When to use it

Give explorers or staff ten minutes of clearer cave visibility with particles hidden. This does not place light sources, so a bright view is not proof that terrain is safe from mobs.

Before running

Confirm the recipient, especially during a shared map inspection. @p is relative to the execution point. Start safely and check the effect status before entering darkness.

Follow in order

All commands

Remove the old effect

/effect clear @p minecraft:night_vision

An existing Night Vision with more time left blocks the give command, so clear it first

Wrap line

Add the effect

/effect give @p minecraft:night_vision 600 0 true

600 seconds equals 10 minutes

Wrap line

What to customize

600 is seconds, not ticks; 0 is the zero-based amplifier, and the final true hides particles. Change 600 for a different duration without increasing the amplifier.

Verify the result

Look for night_vision with roughly ten minutes remaining, then inspect a safe dark area. Missing particles are intentional and do not indicate that the effect failed.

When results differ

If visibility improves but mobs remain, light or secure the terrain separately. With no effect at all, check the recipient and edition: Bedrock effect syntax does not use this give subcommand.
