Behavior
Any entities inflicted by a status effect will be affected in various ways for an amount of time. During the effect, swirly particles emanate from the position of the inflicted entity. Players can open their inventory "GUI" redirects here. For items like health bars and crosshairs, see Heads-up display. Inventory pop up screen A filled and sorted inventory Chest inventory The inventory is the pop-up menu that the player uses to 
to see any current status effects afflicted upon them, as well as its strength and duration. The level of the effect determines its power. The higher the level, the stronger the effect is.
Internally, and in the /effect command Contents 1 Usage 1.1 Tilde notation 1.2 Target selectors 1.2.1 Target selector variables 1.2.2 Target selector arguments 1.3 Data tags 1.4 Raw JSON text 1.5 Block/item names 2 Summary of commands 3 List of commands and potion Amplifier NBT tags, the game stores an "amplifier" value rather than the level. The amplifier is one less than the level, for example Strength II has an amplifier of 1.
Due to the way this amplifier is stored in NBT, amplifiers of 128 to 255 (levels 129 to 256) in NBT tags (e.g. on potions) are treated as if they were −128 to −1 (levels −127 to 0) respectively.

Any number of different status effects can be simultaneously active on a player, even in the case of opposing effects, such as Strength and Weakness. Be that as it may, it is not possible to apply the same effect multiple times, even if the effects are of different levels (e.g. Strength and Strength II cannot both be active at the same time). In the event of applying an effect already active on the player, the new version of the effect overwrites the old effect, giving a new level and full duration, if the new effect is of equal or greater level.
Note that even with commands, effects cannot be made to last forever. If an effect is set to an excessively large amount of time, such as 182 hours 655200 seconds, it will display as "**:**", but will still continue ticking down and eventually expire.

- Notes
- Mobs will not attack/sense the player until the player is much closer than normal. A player with no armor will be detected at 7% of the usual detection distance. Any one piece of armor increases this to 17.5% of the usual distance, and each additional piece increases this by another 17.5 percentage points. After detecting the player, a mob will continue to follow as it does when the player is not invisible.
- Additional methods of reducing detection by mobs include:
- Sneaking reduces the detection range to 80% of usual, and stacks with Invisibility.
- Wearing the corresponding mob head reduces the detection range of skeletons, zombies, and creepers to half of usual, and stacks with Invisibility.
- Players in Spectator mode see invisible entities as translucent instead.
