1.16.3 player variable

[link1213]

is it possible to add a variable to the player so that I can keep track of how often they are taking my custom potions, and cause negative effects if they do it too often. Kind of like how in thaumcraft you can go mad and have negative effects if you study certain things.

Capabilities.

I'm not sure this is quite what I'm looking for. This seems to be about storing energy, fluid, etc. What I want is just a variable that would go up over time as you take more potions, and go back down through various means.

And this is exactly something that capability system can solve...for example capabilities can be used to implement player thirst mechanics, mana levels etc...

oh! I'll take another look. Thank you both so much!

Capabilities store "arbitrary data." If your magic system isn't "arbitrary data" then something is very wrong indeed.
