Background
The Jump Boost effect is a status effect that lets you jump higher in the game.
But remember that the higher you jump, the farther you fall to the ground. So if you give yourself Jump Boost using the /effect command, you might find that you take fall damage each time after jumping.
There are levels of Jump Boost such as Jump Boost II, Jump Boost III, Jump Boost IV and so on. The higher the level of Jump Boost, the higher you will be able to jump in the game.
