Icon and Particle Effects
When you have the Regeneration effect, the following icon will appear in the top right corner of your screen (in older versions of Minecraft, the effect icons only appears when you are viewing the inventory menu):
You will also see particle effects floating around you. In the latest version of Minecraft, these particle effects will be pink.
When the Regeneration 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 Regeneration effect will be different. To see how much time is remaining for the effect, go to your inventory menu.
In this example, it says 4:25 under Regeneration so this means that there is 4 minutes and 25 seconds remaining of the Regeneration effect.
