Java Edition:Bad Luck Effect
The bad luck effect is a status effect which is normally unobtainable in survival mode, and decreases the chances of a bonus_roll and the quality of items obtained from loot tables.
Obtaining
The only methods of obtaining the bad luck effect is through commands. The bad luck effect can be applied to most mobs, but only functions when applied to the player. The only loot tables to use quality are fishing loot tables, the lower quality an item has the less likely it is for the player to fish it up.
23w13a_or_b Votes
The April Fools' version 23w13a_or_b introduced several methods to obtain normally unobtainable items and effects.
- The
perma_effectvote, when applied, will permanently grant all players an effect between level I (1) and VI (6).
The perma_effect vote allows all players to receive the bad luck effect with an amplifier between I (1) and VI (6) for an infinite amount of time. This can be combined with the Bottle of Void item (unique to this version) to turn these effects into potions, these potions can then be updated out of 23w13a_or_b and be used to apply the effect for an infinite amount of time, however attempting to brew these potions into splash potions will cause the potion to convert into an splash uncraftable potion.
