Effective Range describes the distance in which the player may attack a block or entity. Full damage will be inflicted up to this distance.
Maximum Range describes the maximum distance a ranged weapon will reach but with damage decreasing the closer it reaches the maximum value.
To calculate the Range of a weapon or tool you need to count how many blocks are between the player and the target.

x = Player
y = Target
| x | y | Range = 1 | |||||
