Instant Health is an instant status effect that increases health for players and living mobs and damages the undead.
Effect
Instantly heals 2HP
× 2level or 3HP
× 2level.
Undead mobs (including the wither) are damaged as if with Instant Damage, instead. When applied using a lingering potion, the entity is healed every second. Levels 30–32 (amplifiers 29–31) provide no healing. Levels outside the range 1–32 (corresponding to amplifiers 0–31) are used modulo 32, making level 33 the same as level 1, etc.
