Damage Source

An Object used to specify how to deal damage to an entity.

Danger

The concept of damage sources is deprecated. Associated fields may be removed in a future version. Any power or action requiring you to specify a damage source, will now have a way to specify a damage type instead (usually a field called damage_type) which should be used instead. More information here.

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
`name`	String		The name of the damage source. Controls death message as well as other interactions. Consider the List of Damage Source Names when picking a name.
`bypasses_armor`	Boolean	`false`	When true, armor values are not taken into account when calculating the actual damage amount taken.
`fire`	Boolean	`false`	When true, the damage will be considered fire damage.
`unblockable`	Boolean	`false`	When true, the damage will be unblockable (not reduced by resistance effects or protection enchantments).
`magic`	Boolean	`false`	When true, the damage will be considered magic damage.
`out_of_world`	Boolean	`false`	When true, the damage will be considered "out of world" damage, i.e. damage from falling into the void.
