While afflicted, a player can still Minecraft:craft and ride entities, 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.
