  • Method Details

    • serialize

      @NotNull public Map<String,Object> serialize()
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurationSerializable
      Creates a Map representation of this class.

      This class must provide a method to restore this class, as defined in the ConfigurationSerializable interface javadocs.

      Specified by:
      serialize in interface ConfigurationSerializable
      Returns:
      Map containing the current state of this class
    • apply

      public boolean apply(@NotNull LivingEntity entity)
      Attempts to add the effect represented by this object to the given LivingEntity.
      Parameters:
      entity - The entity to add this effect to
      Returns:
      Whether the effect could be added
      See Also:
    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object obj)
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
    • getAmplifier

      public int getAmplifier()
      Returns the amplifier of this effect. A higher amplifier means the potion effect happens more often over its duration and in some cases has more effect on its target.
      Returns:
      The effect amplifier
    • getDuration

      public int getDuration()
      Returns the duration (in ticks) that this effect will run for when applied to a LivingEntity.
      Returns:
      The duration of the effect, or -1 if this effect is infinite
      See Also:
    • isInfinite

      public boolean isInfinite()
      Returns whether or not this potion effect has an infinite duration. Potion effects with infinite durations will display an infinite symbol and never expire unless manually removed.
      Returns:
      whether this duration is infinite or not
    • isShorterThan

      public boolean isShorterThan(@NotNull PotionEffect other)
      Returns whether or not this potion effect has a shorter duration than the provided potion effect.

      An infinite duration is considered longer than non-infinite durations. If both potion effects have infinite durations, then neither is shorter than the other and this method will return false.

      Parameters:
      other - the other effect
      Returns:
      true if this effect is shorter than the other, false if longer or equal
    • getType

      @NotNull public PotionEffectType getType()
      Returns the PotionEffectType of this effect.
      Returns:
      The potion type of this effect
    • isAmbient
