[1.10] Set Max Health of Player

[Darki]

A little question but I dont find a solution: How can I set the max Health of a Player, e.g. that the player only has 5 hearts

You need to apply an attribute modifier to the player.

 

When I did this in my mod, I created a capability to manage the modifier. You can see the API here and the implementation here.

It depends on what your needs are.

 

When does the player's maximum health need to change? How often does it need to change? Are there existing systems (e.g. potions, equipment) that will apply the modifier when you need it?

Can you explain that a bit more? If you would want for the players health to not exceed 5 hearts for example I thought you only need to change it once when the player enters the world.

You could apply the modifier once when the player enters the world, but that will be a static reduction and won't account for other modifiers being added or removed.

 

If you want to change the modifier's amount, you need to handle removing it, re-calculating the reduction, making sure the max health doesn't reach 0 and re-applying it.

 

I chose to do this with a capability.
