In Minecraft, status effects are abilities that can be placed on players to either help them or harm them. Status effects can come from drinking potions, beacons, or from mobs that can inflict them on players.

These effects can last from anywhere between a couple seconds, to a few minutes. It is possible for players to be under multiple different effects at one time. All status effects can be removed by drinking milk, however.

Most status effects can be applied using potions. Below in this article, players will see a list of all the status effects, what they do, and how to get them in Minecraft!
