The / effect strength 10000 61 command causes the mobs no to die when it attacks them. And from this level up to 255 of this effect if attacking a zombie wearing a diamond boot would not die too
Steps to Reproduce
1.Using the command / effect @p strength — Lv 61 when we hit a mob they do not die. Also when a zombie is wearing a diamond boot and we use the same effect at the same level or up to 255 they do not die too
I can confirm that using the /effect strength command above level 72 means that no damage can be dealt.

Strength 255 is non-functional, see MCPE-20469. You can't damage mobs at all with strength that high, probably because the damage values overflow the memory allocated to store them.
I think resistance reduces damage by 20% * level, so resistance 5 would reduce damage by 100%. Could you explain why you think that's a bug or what impact it has on the game?
Excessively high strength levels are non-functional because the damage calculation goes higher than the game can process. See MCPE-20469.

There is a ticket on this issue, MCPE-20469, but 10 is a very low level for this happen. Did you mean strength 100, by chance?

Confirming that jump boost has no effect on magma cubes. Updated summary to focus on just that.
The strength effect is simply unstable at high levels according to MCPE-20469. It's not possible to confirm anything specific to magma cubes with strength.

The issue isn't the boat, it's that strength 255 is not functional. See MCPE-20469.
You might want to try strength 20.
When the strength effect is very high, the damage value is so high that the number overflows the memory space allocated to store it.

I cannot reproduce the stated behavior. However, keep in mind that too strong a force effect removes damage altogether. MCPE-20469
Effect must be no more than level 50

Added test world.
it's an overflow. if the value is greater than 255 (which is the highest number possible with one byte of binary,) the game will treat it like a negative number.
Comments from
MCPE-64542:When I used [/effect @s strength 99999 73]
I got strength level 73 and could not attack any enemies
I could attack enemies when using [/effect @s strength 99999 72]
I tried strength level 80 , 90, 100 , 200 and 255 but also could not attack any enemies
But when I tried strength level 1-10,20,30,40,50,60,70-72 , i could attack enemies
Guys what are you doing with the insane strength levels? Strength 20 is enough to one-shot the Wither with your bare hands.
Justerfrog is probably right that there is an overflow happeneing, but it isn't at damage = 255. For strength level 61 it's at the damage = 32 million mark.
Here is a spreadsheet. Strength Table.xlsx
And a pic in case you don't want to bother with the spreadsheet:
personally I find this feature to be quite useful for disabling entities from dealing damage. Weakness 255 does not work if you are holding a high sharpness diamond sword, for example. I hope this doesnt get fixed, it doesnt negatively affect gameplay either. Strength 20 is plenty.
Bedrock is still using the outdated strength formula. And presumably, is still using outdated integers for health/damage?
When you have strength level 50 (51) applied, it stops dealing damage to mobs; the mob acts like if it got hurt, but doesn't receive any damage (I know this because it occurred with the wither that has a boss bar). So if your doing a sword fight with crazy strength effects, just make sure you use something under level 40-45.
@tryashtar: Yes, Bedrock uses integers for health and damage. For example, a creeper or armorless skeleton takes 10 punches to kill (2 dmg/punch), but an unarmored zombie takes 20 punches to kill due to the zombie's 2 natural armor points. Even though the zombie armor points should only reduce damage by 8% (= .16 for a punch), the actual damage value is truncated/rounded down to the nearest integer. In other words,
However, according to
MCPE-34981Bedrock doesn't use the orginal strength formula of +( 130% * level ), even though that is still shown in the tooltip. What it actually uses is a recursive function,The fact that it's recursive is why the damage values get insanely high very quickly.
Affects 1.17.10. Opposite effect occurs with high levels of weakness (mobs deal damage).
This problem applies to all entities, including mobs. If you give, for example, a zombie 255 the strength effect and he attacks you, you will not receive damage.
Affects 1.18.1
Affects 1.18.10. There are two possible results to this: 1. The mob appears to take damage, but does not take any damage. 2. You are unable to hit the mob at all (the mob does not even appear to be damaged). This seems to happen with lower and higher levels of Strength respectively.
Resolved at some point during or before 1.18.31.
