Minecraft Potion & Effect IDs List

Ever wanted to give yourself potion status effects without actually using a potion? Now you can! Minecraft has a special command for giving these effects to yourself or any targetable object.

Minecraft Effect Command

When playing on a Minecraft world with cheats enabled, you will be able to use the /effect command. This command allows you to apply any of the above effects to yourself, or any entity.

The basic command is fairly simple as you probably saw earlier in the guide! However, it comes with a few extra optional parameters too. These will allow you to modify the given effect further.

Key: <required_param>, [optional_param]

/effect give <entity/player> <effect_name> [seconds] [amplifier] [particles]

• <entity/player> – You can enter a player’s name here, or a target selector for NPCs.
• <effect_name> – Enter the Effect Name as listed in the chart above here for your desired effect.
• [seconds] – How long you wish for the effect to last, in seconds. You can enter a value up to 1,000,000 here.
• [amplifier] – Choose the level of the effect. Must be between 0 and 255.
• [particles] – Choose whether you want the effect particles to be displayed on the player or not. Enter true/false here.

You can remove effects from players or entities too! To do so, use the following command:

/effect clear <entity/player> [effect_name]

If you do not specify the Effect Name that you want to clear, the command will remove all effects on this player or entity.
