each effect are displayed separately.

Immunity

Effects can only be applied to living entities. Witches have natural protection against all damage from effects, taking 85% less damage from effects in Java Edition and 95% less in Bedrock Edition. Additionally, certain entities are completely immune to some or all effects:

• The ender dragon, the wither, NPCs and the agent are immune to all effects.
• Undead mobs are immune to Regeneration and Poison.
• Wither skeletons are immune to the Wither effect, as well as Regeneration and Poison.
• Spiders and cave spiders are immune to Poison and Weaving.
• Trial chambers mobs are immune to Trial Omen.
• Illagers are immune to Raid Omen.
• Slimes are immune to Oozing.
• Silverfish are immune to Infested.
• Breezes are immune to Wind Charged.

Issues

Issues relating to "Effect" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

• When having multiple effects, the effects' timers are reduced by 1 second each simultaneously, regardless of when the player took each 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 different potion that doesn't reset the timer 5.5 (or any non-integer amounts) seconds later, both effects' timers subtract 1 second from both of them simultaneously.
• When a creeper has an effect and explodes in Java Edition, it leaves an area effect cloud for each effect that it had before it exploded.
• Drinking a potion of Leaping II, a potion of Slow Falling, and a potion of Swiftness II, the player can jump a 9 block gap.
• Effects shown on the HUD disappear when the player is in a GUI.
