|---|---|---|
| Poison, Wither, Hunger, Weakness | Mobs, potions, food | Damage-over-time and stat drains |
| Slowness, Mining Fatigue, Nausea, Blindness, Darkness | Guardians, warden, pufferfish | Control and sensory debuffs |
| Bad Omen → Raid Omen | Kill a raid captain near a village | Triggers a raid |
| Trial Omen | Bad Omen near a trial chamber | Ominous trials — harder spawners, better loot |
| Levitation | Shulker projectiles | Float upward — the end-city hazard |

Where effects come from
- Brewing — 17 effects via the brewing stand chains
- Beacons — Speed, Haste, Resistance, Jump Boost, Strength (+ Regen at tier 4)
- Items — totem of undying grants Regeneration + Absorption + Fire Resistance on death-save; enchanted gapples grant the same plus Resistance
- Mobs — shulkers (levitation), wardens and shriekers (darkness), elder guardians (mining fatigue), dolphins (grace)
- Milk — clears everything; honey clears only poison
The effect registry also holds Instant Health, Instant Damage, Saturation, Health Boost, Luck, and Bad Luck — they have no duration (or aren’t survival-obtainable), so the advancement ignores them.
