**Freezing** is an [effect](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Effect) that causes the affected to slowly freeze as though they're in [Powder Snow](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Powder_Snow).

## Effect

The effect simulates the freezing effect mobs and players have when they're in powder snow. The "TicksFrozen" increases more the higher the effect level.

Entities under "freeze\_immune\_entity\_types" are immune to this effect and does nothing to entities wearing full armor that are "freeze\_immune\_wearables" like [leather armor](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Armor). Players wearing Frost Robes are immune to the effect.

Much like being in powder snow, fire-related mobs like [striders](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Strider), [magma cubes](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Magma_cube), and [blazes](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Blaze) take 5 hearts from freezing and [Skeletons](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Skeleton) turn into [strays](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Stray) instead of taking freezing damage.
