Background

The Jump Boost effect is a status effect that lets you jump higher in the game.

But remember that the higher you jump, the farther you fall to the ground. So if you give yourself Jump Boost using the /effect command, you might find that you take fall damage each time after jumping.

TIP: In Java Edition, you will take fall damage after jumping with Jump Boost 16 or higher.

There are levels of Jump Boost such as Jump Boost II, Jump Boost III, Jump Boost IV and so on. The higher the level of Jump Boost, the higher you will be able to jump in the game.

When the Jump Boost effect wears off, the icon and particle effects will disappear. You will be back to your normal status.

Duration

Depending on how you get the effect, the duration of the Jump Boost effect will be different. To see how much time is remaining for the effect, go to your inventory menu.

In this example, it says 4:30 under Jump Boost so this means that there is 4 minutes and 30 seconds remaining of the Jump Boost effect.

TIP: Although you can go up to 255 for the amplifier for Jump Boost, Minecraft might not behave as expected so be careful. An amplifier too high and you won't jump properly. We have successfully tried an amplifier as high as 127 which gives you Jump Boost 128. But don't try this in Survival mode or you will find yourself jumping above the clouds and then dying when you land.
