Particle	#E49A3A (amber)
Type	Positive

Fire Resistance nullifies most fire-based damage. Fire Resistance is a status effect that does not change its power as its potency changes.

What it looks like inside lava using Fire Resistance in Java Edition.

Effects

Grants immunity to damage from fire, blaze fireballs, fire charges, magma blocks, and lava, but not ghast fireballs and blaze touch attacks. Negates the fire damage from bows enchanted with Flame and swords enchanted with Fire Aspect, but does not affect the attacks themselves. The fog effect under lava is also mitigated somewhat. Players also see better under lava when they have the Fire Resistance effect. In Bedrock Edition, the view with the effect is stronger than in Java Edition. Fire Resistance also prevents the fire itself from covering the player's screen. ‌^{[BE only]}

Immune mobs

All boss mobs are immune to this status effect.

Mobs that are immune to fire, such as blazes, are unaffected.

Most Nether mobs (excluding endermen, skeletons, piglins, piglin brutes, and hoglins) are naturally resistant to fire and lava without requiring the Fire Resistance status effect.
