Background

The Absorption effect is a status effect that adds yellow Absorption hearts to your health bar.

These Absorption hearts add extra health to your health bar, but can not be replenished with food. When the Absorption effect ends, all of the yellow Absorption hearts will disappear.

There are levels of Absorption such as Absorption II, Absorption III, Absorption IV and so on. The higher the level of Absorption, the more Absorption hearts you will get. In the lastest version of Minecraft, you will get 2 Absorption hearts per level. This means that you will get 2 yellow hearts with Absorption I, 4 yellow hearts with Absorption II, 6 yellow hearts with Absorption III and so on.

Icon and Particle Effects

When you have the Absorption effect, the following icon will appear in the top right corner of your screen (in older versions of Minecraft, the effect icons only appears when you are viewing the inventory menu):

You will see particle effects floating around you. In the latest version of Minecraft, these particle effects will be blue.

When the Absorption effect wears off, the icon, particle effects and Absorption hearts will disappear. You will be back to your normal status.

Duration

Depending on how you get the effect, the duration of the Absorption effect will be different. To see how much time is remaining for the effect, go to your inventory menu.

In this example, it says 1:30 under Absorption so this means that there is 1 minute and 30 seconds remaining of the Absorption effect.
