Example of how to use a Harmful Effect

You can give a player an effect (ie: potion effect) that is harmful by using the /effect command.

For example, you can use the /effect command to give the player DigMinecraft the effect called Mining Fatigue for 30 seconds:

/effect DigMinecraft mining_fatigue 30 60

In this example, mining_fatigue is the name of the effect, 30 is the number of seconds that the effect will last, and 60 is the amplifier.

You could also have used the ID value to add the effect:

/effect DigMinecraft 4 30 60

Both commands would result in DigMinecraft having the Mining Fatigue effect for 30 seconds.
