Drained Soul, a new "blue fire" status effect (Nether Update)

I propose a new status effect, Drained soul, it will be get when player burns on blue fire. Every heart lost due to the damage of the blue flames cannot be recovered while the effect lasts... so hard! 🔥

The effect itself would not hurt, only prevent regeneration. The explanation would be that the blue flames do some kind of magical damage that drains the player's life until his death. This effect could also be applied by some type of Blue Blaze or new boss (Mmmmm Mob D?)

    This effect should definitely be added in the game, if not provoked with blue fire, it could happen otherwise. For example because of a new mob or by swimming in a soul river

    It's a good idea. Maybe the effect cannot wear off whilst standing in blue fire.

    i agree right now it just acts like fire nothing special its even weaker then normal fire but that effect will turn that handicap into a heloful nerf so u have a chance if survival but its still devastating due to the natives if the nether ghast especially

    Hands down with the designing Isla! I totally agree that soul fire should have a special effect. Especially since it has the word "soul" in its name. How would it not do something special?

    If they do add this (and I hope they do), they need to keep the textures you created. Nice work!

    Very cool idea, it'd be neat if there was also a potion that could do this.

    i love every detail you gave so far. the normal soul flame needs something special to it cuz its so bland and too similar to the normal fire and this would be perfect. i have another idea to add to this. what if in the soul sand valley a new mob called the soul blaze would spawn rarely if there is soul flame? it would be a normal blaze, but have the blue soul color like the flames and apply the draining soul status effect for 20 seconds. it would only be prevented with a potion of soul shielding and cannot be removed via milk. it would be brewed with a soul fire charge which will give you potion of soul draining which you could then invert with fermented spider eye to get potion of soul shielding. you get the soul fire charge by replacing the gun powder in the fire charge recipe with soul sand. soul shielding would prevent you from getting soul draining from any source and would initially last 1 minute. it can be extended to 2 minutes and 30 seconds and cannot be amplified with glow stone. the soul blaze could be a mini boss and have 50 HP. it will attempt to stay near soul sand/soil because if it is far away from soul sand/soil it wont be able to absorb the souls in it. it will then convert into a normal blaze.

    I LOVE THIS! Maybe it has a different color from soul fire and has a reverse animation for the basic flame? That way it looks like your health is getting sucked up. But when you stand on soul fire it gives you your lost hearts back.
