Amplify Blindness

Currently, the Blindness effect only reduces your range of vision, which is fine gameplay wise. However, you can't actually change that effect through it with amplifying it with commands. It always stays the same. Maybe if the amplifier could be increased, it would decrease your range of vision, right down to having absolutely no vision at all. This could allow map makers to create some more interesting puzzles and situations

    Yes a change to blindness needs to change. Trick is amping up will need to reduce visibility in stages and give a viable survival option if it is ever implemented.  I'd propose amp 0 be 12 squares reduced visibility, amp 1 be like the current 4 squares, amp 3 be 1, amp 4 total blindness.

    Yes, I would want to use Blindness as a kind of "forced fog" as because we can't yet force one (You can usually disable it with Optifine and also it depends on your Chunk Render Distance which makes it not very constant) so, since we have a range of 0-255 (or 0-127 since 128+ or something breaks effects) maybe that would indicate your range of vision? Like, amplifier 0 would be all the blocks in maybe 128 blocks, and amplifier 127 would be 1 block or no vision at all (like the Blindness + Night Vision glitch, but this time its intentional). It's just my thought of this idea instead of using just 5 amplifiers we could use the entire range we're allowed for.

    In the new update, it seems like being in powdered snow will make the player have a fog effect like blindness but white and ice surrounds the screen. It would also be nice if that could be used in mapmaking as an effect e.g:"/effect @s hypothermia 10 1" and if you could amplify the strength of this as well as blindness. I feel like this and amplifying blindness is something they might add if they are making this new effect. I think they way it works should also be as the higher the "strength" value is, the further you can see as it will probably be much easier than making it go closer at a higher strength.
    Just an idea tho.
