This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

An attribute is a value that determines certain properties of mobs, armor stands, and players. Attributes also have modifiers that adjust the strength of their effects.

Applying attributes

Attributes can be applied directly to living entities using the /attribute command. The below command is an example that dramatically increases the luck attribute, leading to the player being able to fish treasures nearly every time:

/attribute @p minecraft:luck base set 1024

After it's modified, it can then be reset to the default value (which is 0.0 for minecraft:luck attribute):

/attribute @p minecraft:luck base reset

Additionally, attribute values can be specified when summoning a mob. For example, the following command summons a zombie that follows players when they are 100 blocks or fewer from it instead of the usual 40:

/summon zombie ~ ~ ~ {attributes:[{id:"follow_range", base:100.0d}]}

Item modifiers

Attributes can also be applied as attribute modifiers on items by using data components. When applied to an item, a modifier adjusts the corresponding attribute if the item is held or worn.^[1]^[2] Attribute modifiers can be added to items by adding data tags to the item. Each attribute modifier has a unique identifier, which is a resource location to identify the modifier.

The following command gives the player a netherite sword that deals 20HP × 10 extra damage:

/give @s netherite_sword[attribute_modifiers=[{type:"attack_damage", amount:20.0, operation:"add_value", id:"example:custom_damage", slot:"mainhand"}]]

Attributes

This section needs expansion.

You can help by expanding it.

Instructions: Add all content from the infoboxes to the attribute descriptions. Add more details about how each attribute works to the attribute descriptions.

A single attribute controls some property of an entity, described by its name; it has a base value, set within hard-coded minimum and maximum limits, and if undefined, it's specified by the default value. The base value may be multiplied or added by a set of modifiers; these affect the attribute's base, but the calculated value is always capped by the minimum and maximum.

Attribute modifiers have namespaced identifiers. If two modifiers have the same ID and affect the same attribute, then they do not stack; instead, only the one most recently added takes effect, overriding previous modifiers.

These attributes are found on all living and undead entities, including players.

Armor

This attribute defines the armor defense points.

Default	2.5
Minimum	0
Maximum	6

This section describes content that is currently in development for Java Edition.

This content has appeared in development versions for Java Edition Combat Tests, but the full update adding it has not been released yet.

This attribute determines the reach at which players can attack entities. It does not affect the interaction range.

Attack speed

ID	`attack_speed`
Default	4
Minimum	0
Maximum	1024

This attribute determines recharging rate of attack strength. Its value is the number of full-strength attacks per second.

Block break speed

ID	`block_break_speed`
Default	1
Minimum	0
Maximum	1024

This attribute determines the speed at which the player can break blocks as a multiplier.

Block interaction range

ID	`block_interaction_range`
Default	4.5
Minimum	0
Maximum	64

This attribute determines the block interaction range for players in blocks.

In Creative mode, the block interaction range is increased by 0.5 to make some actions easier. This does not affect the base value of the attribute, so the bonus acts as a modifier.

Burning time

ID	`burning_time`
Default	1
Minimum	0
Maximum	1024

This attribute is a multiplier for how long an entity should remain on fire after being ignited. A value of 0 eliminates the burn time. It has no impact on the burning time increase when staying in fire.

Camera distance

ID	`camera_distance`
Default	4
Minimum	0
Maximum	32

This attribute determines the distance at which the camera is placed away from the player or spectated entity when in a third-person view. This distance is multiplied by the scale attribute to get a final target camera distance. If the entity being ridden has a larger camera_distance attribute, that distance will be used.

Entity	Default value

Giant Ender Dragon	16
All other entities^[verify]	4

Entity interaction range

ID	`entity_interaction_range`
Default	3
Minimum	0
Maximum	64

This attribute determines the entity interaction range for players in blocks.

In Creative mode, the entity interaction range is increased by 2 to make some actions easier. This does not affect the base value of the attribute, so the bonus acts as a modifier.

Explosion knockback resistance

ID	`explosion_knockback_resistance`
Default	0
Minimum	0
Maximum	1

This attribute defines what percentage of knockback from explosions an entity resists. A value of 1 eliminates the knockback.

Knockback resistance

ID	`knockback_resistance`
Default	0
Minimum	0
Maximum	1

This attribute determines the scale of horizontal knockback resisted from attacks and projectiles. Vertical knockback is not affected. It does not affect explosions.^[4] The resistance functions as a percentage from 0.0 (0% resistance) to 1.0 (100% resistance) (e.g. 0.4 is 40% resistance, meaning the attributed mob takes 60% of usual knockback). Iron golems and wardens suffer zero knockback from attacks or projectiles.

Movement speed is the speed at which entities can move, but this is not the actual speed value in blocks/second. The mob's actual speed in blocks/second is a bit over 20 times this value, but is affected by various conditions, such as the behavior it's following (e.g. idling, attacking or fleeing), being ridden (if a horse), sprinting, being led by a leash, and being under the effect of a Speed or Slowness potion. Baby mobs also have an additional speed multiplier on top of the base value.

Modifiers

Modifiers increase or decrease the attribute's base value by using certain operations. The resulting value after modification is capped by the attribute's minimum and maximum limits. Similar to attribute names, modifiers have a namespaced identifiers to uniquely identify the modifier.

However, a modifier's ID does not define the modifier's behavior; instead, it is determined by its operation. Modifiers carry an amount to their modification. When attribute modifiers are applied to items, the type parameter is required; this defines which attribute the modifier affects. Modifiers can be added or removed from all living entities using the /attribute command, modifying the entity's NBT data, or using item modifiers via data components.

Operations

Modifier operations dictate how it modifies an attribute base value. There are three operations that exist in the game:^{[note 1]}

Operation	Description
add_value	Adds all of the modifiers' amounts to the base attribute. $Total = Base + {Amount}_{1} + {Amount}_{2} + \dots + {Amount}_{n}$ For example, applying two add_value modifiers with amounts of 2 and 4, to attribute base of 3: $Total = 3 + 2 + 4 = 9$
add_multiplied_base	Multiplies the base attribute by (1 + sum of modifiers' amounts). $Total = Base \times (1 + {Amount}_{1} + {Amount}_{2} + \dots + {Amount}_{n})$ ^{[note 2]} For example, applying two add_multiplied_base modifiers with amounts of 2 and 4, to attribute base of 3: $Total = 3 \times (1 + 2 + 4) = 3 \times 7 = 21$
add_multiplied_total	Multiplies the base attribute by (1 + modifiers' amounts) for every modifier. $Total = Base \times (1 + {Amount}_{1}) \times (1 + {Amount}_{2}) \times \dots \times (1 + {Amount}_{n})$ For example, applying two add_multiplied_total modifiers with amounts of 2 and 4, to attribute base of 3: $Total = 3 \times (1 + 2) \times (1 + 4) = 3 \times 3 \times 5 = 45$

If multiple attribute modifiers are applied, the game first executes all add_value modifiers, then all add_multiplied_base modifiers, and finally all add_multiplied_total modifiers. The Total value is always carried as the Base for the next set of modifiers.

↑ /attribute ... modifier add ... command shows the literal name of the operations.
↑ Algebraically equivalent form. The original formula used in the game's code is like: $Total = Base + (Base \times {Amount}_{1}) + (Base \times {Amount}_{2}) + \dots + (Base \times {Amount}_{n})$

Vanilla modifiers

As stated before, a modifier's ID can be anything, and this does not affect its behavior. The following are known modifier IDs and values used in vanilla Minecraft. Manually setting vanilla modifiers with the correct ID and attribute overrides the default value.
