'''Bad Luck''', also known as '''Unluck''', is a [[Minecraft:status effect]] found exclusively {{in|Java}} and {{LCE}} that decreases the chance of the player getting high-quality loot, contrary to [[Minecraft:Luck]].

== Effect ==
Bad Luck subtracts the effects level from the [[Minecraft:Attribute#Luck|luck attribute]], which affects the results of [[Minecraft:loot table]]s, with a lower attribute value decreasing the amount and quality of results.

The number of rolls is increased by the [[Minecraft:Loot table#Pool|pools]] "bonus rolls"-value times this attributes value, rounded down, and the weight of each [[Minecraft:Loot table#Entry|entry]] is increased by its quality times this attributes value, also rounded down.

Quality is currently only used by [[Minecraft:Fishing]].

== Causes ==
Bad Luck can only be obtained using [[Minecraft:commands]]. The {{cmd|effect}} command can apply it directly to an [[Minecraft:Entity]] or [[Minecraft:Player]], or you can obtain a Potion, Splash Potion, Lingering Potion, or Tipped Arrow using {{Cmd|give}}, although it will be referred to as an [[Minecraft:Uncraftable Potion]].

== Immune mobs ==
* [[Minecraft:Wither]]s and [[Minecraft:ender dragon]]s are immune to Bad luck.
* All [[Minecraft:mob]]s are unaffected by Bad luck.
