Summoned area effect cloud only applies effect after about 6 ticks
When summoning an area_effect_cloud with WaitTime:0, it takes about 6 ticks for the cloud to apply its Effects to a player/mob within its radius.
AECs with WaitTime:0 and Duration:1..5 won't apply the effect before they despawn.
How to reproduce:
- Summon an AEC with WaitTime:0 and Duration:1..5. This cloud will not apply its Effects to a nearby player/mob.
- Summon an AEC with WaitTime:0 and Duration:6. This cloud will apply its Effects to a nearby player/mob, just before it's Age reaches 6 and it despawns.
Examples:
/summon area_effect_cloud ~ ~ ~ {WaitTime:0,Duration:5,Radius:10,Potion:"minecraft:weakness"}
won't apply the effect, while
/summon area_effect_cloud ~ ~ ~ {WaitTime:0,Duration:6,Radius:10,Potion:"minecraft:weakness"}
will.
