op 2Entities

/effect applies a status effect for a number of seconds. The amplifier is offset by one — amplifier 0 is level I — which is the single most common reason an /effect command does not do what people expect.

Common questions about /effect

›Why is my Strength II command giving Strength III?

The amplifier starts at zero. Level I is amplifier 0, level II is amplifier 1. Passing 2 gives you level III.

›How do I make an effect permanent?

From 1.19.4, pass infinite as the duration. On older versions use 1000000 seconds, which is a bit under twelve days and the conventional stand-in.

›How do I hide the swirly particles?

Set the hide-particles flag to true. It is the last argument, so the duration and amplifier must both be given as well.
