Health manipulation

How can I damage/heal the player?

Instant health/damage

The simplest way is through instant health / damage.

Example:

Deal 6 hearts of damage to the player

effect give @s instant_damage 1 1

Attributes

This is slightly more complex but allows far more precise manipulation.

1. Set the target’s generic.max_health attribute to the desired value
2. Give the target instant health
3. Reset the target’s generic.max_health

Example:

Deal 2 hearts of damage to the player

attribute @s generic.max_health base set 16
effect give @s instant_health 1 10 true
attribute @s generic.max_health base set 20
