All Status Effects in Minecraft (And How to Get Them)

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: Minecraft has 42 real status effects: combat boosts like Strength and Resistance, movement effects like Speed, Slow Falling and Levitation, utility effects like Haste, Water Breathing and Night Vision, and dangers like Poison, Wither and Darkness - plus raid omens and the new Breath of the Nautilus. Most come from potions, beacons, mobs or food.

What you need

A brewing stand for potion effects
A beacon for Speed, Haste, Resistance, Jump Boost or Strength
A conduit for Conduit Power

Step by step

Combat: Strength, Resistance, Regeneration, Absorption, Health Boost, Fire Resistance, Instant Health - and their dark mirrors Weakness, Poison, Wither, Instant Damage and the Bedrock-only Fatal Poison.
Movement: Speed, Jump Boost, Slow Falling, Dolphin's Grace, Levitation (shulkers), Slowness, and Freezing from powder snow.
Senses and stealth: Night Vision, Invisibility, Glowing, Blindness (illusioner/areas), Darkness (warden and sculk shriekers), Nausea.
Work: Haste and Mining Fatigue (elder guardians), Water Breathing, Conduit Power, and Breath of the Nautilus - the nautilus effect that freezes your oxygen bar.
Luck effects: Luck and Bad Luck (Java), Hero of the Village (cheaper trades after a raid win), Bad Omen (starts raids), Raid Omen and Trial Omen (1.21's ominous variants).
Trial chambers set: Wind Charged, Weaving, Oozing and Infestation - the four potion effects brewed from breeze rods, cobwebs, slime and stone that spawn effects on death.
Instant and hidden: Saturation and Instant Health/Damage act immediately; Glowing marks targets through walls.
How to get them: potions and tipped arrows for most, beacons for five, conduits underwater, suspicious stew for Saturation and more, mobs for the hostile ones, and the trial chambers' own potions for the newest four.

Java vs Bedrock

Breath of the Nautilus, Raid Omen and Trial Omen are the newest effects - the omens upgrade Bad Omen into harder raid and trial variants.

Versions: The full 42-effect list is current on Java and Bedrock as of 2026, excluding April Fools joke effects. Fatal Poison is Bedrock-only; Luck and Bad Luck are Java-only.

Hero of the Village (win a raid) and the trial chambers four (Wind Charged, Weaving, Oozing, Infestation) are the hardest to use deliberately; Bad Luck cannot be obtained without commands.

How do I remove an effect?

Drink milk - it clears every active effect, good and bad. Honey bottles clear only Poison.
