Minecraft:Mining Fatigue

Mining Fatigue is an Minecraft:effect that reduces Minecraft:mining efficiency and Minecraft:attack speed, opposite to Minecraft:Haste.

Effect

Attack speed

The effect decreases Minecraft:attack speed by 10% per level. For the in-game default level III, attack speed decreases by 30%.

Mining speed

The Minecraft:mining speed is reduced to 0.3^level of the normal mining speed. However, due to a bug Template:Bug, increasing the effect level from II to III reduces the mining speed by a factor of 0.03, not 0.3. Thus, for the in-game default level III, the speed is reduced to 0.0027× of normal speed, taking 370 times longer than usual to break a block with its proper tool.

	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5	Level 6	Level 7	Level 8	Level 9	Level 10+
Attack speed	90%	80%	70%	60%	50%	40%	30%	20%	10%	0%
Mining speed	30% (3.3×)	9% (11.1×)	0.27% (370×)	0.081% (1235×)	0.081% (1235×)	0.081% (1235×)	0.081% (1235×)	0.081% (1235×)	0.081% (1235×)	0.081% (1235×)

Template:In, levels higher than 4 work like level 4 for the purposes of calculating mining speed. However, attack speed can still decrease, all the way to 0% at level 10.

While afflicted, a player can still Minecraft:craft and ride entities as usual, but cannot remove most vehicles due to how slowly the vehicle can be broken.

The affliction is cured by drinking Minecraft:milk, although milk does not prevent a subsequent affliction by an elder guardian, which can happen within a few secondsTemplate:Only or immediately.Template:Only Minecraft:Axolotls can also remove this effect, if the player helps an axolotl kill a mob while an axolotl was battling that mob.

Causes

Mining Fatigue being inflicted by an elder guardian

The only natural cause of Mining Fatigue is from affliction by an Minecraft:elder guardian, when player is close to it and the only natural effect level is III. Other levels can be achieved via Minecraft:commands.

Template:IN, once per minute, elder guardians in the vicinity search for any player within 50 blocks to afflict with Mining Fatigue III. A player cannot defend from this attack. Concealment behind blocks, underground, or by a Minecraft:potion of Invisibility offers no defense.

Template:IN, elder guardians within range afflict Mining Fatigue III immediately. Drinking Minecraft:milk to remove the effect results in re-infliction immediately after drinking the milk.

Cause	Potency	Length	Notes
Template:EntityLink	III	5:00	Only when the player is not already affected.

Immune mobs

• All Minecraft:mobs are unaffected by Mining fatigue as they cannot mine blocks.

Notes
