Darkness Effect

Darkness Effect

Apply the Warden's pulsing darkness

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Applies the Darkness effect for 60 seconds — the same pulsing, world-dimming blindness a Warden or sculk shrieker inflicts. Unlike Blindness, the darkness throbs in waves, which makes it perfect for horror-map atmosphere.
