'''Blindness''' is a [[Minecraft:status effect]] that impairs a [[Minecraft:player]]'s vision and prevents [[Minecraft:sprinting]] and [[Minecraft:critical hit]]s. It has no [[Minecraft:potion]], but it can be obtained by consuming [[Minecraft:suspicious stew]] made with an [[Minecraft:azure bluet]] or [[Minecraft:open eyeblossom]].<br />
<br />
== Effect ==<br />
{{See also|Fog#Blindness and darkness}}<br />
[[File:Blindness View.png|thumb|right|The view from a player who is afflicted by blindness.]]<br />
Blindness impairs a player's vision by surrounding them with a thick black [[Minecraft:fog]], with only the immediate area around them being visible. With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], all directional light sources are disabled, making the scene appear as in a cave. All fog types apart from default air fog still use their colors.<br />
<br />
The effect also prevents the player from [[Minecraft:sprinting]] or inflicting [[Minecraft:critical hits]]. However, {{in|be}}, it does not stop an ongoing sprint.<br />
<br />
The effect can be removed by drinking [[Minecraft:milk]]. {{IN|education|bedrock}} when education options are enabled, drinking [[Minecraft:eye drops]] also removes blindness.<br />
<br />
Blindness has no effect on [[Minecraft:mob]]s. This can be observed in [[Minecraft:Survival]] by having a [[Minecraft:fox]] eat suspicious stew made with an azure bluet or open eyeblossom.<br />
<br />
[[Minecraft:Warden]]s are naturally blind and instead rely on detection via [[Minecraft:vibration]]s, smell and touch. This form of blindness is completely independent from the Blindness effect.<br />
