Talk:Instant Damage

When it's worded that it is "an instant status effect that decreases health for living mobs, and heals the undead" it is later worded below that it "instantly inflicts damage of 3xLvL" it does not say that it "deals" or "dealt" damage. This is fine because the wording of "Inflict" is supposed to imply that it ignores all damage reduction given by the defense points & toughness points of armor.

That's fine, but it is in no way intuitive. It should clarify that the defense points & armor toughness of a victim are entirely bypassed, but also that the armor enchantment "Protection" applies to Instant Damage.

Why is there so much broken english in the "effect" section?

Because the person who wrote it doesn't know English. If it doesn't make sense to anyone, it isn't useful. So I removed it. Amatulic (talk) 03:20, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

In Java edition, wither is immune to instant damage, but in Bedrock edition, withers can be healed by instant damage 2406:5A00:C01D:EB01:68E5:679:7A6B:FD74 01:22, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Withers are also healed by instant damage in Java, at least when using splash potions of Harming. Although, trying to use /effect to apply Instant Harming or Instant Health does display an error message: "Unable to apply this effect (target is either immune to effects, or has something stronger)".
