Entity Requirement

An entity requirement is a set of criteria that an entity must meet in order to be considered a match. They currently support checking:

• Entity IDs and tags

• Entity location:

  • x/y/z

  • x/y/z offset

  • biome at entity's position

  • structure at entity's position

  • dimension at entity's position

  • light level at entity's position

  • block at entity's position

  • fluid at entity's position

• Block entity is standing on (same as "Entity location", but 1 block below)

• Potion effects

• NBT

• Entity flags:

  • On fire

  • Sneaking

  • Sprinting

  • Swimming

  • Invisible

  • Glowing

  • Baby

• Equipment (head, chest, legs, feet, main hand, offhand)

  • Each of these is an item requirement

• Entity-specific data:

  • Players:

    • Game mode (survival, creative, adventure, spectator)

    • Stats (blocks mined, distance walked, etc)

    • Unlocked recipes

    • Advancements

    • Entity the player is looking at

  • Entities with variants (cats, horses, etc.)

    • Variant name

  • Fishing bobber:

    • If the bobber is in an open lake

  • Lightning bolt:

    • Entities struck by the lightning

    • Blocks set on fire

  • Entity is wearing piglin-pacifying armor

  • Village raiders:

    • Is the raid captain

    • Part of an active raid

    • Active raid info

  • Slime:

    • Size of the slime

• Vehicle (entity that this entity is riding)

• Passenger (entity riding this entity)

• Target (entity being targeted by this entity, if it is a hostile mob)

• Temperature traits (thermal resistance, insulation, etc.)

These are modeled after Vanilla's entity predicates, and are structured like so:

Type-Specific Data

The type_data field is used to check entity-specific data, such as player info or variant name. The format of this field varies depending on the type of entity.

Entities with Variants

  "type_data": {
    "type": "variant",
