Milk and area effects
I'm a Bedrock Edition player. Regarding your recent change to Milk, I am curious what actually happens in Java Edition when you drink milk while in the affected area of a beacon or conduit. You say the benefits of the effect disappear; for example, you would start drowning if underwater near a conduit? What happens if you leave the area and return? Is the canceling effect of milk permanent?

I can see that milk would remove Hero of the Village, as that's an effect granted by a single event. However, conduits and beacons grant their effects continously in an affected volume of space around them, so I am skeptical that milk would remove the effect for more than a couple of game ticks. More information is needed in that Milk article, I think. Amatulic (talk) 05:31, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * "conduits and beacons grant their effects continously"
 * To be more specific: beacons and conduits grant their effects every few seconds. Beacons grant 9–17 seconds of the effect every four seconds and I think conduits grant 12 seconds of conduit power every two seconds. Drinking the milk removes the effect but the beacon/conduit will give the effect back whenever it normally gives its effect (e.g., finishing a milk bucket half a second after a beacon grants an effect to the player means the player will not have the effect for three-and-a-half seconds). It's like drinking milk while standing next to a dispenser that dispenses a splash potion onto you every few seconds. SLScool 15:41, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I see. It's kind of like Mining Fatigue inflicted by elder guardians then. I believe in Java Edition each elder guardian in range hits you at one minute intervals. In Bedrock Edition, the interval is much quicker - you get hit again by Mining Fatigue almost instantly after drinking milk; you get at most 1-2 seconds reprieve.
 * It's also possible that milk removes the effects of conduits and beacons just as briefly in Bedrock Edition. I'll have to check that when I get home from work, and I'll revise the milk article accordingly. I wouldn't be surprised if Bedrock and Java worked the same with respect to milk, with the only difference being the interval before the effect is restored. Amatulic (talk) 17:11, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Update: I tested this in Bedrock Edition, and I confirmed that it behaves the same as Java Edition, in that milk removes all status effects immediately, including Hero of the Village. Like Java Edition, the effects from conduits and beacons are quickly restored, although faster in Bedrock (almost immediately for conduits, and after at most a couple seconds for beacons). I have modified the article. Amatulic (talk) 03:22, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
