In Vanilla Minecraft 1.18, is there a way to give a specific player a status effect if they step within X blocks of an area? I need to give Mining Fatigue on a certain player when they enter my base.

After extensive searching I've looked at the command /effect give

/effect give playerName minecraft:absorption 5 5 true

and also /testfor, but that doesn't seem to work.

The effect should only happen when a certain player is within a certain radius of the command block.

This should work:

/effect give @a[name=playerName,distance=..radius] minecraft:absorption 5 5 true

  • This command will only give the effect to players with that name. You should've used @a[distance=..raidus] instead.

  • The question was asking for the selector to target a specific player, not all players within a radius. I may have misunderstood the question, but I think this is a valid answer.

  • I apologize, you are correct. It was I who misread the question. 🤦🏻‍♂️

  • It was quite ambiguous.
