Blindness is a status effect that impairs a player's vision and prevents sprinting and critical hits. It has no potion, but it can be obtained by consuming suspicious stew made with an azure bluet or open eyeblossom.
Blindness impairs a player's vision by surrounding them with a thick black fog, with only the immediate area around them being visible. With Vibrant Visuals, all directional light sources are disabled, making the scene appear as in a cave. All fog types apart from default air fog still use their colors.
The effect also prevents the player from sprinting or inflicting critical hits. However, in Bedrock Edition, it does not stop an ongoing sprint.
The effect can be removed by drinking milk. In Minecraft Education and Bedrock Edition when education options are enabled, drinking eye drops also removes blindness.
Blindness has no effect on mobs. This can be observed in Survival by having a fox eat suspicious stew made with an azure bluet or open eyeblossom.
Wardens are naturally blind and instead rely on detection via vibrations, smell and touch. This form of blindness is completely independent from the Blindness effect.
