Removing effects

Players can use milk to remove effects in Minecraft. Milk can remove potions or bad omen effects. Bad omen effects are gained when a player kills the raid captain. This effect will not go away unless a player drinks milk.

Splash potions and regular potions will also be removed when a player drinks milk. Players will see a little animation on their screen during the removal, then the effect will be removed when it is over.

Countering the Wither

Milk can also be used when a player is countering a wither. When a player is being attacked by a Wither they will be under the Wither effect which will cause the player to take damage over time.

However, drinking milk will counter this effect. When a player consumes milk, it will automatically remove the Wither's effect. The Wither's effect is pretty dangerous and players may want to drink the milk fast. When fighting the Wither, the health bar will turn black, leaving players clueless about their current health.
