Minecraft:Commands/effect

Adds or removes the Minecraft:status effects of Minecraft:players and other Minecraft:entities.

Usage

Template:IN, if a target already has a status effect with the same id, a new effect only with a longer duration or a higher amplifier can be added.

• If the new effect has a higher amplifier and a shorter duration, the original effect is hidden.
• If the new effect has a lower amplifier and a longer duration, the new effect is hidden.
  • If their "hideParticles" values are different, the active effect's value is set to the specified value.
• Otherwise, the original active effect is replaced by the new effect, without changing hidden effects.

Only if the active effect is changed does the command succeed, no matter whether the hidden effects are changed or not.

Template:IN, if a target already has the status effect, a new status effect with the same amplifier overrides the old duration if it is longer, but a new status effect with a higher amplifier overrides any previous effect.

Template:IN, no matter whether the new effect can override the original effect, "hideParticles" value is always applied.

Template:IN, if the player uses an NBT editor to get negative levels of effects, the level of the effect jumps to 255 instead.
