Effect



Status effects are various conditions that affects an entity, which can be either helpful or damaging. Status effects can be inflicted in various ways throughout the game, but are generally produced by potions.

The  command allows players to inflict effects upon themselves and other players.

Behavior
Any entities inflicted by a status effect will be affected in various ways for an amount of time. During the effect, swirly particles emanate from the position of the inflicted entity. Players can open their inventory to see any current status effects afflicted upon them, as well as its strength and duration. At the end of its duration, the effect completely wears off.

Any number of different status effects can be simultaneously active on a player, even in the case of opposing effects, such as Strength and Weakness. However, it is not possible to apply the same effect multiple times, even if the effects are of different levels (e.g. Strength and Strength II cannot both be active at the same time). In the event of applying an effect already active on the player, the new version of the effect overwrites the old effect, giving a new level and full duration, if the new effect is of equal or greater level.

All of these status effects can be removed by drinking milk or using  command with the time of the effect set to 0.
