data.addOnStart((entity, amplifier) -> {
    // Code executed when the effect starts
});

data.addOnTick((entity, amplifier) -> {
    // Code executed every tick
});

data.addOnEnd((entity, amplifier) -> {
    // Code executed when the effect ends
});

data.setTickDelay(20); // Setting delay between ticks

Complete effect development and register it in the system:

MobEffectsUtil.createEffect(data);
MobEffectsUtil.register(IEventBus bus);
