The icon for the Slowness effect.
Slowness is a Status Effect that affects a Player's movement speed, causing them to move slower than normal. The higher the level of the effect, the slower a player will move. If the effect is strong enough, a player will not be able to move whatsoever, other than by Jumping or "rotating". A player's field of vision will decrease while this effect is active.
Like all status effects, it can be removed by drinking Milk.
Source[]
- Drinking a Potion of slowness (including a Witch's slowness splash potion).
- Getting shot by Arrows of Slowness (including those fired by a Stray).
- Drinking a Potion of the Turtle Master.
Similar Effect[]
Spiders, Cave Spiders, Endermites, and Silverfish will get slowness when struck by a sword that is enchanted with Bane of Arthropods.
Opposite Effect[]
The Swiftness status effect makes the user move faster for a short time. Because of this, swiftness and slowness can be considered as opposing effects, since they affect a player in the exact opposite way. However, the two effects do not cancel each other out. A player with the maximum slowness effect will still be stuck in place, regardless of whether they also have a swiftness effect.
