Examples#

"entity_action": {
    "type": "apoli:damage",
    "amount": 4,
    "damage_type": "minecraft:on_fire"
}

This example will deal 2 hearts of on_fire damage, which by its tags in vanilla is considered fire damage and bypasses armor.

"entity_action": {
    "type": "apoli:damage",
    "damage_type": "minecraft:out_of_world",
    "modifiers": [
        {
            "operation": "set_base",
            "value": 2
        },
        {
            "operation": "multiply_total_multiplicative",
            "resource": "example:damage_multiplier",
            "value": 0
        }
    ]
}

This example will deal 2 * (1 + example:damage_multiplier) amount of out_of_world damage to the entity, with 2 used for overriding the base value for the modifiers, and the value of the example:damage_multiplier (data/example/powers/damage_multipler.json) power as the “multiplier”. If the value of the said power is 3, the amount of damage that will be dealt will be 8 (2 * (1 + 3) = 8.)
