Strength is a status effect which increases attack damage.

Effect

Increases melee damage by 3HP♥♥ × level in Java Edition. Negative levels decrease melee damage, with attacks being ignored entirely if damage would be 0 or lower.

In Bedrock Edition, melee damage under the Strength effect can be found through the equation BaseDamage×1.3level+1.3level−10.3, where BaseDamage is the default damage of whatever weapon or tool is used to attack.[1] Example for an iron sword:

  • Normal: 7HP♥♥♥♥
  • Level 1: 10.1HP♥ × 5.05
  • Level 2: 14.13HP♥ × 7.065

Strength does not increase the damage of ranged attacks.
