Type

Positive

Resistance is a status effect that reduces incoming damage.

Effect

Resistance reduces incoming damage by 20% × level from all sources except for starvation, the void, and /kill.

Resistance is applied only to the remaining damage after all other damage reductions (armor and enchantments), but before rounding down to a whole number. This means any equipped armor pieces still lose the usual amount of durability, even at level 5+ where the potion effect grants complete immunity to most sources.

Immune mobs

  • Withers and ender dragons are immune to Resistance.
  • Creakings that spawn from creaking heart are unaffected by resistance because they are already 100% resistant to all type of damage, While the creakings spawned from a spawn egg or using commands are still affected by this effect.
