How to Use the /effect Command in Minecraft
Basic Command Syntax
/effect give <target> <effect> [duration] [amplifier] [hideParticles]
- <target> — the player or entity to which the effect is applied.
- <effect> — the name or ID of the effect.
- [duration] — the duration of the effect in seconds (default is 30).
- [amplifier] — the level of the effect (default is 1).
- [hideParticles] — a flag (true/false) that hides the effect particles.
Usage Examples
- Apply a speed effect to yourself:
/effect give @p minecraft:speed 60 2
- Remove all effects from a player:
/effect clear @p
Differences Between give and clear
- /effect give — applies an effect.
- /effect clear — removes all effects from the specified target.
How to Remove a Specific Effect
To remove a specific effect, use the following command:
/effect clear @p <effect_ID>
Example:
/effect clear @p minecraft:speed
This command will remove the speed effect from the nearest player.
Important Nuances of Using Effects
- If you apply a very high level of the jump_boost effect, for example
/effect give @p minecraft:jump_boost 99999 255
, the player will be unable to jump due to the excessive strength of the effect. When using the speed effect at an excessively high level, the player may move so fast that chunks cannot load in time, causing issues with world rendering.
