This Minecraft tutorial explains the Levitation effect with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

Background

The Levitation effect is a status effect that causes a player to involuntarily float upwards into the sky and continue to rise. Once the effect wears off, you will stop rising and fall back to the ground.

There are levels of Levitation such as Levitation II, Levitation III, Levitation IV and so on. The higher the level of Levitation, the faster you will float upwards in the game.

You will also see particle effects floating around you. In the latest version of Minecraft, these particle effects will be a blue-green color.

Duration

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