Minecraft:Instant Damage: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:07, 24 August 2026

Instant Damage inflicts magic Minecraft:damage of Template:Hp × 2^level. Minecraft:Undead mobs are healed as if with Minecraft:Instant Health instead. Minecraft:Death is reported as "<player> was killed by magic". When applied using a Minecraft:lingering potion, damage is inflicted every second. As this is magic damage, it can be decreased only via Minecraft:Resistance and Minecraft:Protection.

Instant Damage has its duration set in game ticks (instead of seconds) with the Template:Cmd command.
