📖 Status Effects

Status Effects are temporary states that can be applied to players or mobs, altering their abilities and actions. These effects are managed by Fabled's internal flag system and can be applied through skills and mechanics.

This page also covers the Purge and Cleanse mechanics, which are used to remove these effects.

Positive Statuses

Positive statuses generally benefit the entity they are applied to, often providing defensive advantages.

Absorb

• Effect: Prevents all incoming damage and instead heals the entity for the amount of damage that would have been dealt.
• Flag Key: absorb

Invulnerable

• Effect: Sets the entity's underlying Minecraft invulnerability state to true, preventing most forms of damage. This is different from the invincible flag.
• Flag Key: invulnerable
