Remove effects
# Java
/effect clear @p
/effect clear @p minecraft:poison
# Bedrock
/effect @p clearThe first Java line removes everything; the second only Poison.
Level limits
The amplifier goes up to 255, but very high values can backfire. Extreme Jump Boost causes heavy fall damage on landing. Resistance at amplifier 4 (level V) blocks almost all damage.
Several effects at once
/effect adds one effect per command. Stack several lines, or build them in the effect command generator. To hand out a potion instead, see give potion.
Common questions
- Make an effect last forever? Use
infiniteas the duration. On versions without it, use a very large number such as 1000000. - Armor shows while invisible. Invisibility hides only the body; see the invisibility guide.
- Can mobs get effects? Yes, target them with
@e[type=zombie]and similar.
