Poison

Poison inflicts damage over time, reducing the player's health to, but cannot kill. It can be received from various mobs and items.

It can be cured by drinking milk, a honey bottle or an antidote.

Effect
The amount of damage inflicted to the affected entity is shown in the table below:

The player's hearts turn yellow-green ( on hardcore mode).

The damage stops when the affected entity is at health, but can resume if healing occurs and the effected entity is at more than  health before the effect expires.

Amplifiers outside the range 0–31 (corresponding to levels 1–32) are treated modulo 32 (as though reduced by 32 until they are within the range, or alternatively as the remainder from division by 32, i.e. 33 or 65 is treated as 1).

Immune mobs
Boss mobs, undead mobs, spiders, and cave spiders are unaffected by Poison. Witches are 85% resistant to damage from Poison / fully immune.
