Minecraft:Weakness

Template:Infobox effect Weakness is an Minecraft:effect that decreases melee attack damage. It is required to cure Minecraft:zombie villagers.

Effect

Melee damage inflicted by the affected entity is reduced by Template:Hp × level Template:In. Negative levels increase melee Minecraft:damage dealt.

Template:IN, melee damage under the Weakness effect can be found through the equation <math>BaseDamage\times0.8^{level}+{0.8^{level}-1\over0.4}</math> where <math>BaseDamage</math> is the default attack damage with whatever weapon or tool is used to attack.<ref group=note>Background for the new equation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GtZ9ceTfVGbEkKkbZAfzpKKGk2FQ0FwmeUyw5ja14B8/edit?usp=sharing</ref><ref group="note">To find the damage when Minecraft:Strength and Weakness are applied at the same time, first calculate the damage with the Strength formula, then plug that in as the "<math>BaseDamage</math>" in this Weakness formula.</ref>

Attacks that deal Template:Hp or less due to Weakness will fail to connect entirely, making them do no knockback. However, by use of damage-increasing enchantments such as Minecraft:Sharpness, Minecraft:Smite, Minecraft:Bane of Arthropods, or Minecraft:Impaling, attacks will always connect. This effect is also used to cure Minecraft:zombie villagers, preceding the Minecraft:golden apple. The effect can be removed by drinking Minecraft:milk. Template:IN when education options are enabled, drinking Minecraft:elixir also removes Weakness.

Exceptions

Weakness does not affect the damage of Minecraft:spear charge attacks,<ref>Template:Cite bug</ref><ref>Template:Cite bug</ref> or the damage of Minecraft:ranged attacks.
